Elon’s evil munchkins sent this ridiculous email out to all 2 million or so Federal employees demanding they reply by midnight Monday. If you want to let them know what you did last week I’m bet they’d love to hear from you at [email protected]! I can’t wait to tell them about my norovirus symptoms!

Anyway, I have a groovy new website if you feel like checking it out, and there are tons of photos of Sallie.

Just putting this out there and reminding people about that sabotage manual that gets linked every now and then

I did some of this years ago in the local fishwrap. I submitted cold and made no money, but an excellent editor there made me better at the format. If I knew how to get paid, I'd do it more.

this this this is sound advice!

Oooohhhhh

Nate Silver has to believe that Nate Silver and people like Nate Silver are geniuses who deserve everything they got because otherwise he’s just one of a couple hundred guys who did some interesting stuff with baseball statistics and then claimed he was a data genius so could cover all fields.

Haven’t done this in a while, so who needs a book recommendation? They’re free, as long as you promise not to order from Amazon…

WILL WRITE BOOKS FOR EGGS!

I find this literally breathtaking

You don’t need to have photos of people doing the seig heil and you don’t need to show Musk’s face when you write about the coup. My feed is often suffused with both and they start to overwhelm the words of opposition accompanying them.

please, i also urge this.

Claiming helpless ignorance of wickedness for which they are directly responsible is among 2025’s hottest fascist trends!

This was an excellent question about how to get media attention for statements. Here are my thoughts.

Count 3: "Section 504 is unconstitutional." GOP: We had no idea this lawsuit claimed section 504 was unconstitutional omg ur so mean to say otherwise!

If you would like to learn how to do this kind of writing, I will teach you. I will, if you have no money, do it for free. I will, if you have some money, invite you to my "writing coach" patreon. I will, if you have an institutional budget, charge a fair workshop rate. Lollardfish @ gmail.

Fight. Back. The best time to start was when you first noticed. The second best time is right now.
