This has been a good year of immersing myself in Ojibwe stories, and we're going to circle back to stories of creation and flood in 2026 by spending some time with the idea of earth divers, with wondering instead of answering.

For a wonderous moment in the movie Sinners, the people dance outside of linear time, enfolded by the freedom of an endless now. Sammie is playing at Club Juke and through his music dancers and musici...

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.

This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.

A thread on how to do that 🧵

I’m exhausted by the harsh life here😭🚨

There're no basic needs for a dignified life💔
no shelter, no medicine, no clean water, no healthy food, no safety, no warmth 🥶

I need your support just to remain alive at least😔

Please, if you can, contribute🙏🏻

Reading multiple books at the same time creates all sorts of wonderful connections between them that you might otherwise not have caught. Another thing I do is read fiction written from the same community as the political theory I'm reading, particularly if I am unfamiliar with that community

In @strangehorizons.bsky.social 's Year in Review, Part 2, I tell you about what I thought was fun in 2025.
Jacqueline Nyathi Esperance cover223 books in 2025 (the year isn’t over), but I wasn’t on top of things, and blame the person who persuaded me it was ok to read more than one book at a time. I think, though, this in Bad Indians Book Club by Patty Krawec (still unfinished) vindicates me: “[L]ayering fiction with non-fiction, or setting conversational books alongside more academic material … [p]uts the books into conversation with each other, which leads to new ideas or ways of understanding the topics, other ways of reading and understanding familiar texts.” I always gravitate toward hard SF but I enjoyed SFF in general (excellent collections from Thomas Ha, Vanessa Fogg, Carla E. Dash, Gareth Powell, two Blaft anthologies, the Nebula Awards Showcase 60, the Year’s Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction, Volume 2, and novels from JP Nebra and Jane Mondrup). In translated fiction, I recommend All That Dies in April by Mariana Travacio (tr. Samantha Schnee and Will Morningstar) and Río Muerto by Ricardo Silva Romero (tr. Victor Meadowcraft). I found non-fiction essay collections compelling (Jamaica Kincaid, Lavinia Greenlaw’s The Vast Extent, Trace Press’s River in an Ocean). Other favourite non-fiction: How to Kill a Witch by Zoe Venditozzi and Claire Mitchell (read it!), Decolonizing Language and Other Revolutionary Ideas by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, The Two Princes of Mpfumo by Lindsay O’Neill, Moshtari Hilal’s Ugliness, Kate Loveman’s The Strange History of Samuel Pepys’s Diary, and Howard W. French’s The Second Emancipation. In African lit I loved Oyinkan Braithwaite’s Cursed Daughters, Adam Oyebanji’s Esperance, Will This Be A Problem? Issue V, Chido Muchemwa’s Who Will Bury You? And Other Stories, and enjoyed the ZamaShort series. And the book that made me cackle is Richard Martin’s I Inherited a Mixed Animal from Uncle Living in Woods. ...

Ok, seeing my book with Richard Wagamese-ba's work on either side of it is pretty amazing. And she does look like she wants to burn it all down to embers doesn't she.

Went to an actual, physical book store today!

And yes, I bought 2 (more) copies of Embers by Richard Wagamese… 1 for me, 1 to gift.

For the record, I’ve bought about 7 copies of this book now because I keep giving them away! ❤️

One reason I favor impeaching Noem is because it's a political process for a political problem. No, this will not stop ICE enforcement action but YES it would be an opportunity to educate the public about DHS & perhaps begin to lay a foundation for dismantling it.

My simple dream is a $200 tent to shelter my kids, Elif, Joan, Jude, Ahmed, and Jamil, and my wife who suffers from a heart valve condition. The rain and wind swept away our tent & flooded it. We urgently appeal to you before it's too late

ICE is no longer arresting immigrants only. They are arresting anyone who films or speaks out. Sending them to concentration camps. I have been criticized for my analogy to 1930’s Germany. That is what we are witnessing.

The January 6 insurrection is the most shameful day because that is the day that people took up arms against the Government.

Unlike slavery, genocide, and other appalling actions because they built this country. They might be regrettable, necessary evils perhaps, but not shameful.

My birthday is coming up next week. I just reviewed some grant criteria for visual art and made tentative plans to exhibit, but my painting panels are unusable.

I have almost everything else in my stash. It would be really nice if you could help me out. ko-fi.com/soniasulaima...

As I was saying.
Hitler's first significant act of territorial aggression was the annexation of Austria in March of 1938. This violated the Treaty of Versailles and the Treaty of Saint-Germain. No one intervened. This emboldened Hitler to pursue further expansionist policies. This is not a post about Hitler. Post from katcentricenigma. Unsure of the platform.

How many countries did Hitler invade before anybody other than those countries stood up to him? Asking for no reason.
