I've really been enjoying the local reporting coming out of @lancasteronline.bsky.social lately. Especially now when so many of the big papers are feeling like billionaires' vanity projects, if you've got a local paper, hang on with both hands.

"We have to remember to get the rest of our money." "It's always the money for you." "We're kidnapping a priest to sabotage a child on behalf of a gang lord. Why are you doing this, the goodness of your heart?" #shitmyplayerssay #d&d #ttrpgs

Do this and then, if doing this means you save money, invest that money into organizations that serve your community. There's a lot of people doing good work--shelters, food banks, bail funds, civil rights groups--and they need $. Scare the banks, help the helpers. #economicblackout

Ok ok ok my newest short story is out in The Fantastic Other. It's pretty weird and probably blasphemous. So you should read it, and/or accept the lichen as your god. #writesky #horror fantasticother.com/2025/02/12/r...

Finished audio book for The Eye of the World (1st in Wheel of Time series.) I'm sure it's some sort of faux pas to compare high fantasy titles to Lord of the Rings but, well, it's very much like LotR. But with more prophecies. And female characters. And fantasy gender roles. #booksky

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at [email protected]. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

People should absolutely call their Republican representatives. Most of them won't change their minds, but if enough people are mean enough to the staffers answering the calls, maybe the staffers will burn out and quit.

Just finished audiobook of Babel. I love a really immersive historic fantasy and this one is a very interesting celebration/critique of Oxford specifically, and academia generally. Can't get into the ending here without spoilers, so you'll just have to decide for yourself. #booksky

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask: "Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?" And see what happens.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Went to see a (very good) college production of Into the Woods over the weekend, and still thinking about the choice to have milky white be played by a human person with a pink fanny pack (no puppet) who ambled around the stage generally being the funniest person in the play.
