GENOCIDE BAD is a NYT and USA Today Bestseller!!! In 40 years of publishing, indie press @interlinkbooks.bsky.social, the only Palestinian-owned press in the US, has faced severe censorship and hate. I am so honored to have worked with them on this book!

AND WHAT IT DOES DO IT DOES BADLY YOU CLOWNS

“Im not sure linking anything to Ghorman is a good idea right now” literally how people talk about Palestine right now

It's the last day of #IndieApril but I am a tired bean, so you get a repost about my queer fantasy books! Below are just the recent/coming projects, too! 🌈📚

Once again I am BEGGING journalists in the Age of Disinformation to put their CONCLUSIONS in the headline and not open-ended “questions” that serve no citizen but SEO. (“Republicans wildly exaggerate how much Minnesota pays for undocumented health care”) minnesotareformer.com/2025/04/30/h...

This is one of those videos that will be imprinted in your brain for many many years to come. This is why we fight for moments like this

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: "Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a Reuters camera drone which was observing the facility. Buses to the airport were turned around at the last second."

Get an AI clause in your contract. Make your estate planning explicit; do not leave room for interpretation by your heirs or publishers so that they can do this or anything like this. This is abuse of a corpse and it is REVOLTING.

We knew this and we said it and people were furious that we said it. With no evidence, people wanted to believe the lies of proven liars.

*whispers* You know who can help you do your own research by finding you verifiable sources and teaching you how to evaluate websites with skills like lateral reading and SIFT? Librarians.

Think it's time to bring this back from 2023 bookjockeyalex.com/2023/05/08/s...

Anne Frank died in a foreign prison from an illness acquired from the inhumane conditions. I don’t know why this doesn’t click for people.

a lot of y’all are acting like ol bot really believes garcia is in ms-13. you are not witnessing a dottering old man who doesn’t recognize an obvious photoshop job. you’re witnessing someone who wants everyone to believe whatever he says/believes and will go to great pains to force them to.

Seeing a little more capitulation lately, an attempted vibe shift of "being anti gAI is lame and whiny" "we should celebrate ethical uses", and respectfully, are you fucking insane? To look at the last 5yrs of crypto, NFTs enshitification, scams and go "its not that bad & surely can't get worse!"

Are you fucking kidding me, Andor? Jul gur SHPX ner jbzra bs pbybe fgvyy orvat qvfcbfrq bs sbe shpxvat fubpx inyhr? #rot13

This is really disappointing (and disingenuous: AI is by definition unethical in its environmental impact alone, let alone the theft and exploitation)

Me standing near the TV at 9 PM Eastern, reminding my family that I’m taking over the TV when Andor drops. #andor

It would only take a few Republicans flipping under pressure to make this a viable thing. www.axios.com/2025/04/28/a...

@npr.org for every minute spent talking to a non-autistic person about autistic people's needs, you should be giving at least 2x that amount to actually autistic people— & not just in written stories, but on-air. Apply said rubric to any other group under attack right now for their lived realities.

🤠

Wow, finally we get some answer as to what happened! They really did just run all names through law enforcement databases and terminate SEVIS status for anyone with a match, no matter the circumstances or magnitude of the "offense" (including things like speeding tickets and even dropped charges).

As several people have pointed out, I hit all these bullseyes completely by accident. But it pleases me that Jenny resonates in this way with her trans fans.

Hello everyone! My memoir, "I Was An Abomination," is coming out in June! Do you want to win a free signed copy? Donate $18 or more to any PALESTINIAN or mutual aid requestor On Here between now and May 31, 2025, and be entered to win a FREE signed copy!

Can everyone just stop it with the "if this was Black people or immigrants" shit? There are websites devoted to "Asian grooming gangs" and real or imaginary immigrant crime stats. A racist party is pretty high in the polls. And transphobia *still matters* without downplaying racism and xenophobia.

I was already going to do it but now I'm gonna do it more

This is completely disconnected from reality. A bald-faced lie. And I can prove it 🧵

Uncle Miyazaki says fuck your generative AI

idk if you know this but there's a duology about a demisexual chosen one who saved her island from dragon riders at 12 and then five years later is forced to choose between saving the world or saving her lesbian sister who has bonded with an enemy dragon bookshop.org/contributors...

For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other items has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel. Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare. Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children.

Defund the Police. Abolish ICE. Two absolutely great ideas that have never been tried. There are a whole bunch of other bangers too, just ready and waiting to make a better world! De-Schumerize and WIN.

Hi y'all, it's been my birthday month, so I'm using that as an excuse to ask for help My foundation needs a complete replacement. Been able to save up a little on my own, but it's not nearly close to the cost coverage, and I'm worried about the initial estimate increasing with tariffs #HelpSky💸💕

They keep insisting there are good use cases for LLMs, but none of them rise to the level of "this is so important it justifies breaking copyright, destroying the environment, and paying people in the Global South $1 a day to data train the worst parts out."

One of the wildest things is that they co-opted the term AI when it doesn't remotely apply just to cash in on the public imagination (mostly from those writers!) and yeah... They have now made the entire concept radioactive, when they never even made fucking AI to begin with.

I keep seeing posts telling people not to use "deportation" to describe this outrage. I don't object to alternatives, but "deportation" w/out legal basis has long been an enumerated crime against humanity (from Nuremberg to the ICC). That includes (as a paradigmatic case) the deportation of citizens

The beauty of "Abolish ICE" as a slogan, its rapid cooption and then abandonment by ideological grifters aside, is that countering it requires the ICE defender to take on the burden of defending goon squads that disappear children. Abolish ICE & the goons are no longer employed to do state violence

Please share this with every European person you know! The collection period to consider a ban on the torture of LGBTQ+ people (so called "conversion practices") ends next month! eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Wanderhome happening now!! This fundraiser goes through the weekend - I'll be playing in a game tomorrow, but there's lots of good stuff happening today!

This country treats AI and corporations as people and Palestinians and immigrants as not
