This digitally painted piece honors the survivor spirit of the coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our landscapes today. Below the horizon, carefully chosen ancestors mark pivotal moments in adaptation, each contributing to the form and survivor we see today. Above the horizon, Coyote stands alert at the center, framed by both Denver’s skyline and a mountain backdrop, symbols of their ability to thrive in cities as well as wilderness. Embedded in the ground are the skulls and bones of carnivores whose lineages ended long ago, emphasizing Coyote’s persistence in contrast.

A black and white photo of a baseball game, you can see that it is mid pitch with a pirate at bat
Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect

I implore folks to learn what necro-politics is, because that's where the global far-right is at ideologically about now.
These people legit just get to choose whether people live or die or whose life matters most.

The WaPa headline says: 60,000 Gazans were killed. 18,500 of them were children. These are some of their names.
Then follows an enormous list of small print names
Thousands of small print names interspersed with some photos of some of the child victims
NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
The Washington Post has just published every single known name.
A seminal moment.

I can confirm the PBS Passport is a very good deal for $5/month or $2.50/month if you do yearly.
Thousands of hours of top notch content. NOVA is great. The new Ken Burns doc on Leonardo da Vinci is excellent.

Added more to my thread yesterday about novels being sustained by a series of questions!
I thought this context could be important bc process doesn’t work universally. I’ve learned other methods that I think came from writers grounded in plot/character/whatever. I’m mostly grounded in theme!

HELLO EVERYONE this is your notification that I have a story out!! It's about a little child and her tiger nanny. Jen has summarized it beautifully (thanks Jen!!). The only thing I'd add is: please hold this story with care, and above all, hold yourself and the children in your life with care. 💜

The nation's fifth most populous county, San Diego, just chose its political future today—and appears to have chosen to have a Democratic local government—and it's crickets everywhere. Quite the eye-popping example of the NY/East-Coast-bias of how elections get covered.

ICE agents scatter as SD Bishop Pham, other clergy visit immigration court
"Our presence made a difference," one priest said, quoting an immigration lawyer saying their client was given more time to prepare for another hearing.
Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago.
Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away”

Have a little clip of me reading from my Nebula & Sturgeon Award winning short story, TANTIE MERLE AND THE FARMHAND 4200, which is about an old woman, a robot & a goat--
--but also about personhood, acceptance, community & labor rights.
