Human art for human stories

As a certain ~date~ given by a certain ~corporation~ approaches, after which users will no longer be able to download their ebooks... We're DRM-free, meaning you actually own your audiobooks. You can download the files whenever, & listen to them wherever. I know, I know...not ebooks. But still 😉

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

I still don’t understand why Democrats would negotiate a budget when the Trump administration claims unilateral authority to cancel any spending it dislikes. As long as congressional Republicans endorse that position, they are not legitimate negotiation partners! An agreement with them has no value!

So important to ignore some people on social media who know nothing at all about anything.

Peter, the press corps has power. Don’t go!

This is the reason I left Substack, and paid to host my own website. This is the clearest example of the nazi bar analogy, and they’ve hired the nazis to serve your friends drinks Plus, moving off the platform hurts their own wallet when they can’t take that % from your paid subs

!! COSPLAY RESOURCE -- FABRIC SHOPS LIST !! We're all super sad about Joann Fabrics closing... now's a great time to start making that list of other places to shop for fabrics online! Some of my personal favorites: 🧵⬇️

Today is a comfort day. Last week of February and most of March historically has been rough on my mental health. But today’s goals are to get fed, drink enough water, and go to bed early after watching comfort TV.

No notes

I hope we run all these big shitty businesses into the fucking ground within the next four years 💖

Being clear-eyed and honest is really important especially now.

I've never seen it stated so plainly: Joyce can imagine herself as an author whose book event is disrupted by protestors so she opposes the protest. Can you imagine yourself as a fired federal worker or deported immigrant? Wouldn't you want people to take drastic measures on your behalf?

Beautiful, also, is the sun Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people

This. I'm not defending Musk's intelligence (which is hugely overblown), but we must understand that he doesn't believe the things he says. His statements do not reflect his *analysis* or actual understanding of anything. He doesn't want to weaponize facts; he wants to make them irrelevant.

I have work to get to today. Before heading offline, I want to share again that we made a workbook for Let This Radicalize You and if you look on pp. 100-109, you will find a list of countless organizing resources: books, articles, manuals, podcasts etc... It's all there to use.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

They fired a top Black general and are replacing him with a much less-qualified white general. They’re not hiding the racism.

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site? Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.

Boots No.2

Joann’s closing post their monopoly destroying a lot of small fabric businesses across the country is gonna impact cosplayers, and sewing/crafting hobby-ists of all kinds. But hopefully it will give a chance for new small local fabric shops to pop up as well as those shops struggling to survive…

Depending on people to be brave is not a good strategy.

Comfort book

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

I have never been able to convey just how bad maternal health is down here in the Gulf, especially for Black women. But this @mississippitoday.org report? It does it, and I hope EVERYONE reads it. mississippitoday.org/2025/02/19/m...

ICE raided a home up the block from me last week. My neighbors had attended a community ICE watch training with @siembranc.bsky.social and did exactly what they'd learned: verified, challenged, and witnessed. truthout.org/articles/tru...

Here are the Palestinian children that Zionism killed before they reached their first birthdays. Shared on X by Laila Al-Arian.

I think about this a lot. The conclusion I circle around is that fictional villains exist to entertain empathetic good people. I worry that those of us raised by fiction (hey) grew up expecting more from our bad guys, and honestly giving way too many chances to jerks because surely there’s a reason.

I just quit a second book from an author I like because there’s too many acronyms in the ones I picked up. I’m too tired to keep up with all that. Just spell shit out before you’re dropping short hand. It’s like the lazy ass Reddit stories where the posters just use initials. Try harder guys.

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Getting your head chopped off by a crowd of revolutionaries does.

Paraphrasing a colleague jokingly told me, "maybe you can be less loud for a few years about issues to be safe". Let me tell you something, I lived that life in my childhood when people step by step lost their rights to be safe. Once day we opened our eyes and we were living a dictatorship.

IRS employee tells me the IRS is going to terminate ~6,600 people today. These are by and large people who "go after tax evasion."

Abby made a handout for people who want to print it out and hand it out where you are. Thanks Abby.

Folks, you can also just make handouts with your own messages and information. OK?

I hate that mornings I wake up needing to self soothe because the constant barrage of bad news is exactly what the republicans are planning in order to traumatize us out of taking action.

White Lotus fans please don’t flock to Thailand and colonize it with over tourism. You will destroy everything beautiful and sacred just as you have with almost everywhere else in the world.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

While I do really enjoy audiobooks, especially reading Agatha Christie, the narrators for any of the Poirot books always muck up the accents to overdramatized. To the point I can’t focus and understand what the fuck they’re saying. It’s so frustrating.

I like the economic blackout and plan to participate, but truly, y'all, if you're not already switching to buying second hand as much as possible, now is the time.
