Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Ah, yes. Here is a measured public notice if I've ever seen one. What does HIV testing have to do with gender ideology, and what portions on the page "do not reflect biological reality"? How do you say "Sir, this is a Wendy's" in White House speak?

#bookoftheday Wild Faith by Talia Lavin #bookmarkoftheday library receipt of whoever had the book before me So far my favorite part is when @swordsjew.bsky.social calls Steve Bannon a "human yeast infection". Chilling, hilarious, informative read.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

Can't like this whole thread enough. In a hellish week and a half of post after depressing, soul-crushing post, this one has finally given me a glimmer of hope. We won't make it easy for them.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

I'd like to note the outrage of overediting a Nobel laureate in his area of expertise, and that a lot of writers (including me) have had horrible experiences of overediting in the legacy media: not just changing language but meaning and often values. Making your voice and views into theirs.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like. static.politico.com/b3/3e/5baf92...

Netanyahu will gladly sell out the safety of every single Jew in Diaspora if it means a few more far-right governments that will refuse to crack down against Israeli settlements at the UN.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.
