We should take steps to help American nutrition improve, which is why I support a living minimum wage, SNAP, well-funded school lunch programs, an end to food deserts, and serious antitrust actions against huge agriculture ologopolies.

ANYWAY I guess what I wanted to say with ONE MESSAGE REMAINS is that all your life, the people and systems who control you will ask you to turn yourself into a tool or object for their use, and most people, all their lives, can and will say "Yes." This collection asks what happens if you say no.

The feds have set up enddei.ed.gov so anybody can report "DEI" in schools and try to get them segregated. But anybody can submit anything to this portal. You know what to do.

💯 I have news for a lot of people about where those tech companies and news forecasts get their data (they may be using their own expertise/algorithms to interpret the data and thus make predictions, but you can't interpret data that doesn't exist)

Your essential thread of the day. At least 8 of my own books were pirated, bundled with thousands of other pirated works into the Books3 dataset, and used without my consent to train LLMs, so I despise the tech. But beyond being born of theft, it cannot ever fully understand the words it steals.

We all know the iconic “mosquito” in amber from Jurassic Park, but how did such fossils form? In this excerpt from When the Earth Was Green, let me take you back to a time of goop - the Cretaceous Resinous Interval.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

I need to thank everybody, especially @csecooney.bsky.social for sounding the call. I need to thank y'all for the care received, the energy imbued, and every breathtaking kindness. I'm loads better. Still a skeench weak but that's just a matter of getting pie in me. Thank you, sweet heroes.

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

Calling yourself king doesn’t make you king. Having the Ring-bearer carry the crown to the wizard Mithrandir and kneeling while he places it upon your head makes you king.

Fantasy writer friends, check it out! I'm hoh (deaf at times) but I'm awful at signing - aka no useful info to lend. However, I bet many of you know someone who could help out here.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Also one reason it's super frustrating when white folks in blue states joke about cutting the south loose. A lot of people who WON this fight are still down here, y'all. So are the people & organizers they raised. Listening to them should be step one.

Back in April I started a new Elden Ring playthrough ahead of the imminent DLC, with the idea that I'd use photography to document my travels and treat the results with the same respect I would for real places. The first thing I had to do was turn off the HUD 😅 Here's my journey, from the start:
