getting angry

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

It’s National Margarita Day. Here are some pics of my dog, Margarita.

Old pixel art for a school assignment ⭐ the Wishing Star. #Art #Illustration #OC #OCsky #Artsky

Similarly, read comics before trying to write a book or a short story. Master classes in dialogue, among other skills.

One of the greatest moments in hockey history. Up there with Bobby Orr.

Here's a copy of the email being sent to federal employees. In case anyone is wondering, the sender is [email protected]. Do with that what you will.

Seems like a good time for us all to send emails to [email protected] to let them know what we've been working on.

This is the kind of bullshit middle management does to make it look like they did something this week. If you’re in a position of authority over other workers, and YOU don’t know what they’re doing or why it matters, then YOU’RE the useless one.

Write the book you want to read. Chasing what you think others want leads to less joy in the process and, usually, a lesser product.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

Related: never forget.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

The wild part is that it WILL hit them. Look at all the non-Black women who are suddenly out of a job. The damage they think is reserved for us (that we are “strong enough” to bear”) isn’t reserved JUST for us. If you are not a cishet, “able-bodied” white man, you’re on the chopping block too babe

If you see this, share a skeleton.

I must have talked to half a dozen white political reporters over the years who have said "You're wrong! It's not like that! I have relatives who voted for Trump and..." and then they go blank, like they're buffering or something. It is, every single time, a you're-so-close-to-getting-it moment.

More books for Authorcon arrived today! (The dachshund was already here.)

Would.

IN CHURCH MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM AT RETIREMENT PARTY Me: Did you see that pic of Jesus that looks like he got a DUI? Religious cousin: You can't say that in church. Me: It's a pic of white Jesus so it's fine, actually RC: Show me Me: *shows* RC: *laughing* Man, that's a guy named Brad or something

would be a great day to support a bookstore & small press online :)

Well that’s a mistrial, ok you gotta let Luigi go free

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

For any military member who is willing to abandon their oath to this nation and bend the knee to a tyrant, please understand that there are thousands of us who will make it our mission in life to make sure you never have a day of peace for the remainder of your time on this earth

My husband and I saw the Oscar nominated animated shorts today and this was the rare year where any of the nominees could win and I would be happy. That said, my favorite was the weird and unsettling WANDER AND WONDER.

We arguably have an even more storied Nazi problem than punks do but "Nazi classical music fans fuck off" just doesn't roll off the tongue

Remembered this: Adolf Hitler was such a huge fan of a series of Harry Potter-tier cowboy books for children (written by a German who falsely claimed they were autobiography) that he made them required reading for top brass. If they weren't terrified of him they'd have told him to Read Another Book

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

One more week for our BIPOC-only short story collection call! We haven't received many submissions yet, and we'd love to read yours. If you've been going back and forth about submitting because you're not sure your book will be a good fit, send it in anyway: cursedmorsels.com/submission-c...

I have a lot of new followers that are following Lakota Man. Please block him and uplift legit Indigenous voices - there are Bsky feeds out there (Indigisky, indigiskeeters) that have some amazing Indigenous voices and perspectives to learn from. This guy isn't it.

A reply, now deleted, asked if I mean we deserve it. I don't truck in judgements like that. I will say, most settlers refuse to meaningfully engage with, let alone acknowledge, our country's genocidal foundations & their ongoing legacy. Where might such wilful ignorance lead, I wonder *stares at 🇺🇸*

Simple effective measures.

We’re creating a list of deals and special offers for District residents impacted by the recent federal layoffs — from discounted drinks to free headshots and career coaching. Help us build this community resource by adding to the list, here: airtable.com/appl7lWf605d...

I could see myself dying similarly (but without the cult leadership).

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

This. When I travel abroad, I buy and write the postcards there, then send them when I get home so they'll arrive sometime within the same month that I've sent them.

Laura Ingraham threw a Nazi salute at the RNC in 2016. This is who they’ve been for ages and why I don’t believe there are any “good Republicans” at this point.
