The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books.
Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable.

NEW: We filed a brief asking a Texas appeals court to prevent the state's execution of Cedric Ricks.
Prosecutors in Cedric's case unfairly struck Black jurors, leading to a nearly all white jury in a county that is less than 50% white, in a case strongly influenced by racial bias.
There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

Today I'm discussing @sgj.bsky.social horror story "The Night Cyclist" with my class. I'm rereading it prior to class. Slow, delightful process bc every paragraph has a lovely use of craft I want to point out to them. What a gorgeously woven piece. reactormag.com/the-night-cy...

Today is Patreon story day! And my weird little escapist sf adventures probably aren't for everyone.
But 1,300+ people seem pretty happy they joined.

For those who want to start at the beginning: SETTLERS OF THE STORM WORLDS. Weird little witch kids in a wooden RV chasing hurricanes into strange new worlds. Possibly also #sexychickens.
It's been a long time coming. Canadian independent bookstores have banded together to create an online book buying source so you can avoid the behemoth in the room. (Here are the titles published by CMU Press, which I run.)
Spread the word #booksky!

'In Gaza, suffering grows harsher each day. As many relief organizations are prevented from reaching families in need, securing food has become a daily struggle, especially during Ramadan.
Just $80 can provide a complete food basket.

Sadly, no. I consider it too risky to enter the US atm.
