This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

tonight's burning question. there's a camp skit called something like "I'm Going to Marry the Princess". (see link) I first heard it called "Yon Traveler". has anyone documented where it comes from... or its similarity to the theming of the card game Love Letter? scoutermom.com/4679/marry-t...

An issue with peaceful protests are most americans believe a “peaceful protest” is just holding a sign however, peaceful protests can be super antagonistic, in your face yelling and chest beating. You just can’t throw an actual punch

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

THIS. Also, to just be horrified at the idea of the “Department of Homeland Security”. I literally said the word “Nazis” at the time. People born this century, there didn’t used to be a Department of Homeland Security.

The US Administration has indefinitely blocked all student visa applicants from getting a visa interview. Worldwide, unconditional, no end date. All. International students are crucial to the US university system, American innovation, and future US prosperity.

FMLLLLL you guys reminder: this isn't just about "rich full-tuition undergrads". that isn't the driving force for most institutions' international enrollment. it's about exceptional grad students, many from developing nations, who become skilled researchers while teaching the US's undergrads.

Also reminder to romance authors that we only shoot ourselves in the foot if we try to play the "but we're not porn" game. Those of us who write hot/queer already get clipped on a regular basis, but nothing is "respectable" enough. Your turn WILL come.
