Hey, I know a lot of us feel like the Minnesota assassinations/attempts have been forgotten. They’re not, they’re just in a quiet phase for the good of the victims, their survivors, and the case.

The suspect is in custody, is not getting bail, and will be prosecuted. Two things are happening —

Bombshell records expose political plot to oust rural Georgia librarian over LGBTQ+ book Behind the scenes, Pierce County officials shared conservative social media posts and strategized LaVonnia Moore’s removal after she displayed a book about a trans child at the public library.

Complaints about Moore, all from June 18, were forceful, religiously charged, and filled with anti-trans talking points circulated in right-wing circles.

They didn't say having a car. They said hanging out of someone else's ride while trying to pick them up. Totally different. Nowadays, they might view that as environmentally wise? lol

Have you read Lost Ark Dreaming by Suyi Davies Okungbowa? It's one of my favorite reads of 2025 & a great climate fiction read.

Infinity Nikki is such a pretty game. Missed playing it while in the hospital.

3 books currently: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer, Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan, and Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett.

It is frustrating to me that (a) the word "alpha" came out of studies on wolves in skewed situations, (b) the word was used to designate leaders, but (c) is now just being used to describe assholes who couldn't lead a group of lemmings out of a paper bag.

a screenshot of ChiChi, pastel, and caberhook on the front page of twitch during their panel titled "What makes a good game accessible?". The title of the stream by twitch says "Join ChiChi in celebrating Disability Pride!"

I definitely signed. It's wild Wheel of Time is even on the chopping block especially given all the praise.

This isn't a movie or a soap opera or a badly written serial. No one is coming to rescue us. There won't be a surprise super hero stepping out of a phone booth to save us. Except for . . .You.
Us. Put on your capes and get to work.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York's governor refuses extradition request for doctor charged with prescribing abortion pills to Louisiana minor.

Omg this sounds adorable. Videos and/or pics afterwards for us fellow book lovers with book loving spouses?

FYI: You might know me as any number of things, but one of the things I am is a YouTuber who has been running a yearly charity event since 2007. That’s going to become apparent on my bsky feed over the next four or five days.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races.

This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

I have no idea how much they’ll be able to get away with in terms of messing with vaccines, but I will say it’s never a bad idea to be proactive about getting up to date on all your vaccinations!

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

I wish all people who voted for RFK as Secretary of Health and Human Services a very rabies

NO LGB WITHOUT THE T

AI probably uses em dashes because of all the books and professional level writing contained therein, so people who aren’t skilled writers are like “j’accuse!” — at the very people whose expertise was stolen in the first place

Ending voting for women is a core part of the Evangelical plan for the country. They have even considered implementing “household” voting where each family only casts one vote (and we know who decides). This is the first step.

IIRC when the term first appeared people said Romantasy is more Romance focused w/ less world-building vs Fantasy Romance where there's obviously still a big Romance element yet focuses on the world-building a lot. Then everything started getting called Romantasy even if authors said it wasn't. . .

Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.
