No one even believes that opt-out is intended to work. It is just a convenient fig leaf that allows the thieves to pretend that they care while ignoring everyone’s opt-out requests.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Dear all federal employees, DO. NOT. RESPOND. Default to your union now. Musk has zero official authority in government. Dare him to fire the entire federal government on Monday.

It’s got that new book smell, right out of 1912, with bright red blood staining the page edges. Couldn’t be more proud—couldn’t be any cooler:

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

You know, they never stop at one group. Never. They come for one, they (eventually) come for all. They start with the smallest because they know the others will go about their business, thinking it will never happen to them. We should all be thinking about this. Because they will get to you.

I used to give away Pratchett books on the anniversary of his death, March 12th. I haven't done it in a few years. I'm bringing it back. I can send a potato to a politician on your behalf, or I can send you a Pratchett book on the 12th, your choice. To enter, list your fav Pratchett quote.

I just learned that the etymology of 'muscle' is the Latin for 'mouse' because they thought flexing looked like little mice scuttling under the skin, and I couldn't be happier.

Fuck this shit! NHS waiting times in Leeds are over 10 years!!! And that's with RTC. The fact that they're not even letting the public consult on this says it all. Please use the very easy form to contact your MP and tell them to piss off with this discriminatory shit!

Occasional reminder that all of my books have been ratings-bombed on GR (multiple 1-stars of all books, posted by new accounts on the same day) so if you’re checking GR ratings of queer books keep that sort of thing in mind.
