“1 family. 2 news networks. And a president who treats mergers like loyalty tests with no regard for the public.”

No plans to yet… maybe I should examine my schedule though!

Excuse me while I vomit

If anyone wants an example of the kind of stuff I wish more Democrats would do when it comes to defending trans rights, look no further than this from @jayapal.house.gov

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Still looking for this; if anyone has a copy I'd love to chat

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.

Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

Not sure if I'm here that week or in NYC... I'll figure it out soon though and let you know!

My short story “We Are Sorry For Your Suffering” - a sci-fi epistolary tale about the end of the world - is the December issue of @onestorymag.bsky.social! Read an excerpt and an interview with me (and/or order a copy!) here. It’s surprisingly hopeful! one-story.com/product/we-a...

I did NOT get today's NYT Connections right, and I've been apoplectic all day long

I've been busy--did I miss this?

😍 thank you! Hope you’re having an amazing holiday season.

Further proof that no one on earth is as snowflake-sensitive and reactionary as a right-winger.

I got myself one of those recently. No reason, and I have no one to give me presents (or maybe that's the reason). Of course it's nearly gone already

Congrats @rabihalameddine.bsky.social!! His books are phenomenal--so excited to read the new one. And check out his BlueSky if you haven't already; it's without question one of THE reasons to remain on this site.
