If you want to understand what's happening with the concentration camp arc we're on—all this domestic and overseas detention, and the attempt to erase various groups from society—please join me (and others!) Wednesday June 11 @ noon to find out what can be done. Free, but registration required.

I adored this piece by Mary Robinette Kowal, as a medievalist and and a writer of magical realism myself www.uncannymagazine.com/article/marg...

Just staining a deck for my beloved old boss. The world is on fire, but we must go on. Find some peace in your day, if you can.

This whole thread is so needed right now. It's early morning, but you can handle this truth.

Clear and concise explanation about the: “Anti-Woke.” 🤷🏾‍♂️

I know it's a hassle to fact check stuff you see, but we are being surrounded by mis- and dis-information memes designed to control our emotions and make us panic. Just go to the original poster's timeline and see if they posted it. It's one extra step. Don't let bad actors put words in your mouth.

When signing up, be sure to choose the “Audit” option for the free class. You won’t get credit, but you’ll learn so many cool things about our government! Think of it as a history and civics redo. 👍

“There’s an America that the world hates — an America of arrogance and power… Trump has made this America his calling card.” “Springsteen is heir to another America…an America of promise, that finds a way to rise up against injustice. A country of opportunity, not just a playground for oligarchs.”

Love this from Pedro Pascal at Cannes: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don’t let them win"

4 new words added to the script. I want my lawyer. Every day is shut the fuck up Friday

I'm currently unemployed, but I wholeheartedly recommend the Kyiv Independent as a trusted source of information and news, and I hope you have the means to support their work ❤️

Working on my story. Coming up with future tech is easy if it's just things that ordinary people actually want and need; or are accidentally beholden to by bad actors like Facebook. I need to watch this movie again m.imdb.com/title/tt0101....

Ben is a hero. ❤️

Timeline cleanse with good kitty.

I had to do a palate cleansing throwback playlist to get through this day, and this gem appeared, a Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson classic, "Mystic Child." m.youtube.com/watch?v=mNFV...

She quotes Tears for Fears, my heroine

Working on my story. My main character feels old because she can remember when there was daylight savings time. Heh.

WESA reported this good news this morning, and this after watching Piers Morgan, who is NOT generally considered a good guy, absolutely shred a racist on his Uncensored show. It's going to be another wild day, I guess. Acknowledge the good stuff that happens.
