The Artist Who Reminds Us that Another Way Is Possible The late artist Abigail McGrath cultivated a creative life for herself filled with freedom, joy, and a commitment to beauty. In an age of authoritarianism and algorithms, it’s a kind of life worth pro...

You all MUST READ this piece by Kaitlyn Greenidge about the power of art to “exist outside of a tech lord’s algorithm.”

This is the importance of buying the books we write and teach from university presses. The same administrations that don’t care about the humanities would be just as happy to have academic publishing handled by these companies. We can save our own publishing ecosystem- but we have to do it.

I loved this series! Was sad it ended on a cliffhanger

I'm really excited about this episode, Stardusts! It is a continuation of an awesome conversation catalyzed by the incredible @chanda.blacksky.app that began IRL at the STLV TREKtivism panel. We talk about how The #StarTrek future is fundamentally incompatible with capitalism.

TrekTivism: Socialism, Star Trek, and Space with Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein During the TREKtivism panel at STLV (Trek to Las Vegas), Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein raised the point that "Capitalism doesn't exist in the Federation. And we can't volunteer and fundraise ourself ou...

Anyway if you want to listen to something optimistic, there’s a new episode of @trektivism.bsky.social where I talk about why everyone should read The Communist Manifesto, especially Trekkies! #StarTrek

I just started this show for the first time. People have recommended it to me for years. I'm halfway through the first season. It's already getting wild. David Warner beating people with a staff. I'm here for it.

"Robo Cimone" started as a Halloween costume in Uni but lived on to make appearances at other events on campus. I spent 80 dollars in material to save 2 dollars on the campus Halloween party if you showed up in costume. The battery back was 25lbs lol. Still my fav costume. 🤖

An update to the "Two ways that I explore the Universe" post with a new ride in front of the SFU #TrottierObservatory. Beats the bus (I still support mass transit infrastructure).

No Kings protester with an NSPM-7 sign (!)

Millions turned out for anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests across US The demonstrations against the US president - which Republicans had called "hate-America rallies" - were boisterous but peaceful.

Bad Indians Book Club: Reading at the Edge of a Thousand Worlds In this powerful reframing of the stories that make us, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec leads us into the borderlands of history, science, memoir, and fiction to ask: What worlds do books written by marginalized people describe and invite us to inhabit? When a friend asked what books could help them understand Indigenous lives, Patty Krawec, author of Becoming Kin, gave them a list. This list became a book club and then a podcast about a year of Indigenous reading, and then this book. The writers in Bad Indians Book Club refuse to let dominant stories displace their own and resist the way wemitigoozhiwag--European settlers--craft the prevailing narrative and decide who they are.

It is absolutely vital that we read books & stories from cultures & communities not our own, but while we're retraining our brains to read/think with real depth, we might want to rethink HOW we read those other stories. Bad Indians Book Club explores that exact space...

I had a dream last night that was animated. I've never experienced that before. The style was specific as well - similar to the style from Invincible. Anybody recall having a dream with a particular art style? Brains are amazing.

Atheist proselytizers are the religious proselytizers I’m most likely to come into contact with and they’re just as annoying as all of the other ones I experience

See you there!

Or at least responsible!!!!!

I hear Kristie Noem has arrested the girlfriend of the founder of Antifa. Was she in Canada? (Little shout out to Avenue Q but I digress).

Since it was a movement founded in 1920 to combat fascism I rather doubt this claim unless Kristie was using a Ouija Board.

I was well over 30 when I wrote and published my first novel, and fully agree with you!
