in 2026, let's bring back the concept of "selling out" and once again make it contemptible

I spend so much time thinking about what the world would look like if people actually listened to the trans community.

assuming anyone who ever brags about dna, genes or bloodlines is a goddam freak comes out ahead again

Quilicura, Chile, one of the communities I wrote about in EMPIRE OF AI, has launched a brilliant initiative to inspire more responsible AI prompting. Today, don't use AI; ask the townspeople instead: quili.ai. So heartened to see this creative act of resistance.

Kinda crazy to me that food media has essentially ignored the incredible work that protesters are doing to feed their neighbors in Minnesota, Maine, and beyond

There is no bigger story in food right now than this but yes of course let’s talk about Noma some fucking more

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza.

This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

Come work with me! ✨🔥🖤

Screengrab of a footer purporting to be Celeste Ng (it is NOT). Text reads: "Kind regards, Celeste Celeste Ng #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Author of internationally acclaimed novels Recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship Winner, Amazon Book of the Year Award Website: www.celesteng.com Email: info.celesteng@gmail.com United States" A picture shows an east Asian woman (NOT Celeste Ng) beside a book resembling Everything I Never Told you, a book resembling Little Fires Everywhere, and another copy of Little Fires Everywhere that does not resemble any real copy. Close examination of these covers reveals misspellings and strange design elements that suggest AI generation.

Someone out there is impersonating me using AI generated emails. Please know
I will never email you asking you to pay me for a service. (Also, this is NOT me, that is NOTA my email, and those book covers resemble mine but are clearly AI generated...)

Sesame Street Instagram: Big Bird snuggling a smaller bird. Offering comfort in Scary Times: After a violent event, children of different ages will have different needs. These age based strategies can help them feel safer and more secure.

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

"CBP stays at the border" might sound like a win, but keep in mind that this is what "the border" means to them www.aclumaine.org/know-your-ri...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

SPOKANE & NORTH IDAHO: This is a direct callout. My email is alexandrad@spokesman.com

absolutely phenomenal

oh my god!

Hot damn!!!

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

you’ll never guess what this was in reply to

what the hell kind of american nonsense is this giving a kid a gun like that!
#horrorwatch

oh i got it so it's Uncut Gems meets.. wait what are we doing, what country am i in
#horrorwatch

actually wait no, now it's Sir Lord Jimmy meets Star Wars?
#horrorwatch?

so far this #horrorwatch is promisingly 70s

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

Dems have to vote this down

this might not be the fight you want but this is the fight you have, they’re killing people in the streets and smearing the victims, they are totally out of control

meet the moment because it is coming to meet you whether you like it or not

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

on Shudder now!

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

i owe a lot about my love of folk horror to @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social (and also the cover of my book, from HELLBENDER) so i'm stoked to finally, Finally sit down with their newest film, MOTHER OF FLIES

Also, I'm about to mosey over to Shudder and put on Mother of Flies if you're interested. Won't be posting about it since it's brand new and I don't want to spoil it.
