Scion by Thomas Ha Clarkesworld Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine and Podcast.

Hey there. Latest story, now out, "Scion." Strangeness. Estrangement. And the history that gets lost in between. A son and father in a moving house. Deranged relatives at cross-purposes. A community fleeing a murderous intruder. A crumbling lunar colony in revolt. Hope folks enjoy. Twisty one.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Trans rights are human rights. ICE should be abolished. The president is a sex offender and formalizing turning the US into a fascist state. Ukraine and Palestine both deserve our support and political will. The climate crisis and biodiversity crises are real. Musk = asshole. Did I forget anything?

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

Rojava’s Experiment in Revolutionary Autonomy Is Facing Its Greatest Threat Yet β€œWith the ceasefire there is always the danger that the solidarity stops,” a member of the Rojava commune said.

Latest from me: I talk with people in Rojava and in the U.S. how we can support the democratic confederalist experiment at one of the most serious moments in it's history. They need our solidarity now.

Reese’s grandson accuses Hershey of degrading chocolate, making it β€˜not edible.’ Is he right? H.B. Reese spent two years at Hershey before leaving to form his own company and inventing Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in 1928. His grandson says Reese's is ruining that legacy by cutting corners.

Truly the hero we need.

H.B. Reese is waging a one-man war on Hershey’s for ruining his grandfather’s legacy (and his Peanut Butter Eggs) 🍫

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t.

I'm tired of the lesser evil. These hoes wanna live in Omelas or something? Can't we just have a good candidate who doesn't have a forsaken basement child to prop them up? I just want someone who doesn't chum up to types like Charlie Kirkn't, and wants people to be able to live somewhere.

Nothing that can help regular people is possible. Everything that can hurt regular people is easy to do. This is basically how most politicians act right now.

Nick Fuentes Wants Women in β€œGulags.” Here’s Why That Matters. "Gender has always been an important throughline of fascist politics," says Shane Burley.

I talked with my friend @shaneburley.bsky.social about Nick Fuentes' recent rant about putting women in gulags. How seriously should we take Fuentes, culturally and politically? And what does rhetoric like this reveal about the broader trajectory of the movement he’s trying to shape? We get into it.
