What if those lost in the middle passage came back to their human cousins? "Lost Ark Dreaming" by @suyidavies.com is in a Lagos of towers stratified by class and level. It has sacrifice and family and love. And it is an adventure story of a motley group. It's vivid and I want more.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast. There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

My illegal Pinkerton is driving me to my illegal hotel while the hallucination machine in my phone summarizes the emails my coworkers wrote using their hallucination machines. My burrito travels separately in its own limo. This is innovation and normal.

I’m on a comfort read binge right now so just re-read the first three books of The Chronicles of Osreth by @pennyvixen.bsky.social. It is relaxing to read about competent people who are out of their depth but trying their damndest. The next one comes out in a couple of weeks and I am very excited.

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

All these articles about Democrats moaning over their messaging issues make me tired. You know what's more important than messaging? ACTION. Don't TALK about the price of eggs. Tell people "MEET US IN THE PARK - WE'RE GIVING OUT FREE EGGS. THAT'S RIGHT - FREE EGGS FROM THE DEMOCRATS!"

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

My comic is about two interracial interfaith husbands fighting Vampire warlords in the Wild West. It's full of queer love, scifi mysteries, and cowboy action. Together they take on a world that wants them dead. I think you’ll love it. #queer #comic #kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/jam...
