Let's fuckin' goooo

Awaiting imminent delivery of preordered books by @amalelmohtar.com and @scalzi.com. Have set calendar reminders to preorder (and library request) books by @judedoyle.bsky.social, @sarahgailey.bsky.social, and @cheriepriest.com. Love you all (and please forgive me if I repeat myself).

I really miss these boys.

Yeah. If anyone needs me, I'll be sitting at the bottom of a swimming pool for the next ten thousand years.

Love to see a 30-degree temperature swing in the forecast that peaks at 23 degrees Fahrenheit.

"This is where things get dangerous. True despair is not just sadness or fear. It's the lack of a framework to help you make sense of the adversity and sorrow you experience, an inability to situate your struggle in some wider context." Read this – and please stay with us. 🩵

When the government shuts down avenues for worker justice...you're going to find out exactly how far workers are willing to go to defend themselves and their comrades.

Skyline cleanse.

"Since GlomarResponder was first created in 2012, the account has posted hateful, xenophobic, and pro-fascist content." Jesus fucking Christ. Some exquisitely horrific reporting. Bravo, @stevanzetti.bsky.social and @kylebazgo.bsky.social. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

TFW you have to take Koschei the Deathless in for a distemper shot.

Five years ago today, I was reading SPACE OPERA by @catvalente.bsky.social and this happened.

Plenty of room for alt-text, so here you go. This exchange is between U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes and Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney Jason Lynch. #Talbott #TransRights

This nation hasn't done its shadow work and it shows.

I don't get personal on main very often, but I spent a few hours writing this, and I want you to read it. It's about my dad and my stepmom, and me, and Stranger Things, and what's happening to the VA right now. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-dep...

The only thing I have to say about Politico is Wisconsin 1848. @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social from 2012: inthesetimes.com/article/what...

For our free February post, we have @nicolefroio.bsky.social's analysis of Bad Bunny's latest album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS”, a meditation on loss and paradise that is bringing decolonial politics to the mainstream global stage during a time of fascism.

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.” Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

Progress is possible: I spent half of 2024 in a depressive spiral during which I filled three bookshelves with RPG sourcebooks and other crowd-funded tabletop games. 2025 is shaping up to be all-in on recurring donations (abortion funds, local/mutual aid), indie art, and newsletter subscriptions.

The kids are alright.

Teach this thread in school.

A fun day for memories: last year, Amélie and Pantera. Six years ago, 30 Americans and Edem Soul Music. Seven years ago, basement wall anchors and cleats. In 2017, John Wick. Ten years ago, LFK and KCMO. The year before: coffee at the site of our first date. And of course: happy anniversary, love.
