GEMINI. your prehistoric lover is an IMMORTAL LOBSTER

(But also, his book for next year, We Burned So Bright is previewed on his Instagram!)

Tj originally self-published TBBMS, and Tor is re-releasing his back catalogue. You're not wrong, though, he is insanely prolific. After years of cranking out 3-4 QUALITY books per year, he said at his Minneapolis reading for Bones that he's gonna slow his roll a little, lol.

I've loved this book forever and literally shrieked when I saw that you'd posted this! So, so cool. 💗

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. - Anne Frank

In Minnesota, freedom is a birthright.

Might save a life.

The arc of the universe is way too long, which is why we invented guillotines.

THE COMMITTEE WEIGHS IN I tell my mother I've won the Nobel Prize. Again? she says. Which discipline this time? It's a little game we play: I pretend I'm somebody, she pretends she isn't dead.

I love this devastating piece from Andrea Cohen.

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

defy the norm. get even stranger. NO SURRENDER

TO THE YOUNG WHO WANT TO DIE Sit down. Inhale. Exhale. The gun will wait. The lake will wait. The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait: will wait a week: will wait through April. You do not have to die this certain day. Death will abide, will pamper your postponement. I assure you death will wait. Death has a lot of time. Death can attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is just down the street; is most obliging neighbor; can meet you any moment. You need not die today. Stay here - through pout or pain or peskyness. Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow. Graves grow no green that you can use. Remember, green's your color. You are Spring.

On the days I am about to give up, this Gwendolyn Brooks poem gives me an anchor.

Oops 😬

As the forces of hatred are on the march, my promise is this:

Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

Happy:
Black history
Black present
Black future
Black love
Black joy
Black health
Black healing
Black people
Black community
Black family
Black kids
Black culture
Black creativity
Black ingenuity
Black legacy

Black liberation
Black resistance

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

CONGRATULATIONS!!! 💗

A drawing that looks like overlapping ribbons around a rose that says: Everything we can save is worth saving. -Rebecca Solnit

One of my absolute favorite things is: Great Horned Owls 🦉 In the evenings I walk my dogs, and their hoot hoot hooots just … calm me.

Today one swooped in front of my car, landed on a branch, and looked straight at me.

As Rebecca Solnit says: “Everything we can save is worth saving”

Do we laugh? Do we cry?! #Yes

Given The Horrors, it seems the right time to post this again.

Stay safe. Keep fighting. You deserve to live just as much as anyone else.

No matter their race, creed, ethnicity, or immigration status, your neighbors are not - and never have been - your enemy.

The villains in the American story have always been the wealthy and powerful interests seeking to turn you against your neighbor in order to maintain their place at the top.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

I love queerness. I love instant ease with a stranger. I love how we find each other, how we pocket together.

And these miserable fucks won’t kill our joy. They’ve tried to salt the grounds of hope and look how it blooms. It blooms every fucking time no matter what they do.
