Glad the NYTimes wrote this feature. Sorry I got no responses when I posted 9 months ago. But that's nothing compared to how sorry I am that so few people listened to what Barsook had to say 25 years ago.

You go, @bradlander.bsky.social

But Elissa Slotkin was all positive over Ronald Reagan when she rebutted - what was it, the State of the Union speech, so not the same thing

I am charmed beyond words

completely outside of politics, this is so charming

How do I follow Joyce Carol Oates on X without being on X?

what other fascist white nationalist bigot will jump in to endo…

My quality of life has been vastly improved by using linen tea towels to dry dishes, fruits, and vegetables.

Aah, that felt good. It was only a free account, but still, glad to get outa there.

It’s like a double humiliation when I and mine are accused of antisemitism. Like these people talk out of both sides of their mouths. Onoh saying Jews are evil. On the other thinking we’re stupid enuf to believe that stuff.

So heartening

Joking in your Young Republican group chat about the mass murder of 6 million people who'd been scapegoated for decades as morally degenerate ethnic/religious outsiders is just locker room talk. Speaking lightly of the murder of Charlie Kirk to your 400 friends on Facebook is a fireable offense.

This is a whole sermon here:

“We have been more defeated by narrative than we have been defeated in the courts.”

Meaning by "the one you list," a title that's listed on their database?

Will submit, but I'm not clear whether I should submit every ISBN for every title (different ones for mass, trade, ebook, etc). If nobody's clear on this, I'll certainly take the time & list all the ISBNs (for me, unlike so many of you romancelandia schtarkers, not really so many, lol)

kim stanley robinson has a bit somewhere in one of his interviews where he says he's a democrat in the short run, a socialist in the medium run, and an anarchist in the long run

If Tonda was in yr life & u you cared about her, & if u're in the BayArea, do consider going 2 give her a last dose of love. Can't lie, I was a bit scared, but the community of love & care around her is wonderful 2 experience. Let yourself b a loving co-conspirator by breathing with her 1 last time.

I went 2 see her later. Not sure she recognized me (tho there WAS 1 smile at an opportune moment), it's beautiful & moving to be w/ her - & her fam, by birth & choice. Caregivers r doing a great job; she seems very comfortable. & OF COURSE she's wearing a hot black lace trimmed nightie.

“Overdetermined,” I believe, is the relevant term here.

Wow, do you know what community they come from? Lubovovicher, for example?

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

And that would be Gavin Newsom.

That would be California.

Following the recent words of our governor: "“The best way to honor Charlie [Kirk]'s memory is to continue his work..." Nice job, Cal, and so soon.

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

Yes, all that.

It's the best

Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.
