She's explicitly using Potter bux to fund her war on trans people. If you truly can not quit the wizarding world at the very least pirate it

Don’t buy that fucking Hogwarts game, don’t watch that new Harry Potter show. I have been repeating this for years, any money that goes into JK Rowling’s pockets is going to be used against trans people. She financially backed the BS ruling that came out of the UK supreme court today.

There's a cool looking martial arts adjacent hoodie I want, but the company selling it keeps posting the cringiest bullshido nonsense. Like, I love your hoodie that styled to look like a gi, but damn man, the lanyard zip string inside is not a self defense tool no matter how bad you want it to be.

I don't "review" books unless it's glowing as a matter of professional courtesy (there are enough people ready to shit on lit work), but fuuuuuuuck did I HATE the book I just finished. It's no one I know or follow, but this will definitely be the last thing I read by them. 1/2

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Woke up this morning to a skiff of snow on the ground and to amuse myself played Prince's "Sometimes It Snows in April" totally forgetting that it's a bummer ass song about someone's best friend dying. Yeah, well-played brain, you dumb fuck! sigh

Have de-Amazoned the house and accounts. Deregistered and factory reset all three S̶t̶a̶s̶i̶ Echo devices, canceled Prime, Amazon Music Unlimited, and all pending pre-orders. I haven't canceled the Am credit card, but it's no longer the default payment method on accounts and is only an emergency backup.

LIBERATION, my science fiction tale of a Nigerian space mission, is available for preorder at all good ebook stores. It is (or should be) DRM free. It's out on the 16th of April.

It's not really a proper dire wolf. It's a genetically modified grey wolf, making it as much a real dire wolf as a chihuahua. A study published in Nature in 2021 found evidence that dire wolves were not closely related to gray wolves, BTW.

Some crypto-bro just called me a "cad." LOLOL! I'm pretty sure he straighened his fedora (ackshually, it's a trilby) and drew a nail-bitten finger lovingly down the scabbard of a nearby aluminum alloy mall katana while he did. (Yes yes, it's called a "saya.")

As a former associate editor of the Quinnipiac Probate Law Journal, I can confirm. Articles published by non-student authors in law journals are NOT peer reviewed. Maybe they'll get a decent line edit/citation check if the student editors aren't intimidated by the author. The Lancet they aren't.

In predicable fashion, the fascists are beginning with intellectual and artistic purges. While Vance is in charge of what will eventually escalate to an assault on degenerate art, DOGE is inhibiting public intellectual assets and ICE and Rubio are rounding up foreign dissident intellectuals.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

This is the op-ed Rumeysa Ozturk co-wrote in 2024 criticizing the Tufts administration’s response to student demands for action regarding Gaza and Israel. It is unquestionably speech protected by the First Amendment. /1 www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2024...

One of the things about getting older that sneaks up on you is the idea of your friends dying becomes less an anomaly and simply more the cost of having friends. Every day with the people you love is a gift, folks. Don't waste a single one counting on more to come.

I'm feeling it too. My feed used to be a good mix of social justice/current affairs, TTRPGS, and nudes. Now it's 100% doom. I don't know anyone who can maintain this level of negative content and not suffer for it.

Pete keeps drunk texting. Usually just “WOOOOOOOOOO! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮” or sometimes “NINJA BROG!” But last night it was “WE BMOBIN IRAN ABAYBEE!!!!!” WTF is this guy’s deal? Like how did he get this number?

Interesting profile of S&S imprint publisher Sean Manning, though it also kind of misses the bigger picture, which is that the whole company is on a ticking clock thanks to their private equity owner.

There is no level of fame that will ever prevent you from being forgotten. Take this as inspiration to be motivated by something meaningful.
