hey bub, why don’t you make like a tree and grow deep, stable roots that’ll nourish and sustain you for years to come

Everyone should know that I bought a new notebook to organize the characters and plot of the novel I've been pantsing for 10 years.

So, you know, my life is going to officially change as of today. 😏

Infographic titled “Republican Ecosystem.” Four large curved arrows form a clockwise loop: Donors at the top (magenta), Campaigns on the right (gold), Advocacy Media at the bottom (blue-purple), and Activists on the left (sage green). Each arrow feeds the next, depicting a self-reinforcing cycle. From the Campaigns segment, a smaller gold arrow points outward to a label “Mainstream Media” beside a purple color swatch, indicating spillover influence on non-partisan outlets. Credit “Matthew Sheffield, flux.community” appears at bottom left.

Infographic titled “Democratic Ecosystem.” Three large curved arrows form a clockwise loop: Donors at the top (magenta), Campaigns on the right (gold), and Activists on the left (sage green). Together they create an incomplete circle with a visible gap at the bottom. A small blue square labeled Advocacy Media sits outside the loop, connected by a thin arrow from Activists, showing weak integration. To the right, a large blue box labeled Mainstream Media represents the dominant external media sphere. Credit at lower left reads “Matthew Sheffield, flux.community.” The design contrasts with the “Republican Ecosystem” version by emphasizing the Democratic side’s weaker feedback loop between activists, donors, and media.

Since Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidates and "dark money" groups have raised more money than Republicans--often doubling them.

So much of the Dem money is wasted. Publishing a piece on this Sunday explaining these graphs and much more. I need your help to make the piece viral. Thanks!

Breakfast is the treat for getting up early. Dinner is the treat for voting 😉

Now I'm getting conflicting reports about whether the Rapture will be on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, and, look, I know that TECHNICALLY no man knows the hour of His coming and all, but if we could actually pin this down on the schedule it'll help me plan the rest of my week, thanks

Our book of the week is HEKATE by @nikitagill.bsky.social! This marvelous novel told in verse illuminates Hekate, the Greek Goddess of magic, witchcraft, and necromancy. We read an advanced copy and loved it! We can't wait to hear what you all think about it. 🤍

Once again it’s not that conservatives deny the existence of racism, they merely deny the existence of racism against minorities.

Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

I think I'm going to do an October re-read. There's so much to absorb in it!

I'm the editor and cover art PM (artist TabGraphix) for this delightful children's chapter book.
