How a Travel YouTuber Captured Nepal’s Revolution for the World Harry Jackson went into Kathmandu as a tourist. He ended up being one of the main international sources of news on Nepal’s Gen Z protests.

I dont particularly like my writing but I'm proud of this piece. Was going to use this as the first entry for my relaunched newsletter but had a chance to get it in Wired and I took it.

Just referred to someone as “a trilby-dicked loser” and honestly, it’s the first time in awhile I’ve felt so alive.

Do y’all know about my friend @slackmistress.bsky.social’s book, The Crone Zone? It’s out now! And it’s 100% Cosmo-approved. amzn.to/46akvT4

Democrats Will Regret Not Stripping Trump’s Dangerous War Powers Biden and Congress squandered a chance to end the legal underpinnings of the forever war. The president-elect will once again reap the powers afforded to him.

The global war on terror set legal precedent for torture, abduction and assassination of those deemed terrorists.

I was prepared for the Nazis to be terrible, but I wasn’t expecting them to be straight-up *dorks.*

“Artists, writers and musicians should go on strike until Kimmel is back!”

Hey you know how you love making grocery lists with ChatGPT and ask it decorate your house? It ate all our money and jobs so we don’t actually have anything to strike on.

I hope that everyone is having the day they deserve! 💙💙💙

The art is all @pamwishbow.bsky.social ! She’s a GENIUS.

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

If you’re around Elliott Bay Book Co maybe I hid some stickers in the book I recently illustrated that came out today.

It’s here! @slackmistress.bsky.social book The Crone Zone is out now. Cosmo-approved.

This is worth twelve satires.

Cover of Nina Bargiel’s book “The Crone Zone” featuring witchy herbs, skulls , a cauldron, mushrooms, a candle and other illustrations.

I just started @slackmistress.bsky.social ‘s The Crone Zone and I love it. Highly recommend. Bought it on a whim and do not regret. Favorite quote so far: “It’s like a Voltron of caretaking expectations.”

💙💙💙💙

The announcement is just gonna be “it’s illegal now to say I’m dead”

Also if you do author events for a Chicago-area bookseller please holler at me or Nina, I get the sense she’s having a hard time getting event support from her publisher just because they laid off all their junior marketing and publicity staff

Foreward Reviews calls The Crone Zone "a celebratory self-help guide about the wisdom, freedom, and fun of old age." A NetGalley Reviewer calls it riddled with f-bombs. Both are true! Available for preorder now or everywhere on TUESDAY! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

@slackmistress.bsky.social remains one of the funniest and smartest people on the internet. If you're living outside America, you can get THE CRONE ZONE through Blackwell's.

I was looking for the link to my book for preorders (THE CRONE ZONE! September 2!) and came across a early review (???) that complained about the liberal use of “fuck.” MY MOM WILL BE SO PROUD! @quirkbooks.bsky.social

While you were on Bluesky, I was studying the blade.

I was a teenager in the early aughts, and it felt out-of-step with so much mainstream opinion to speak out against war. What is happening now is cruel and sad and wrong, and you don't have to let anyone make you feel bad for thinking and saying so.

Nothing says I’m dating a journalist than calling your partner and he answers “can’t talk, we’re bombing Iran.”

Trump says US bombed 3 nuclear sites in Iran President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the U.S. launched strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran.

The US carried out airstrikes on 3 sites in Iran, Trump announced Saturday night. Updating story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/trump-i...

As faith leaders have a crowd take a knee and pray outside the federal building, DHS officers raise their weapons at priests and National Guard members lineup with riot shields against them tonight in downtown L.A.
