#teslatakedown I made some protest art.

This is a carbonized loaf of bread from Pompeii, 79 C.E. - preserved for thousands of years in the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius. The baker left his stamp: “Celer, slave of Quintus Granius Verus." Celer is known to have survived the eruption, as his name later appears on a list of freed men.

Headed out of town for a professional conference & 25 year (25 years?!?!) grad school reunion.

I’m running for Governor of New Mexico. In Congress and as Secretary of the Department of the Interior, I've fought for our state. Now, it's time to tackle our toughest challenges with the fierceness only New Mexicans know. Join me. youtu.be/rYKORMUch5Y?...

I'm writing a two-part novel meant to have a front cover on both ends, one of those books where you have to flip the book over to read the second and both stories meet in the middle. It's called GULF OF MEXICO/GULF OF AMERICA. One of the two stories is for idiots.

Nikes first Superbowl commercial in 27 years. What a way to pop back out 🔥

It’s their day. #SuperbOwlSunday

Two Hurricanes in a half hour period at Pat O’Brien’s in New Orleans. Sadly, I bet someone is making that exact same mistake right now and will be watching a different sort of bowl than many others…

For #Caturday: a poignant photo by Paul Koudounaris of a beloved cat's tombstone. "'He was only a cat,' but he was human enough to be a great comfort in hours of loneliness and pain." Check out his book, FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH, about pet cemeteries and memorials: bookshop.org/p/books/fait...

Daphne Du Maurier wrote an entire novel about her.

What an amazing device!

Hey. Stop apologizing for promoting your book. You see all these “writing is resistance! write, make art!” posts that have been going viral like every day around here? Promoting the book you wrote so people know it exists is supposed to be the end result of that. You’re fine. Just promote your book.

This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

Our current need is to redesign our website and reader’s portal. The tech we’re using was built in 2018 and is fraying at the edges. Help us out and earn some cool rewards. Check it out on GoFundMe. gofund.me/729217a7

Seibu Railway has released new manner posters encouraging passengers to be considerate while riding the train. These posters highlight common issues like blocking doors, loud conversations, and taking up excess space.

This may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we COULD ask Mothra for help

My 14 year old is downstairs singing & talking to a friend. He just said, “Supernatural without Sam is like an Otter Pop when it’s-25 degrees outside.” I am so delighted right now.

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate. The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

Do not wait to support your library. Some of us have supportive boards and communities. Others do not. But if one suffers, we all suffer. It's the principle of the thing. Workers support each other. Because who knows who's next. Protect access to information free from surveillance!

Truly brave people never tell you how brave they are. The most intelligent people don't tell you how smart they are. The best athletes don't tell you how great they are. They just know. And are secure in that fact. True confidence is quiet. Insecurity is loud.

Quick note for writers - especially (but not exclusively) newer writers, as well as other folks in the field, including readers who are out and about - Please take good care of yourself. Importantly: Not everyone has your best interest in mind. It is okay to say NO - to walk away -

Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
