It's possible she may be guilty of this crime, but it's unreasonable for her to pay too high a price for 20 seconds of action. Think of her future! Girls will be girls.

Given how many lives they destroy as a matter of daily business, I think we should expect that the rulers will try to stop any challenge to their power with as much brutality and cruelty as they can muster. You know, in the novel I'm writing.

Skylarks nest low in tall grass, raising streaky chicks well-hidden from view. Both parents feed them, dropping low to the nest and slipping away quietly to avoid drawing attention. #SpringStories

If you see this, post a dragon.

Hey maybe this political/economic system isn't actually working out so good.

Adding Unbound/Boundless to the list of publishers that steal from writers

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no

Authors, ✨ IMPORTANT PSA ✨ 🧵⬇️ This whole thread is so infuriating. PAY YOUR AUTHORS. AHHHH. 😫 As a struggling author, my heart goes out to everyone owed money. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. This is unacceptable. 📚💙

Person who was assigned female at birth but wore men's clothes, used a man's name and lived as a man for most of his life: "I am a man, I want to be a man and no one can forbid me that". Academics discussing them: it's unclear if they're trans.

I am remembering a moment when Congress was up in arms about plagiarism charges that were no where near as clear cut.

Journalists, you don't have to say MAHA or any of the other dumb stuff you see on the internet. You can use your own words, the ones you learned in writing school.

Most people don't know this: that Scotland's Gypsy Travellers had their children and their culture ripped away from them. It's history that's been swept under the rug. ScotGov must listen to this report, and give a public apology for its part in this cultural genocide!

Because there are some whitesplainers absolutely melting down about this I’m going to Blacksplain to you people that as long as the fascism of white supremacy is given a pass, the threat of fascism that targets white people will always lurk in the background Them’s the breaks

remigration is neo-nazi speak for ethnic cleansing. wrote a whole story about the origins of the word here: www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

so many of you have not done actually risky activism work and it shows. it’s fucking tragic because the sloppiness now is going to make you UNSAFE to the people you want to help when shit really hits the fan. OPSEC ISN’T JUST TO PROTECT YOU. IT’S TO PROTECT THOSE AROUND YOU.

Democrats remain vulnerable to the right's framing on an endless series of ginned-up moral panics. Dems' instinct is always to meet the right halfway on whatever bullshit they've cooked up. This is a result of not have their own policy platform beyond diet fascism and slightly less corruption.
