Listening to Patreon show @3legs4wheels.com...as an American, I feel like @kierenisboring.bsky.social is always making things up. Like who goes to Cornwall for Christmas?

Is that really a British thing people do?

Crown Royal bags are great for storing notecards and Sharpies

Bolt cutter man?

Umberto Eco's notorious postscript of "The Name of the Rose" was “I felt like poisoning a monk.”

@sarahgailey.bsky.social wrote "Spread Me" because she felt like screwing a virus.

This book takes you places you can never have imagined

That is a deepcut of deepcuts.

@neuvel.net has a whole trilogy of books "Take them to the Stars" which has a song for each and every chapter. And the playlists are on Spotify. Fun to queue up a song for each chapter

Check your drains? Did a trap dry out or something break or get disconnected? You said you have construction in the building, that can stress plumbing to break in other parts of the building.

Prague is magnificent! Hope you get to see the Soviet Union supplied aircraft at the Air Force museum.

Sorry @pazsays.bsky.social, those crazy Amazon algorithms were too much to resist. I know what I'm doing this weekend...

we have both computers and science fiction because Byron was so insufferable it inspired all the women around him to come up with elaborate reasons to get away

Okay. The people have spoken.

For every reskeet this gets, I will post a random picture from my camera roll with no explanation (other than alt text).

Let the games begin.

First full shelf. Need to order more…

the wavy, ombréed purply-pinky greeny orangey cover of We Will Rise Again with text: "B&N Rewards & Premium Members get 25% off when you pre-order online at Barnes & Noble July 8-11"

I am so excited for this book that I co-edited with @drkarenlord.bsky.social and @annaleen.bsky.social and featuring speculative stories about collective action from incredible writers, plus essays and interviews with activists - if you're excited too, now is a great time to pre-order!

The lighting bugs are out!

People outside tech starting to realize how quality software and typing/generating code fast are not correlated

It's Passover, and you can not stream "The Ten Commandments" on ANY streaming service. Truly a breakdown of late stage capitalism.

I love pre-ordering books, they just appear on your doorstep like magic, after you forgot you ordered them.

Can't wait to read the newest from @adapalmer.bsky.social and @amalelmohtar.com !

Women's Sports Happened By Accident, And Could Be Taken Apart On Purpose | Defector It’s Monday night, and I check my local TV listings to see what women’s college basketball games are on. I make a note to catch all the big women’s college gymnastics meets coming up on Friday. I duti...

Wrote about the strange events that made the U.S. a super power in women’s sports—and why that could all too easily be undone by this administration.

1000% this. Public libraries are actually pretty radical--free to all, and based on the idea that info should be available to all. Get a library card! Use your library! Those numbers often play into their funding.

Spent the morning shoveling snow with my kid. We talked about how--because the world is increasingly stupid, unkind, and selfish--we need to work hard at being curious, kind, and helpful to others. Even if we're just starting with shoveling the walk for our community.

I had a walk today and thought about the relationship between civility, discomfort, and abuse.

Some of you know that “civility” is one of my hard “ugh” triggers. This thread will explain why.

Please do not lose the ability to identify bullshit when you see it. There is enormous pressure right now to pretend bullshit is not bullshit, and that pressure will only increase with each passing day. Please fight that, if only in your own mind, so you do not deceive yourself.
