My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books

A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

Genuinely crying at the idea of a politician who will represent me loudly advocating for my safety. trans people deserve this, we all do.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

As a born and bred new yorker, I knew the answer before you even responded, and that knowledge of my city's culture and my anti-establishment ethos is what will make me an ideal candidate against the status-quo politicians

What do technofeudalism, Chinese restaurants, and struggling game platform itch.io have in common? @newmadras.bsky.social has some thoughts, especially about the "platform" part.

Itch.io isn’t like other platforms

It’s like a 3.5 star Chinese restaurant.

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.

ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

No real spoilers, just my sense of how Mulligan's workflow and an expanded cast meets Critical Role's signature style -- what I think are the strengths of that collaboration, and the potential weak points I am keeping an eye on.

Wow, this makes me so happy to see. Brennan absolutely walks the walk of the politics he presents in his fiction, and I wish more people with platforms his size could say the same

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
