This is magnificent
I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

A U.S. senator with family roots in Canada and Cuba should really be better informed on how "acquiring new lands" doesnt always work out for the U.S.*

Cruz: "When it comes to Greenland, I want to commend President Trump for being single-mindedly focused on America first... I believe it is overwhelmingly in America's national interest to acquire Greenland... the whole history of America has been a history of acquiring new lands and new territories"

When Fascism came to America, no one crawled on their bellies and kissed the boot more willingly than those who once defiantly shouted "Don't Tread On Me!"

This is a really good read.
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Minneapolis has seemed like a lovely place full of lovely people the few times I’ve been there but man oh man I have cured myself of the notion of thinking about moving there at some point, we are only in day 2 of this cold snap and I want to fucking die

The terror campaign in Minneapolis is almost certainly going to backfire in so many ways but I think one major way is that after it, LA, Chicago, and Charlotte, they’ve blown what shock-and-awe advantage they had and people all over are getting organized on a level they were absolutely not ready for

I think this is absolutely marvelous, and it reaffirms my belief that making something by hand is a joy in itself, on top of the generosity of making something and giving it to someone else.
After probably over a year, mere HOURS before @ktsimpson.bsky.social 's arrival, I have FINISHED the book sleeve I promised her ages ago.
It is not perfect.
But it certainly turned out better than all the times I thought, "well this'll never work."
As happens every time I crochet / sew a thing.

Pardon me if I’m skeptical about the changes made considering that after 7 months of negotiating with MRM they weren’t willing to make more than token changes for me and refused to even discuss the notes I sent them (first run by SFWA, I might add). For the sake of other writers, I hope it’s true.

Nobody knows the future (least of all me) but I think Olivier is right. The utter certainty of other countries' fecklessness that some in the U.S. seem to have, especially when it comes to war, defies logic. Non-superpowers have to think carefully about this shit all the time!
“The Europeans won’t fight back” is a wildly factually incorrect statement and shows an astonishing lack of understanding of 1) how the geopolitics of escalation works 2) how Europe works 3) how war works
France is a nuclear power and is deploying troops in Greenland, for God’s sake
France is a nuclear power and is deploying troops in Greenland, for God’s sake
If Trump invades Greenland, the Europeans won't fight back, Republicans will defend it, Democrats will issue statements, there will be protests, and most Americans will disapprove of it enough to earn Democrats a bit more of the vote in November. Then on to the next thing.

Really interesting thread from @kercoby.bsky.social with a lot of thoughtful replies:
At what point do you DNF a book?
DNF’ing is a practice I’ve been developing in my thirties. I give the first 50 pages a chance to win me—the first 100 if I wanted to love it.
But I still have guilt when I put it down! I didn’t DNF until I was in my late 20s! Ever! 🙀🫨
Curious about others’ ways 👀

Really interesting thread from @kercoby.bsky.social with a lot of thoughtful replies:
I agree 100 per cent. Volunteering for the neighbourhood cleanup in my community not only made it safer and look better but I got to meet a ton of people I otherwise wouldn't have. Benefits for the whole area and also the people taking part.
As soon as shit got stupid this week, I signed up for a volunteer shift next weekend so I can feel like I’m doing my part to improve my community/world.
If you feel helpless — volunteer in some small way.
Doing good makes you feel good, but it also helps someone.
That’s not nothing.

This and the related thread are very much worth your time:
Read this. Save it as a favourite. Read it.
Years ago my doctor said that the hardest part of my intense depression was how *convinced* I was by what the filter of depression told me. together we found something that the filter couldn’t deny, and I used that as a tool.

Watching doc about resilience that reaffirms many changes I made last few years to my mental outlook (I read a LOT of brain books). Brains are hallucination engines. If the story is the world is shit, everything is fucked, brain reframes every interaction this way. It impacts behavior; shuts us down

I second this. Doesn't matter if you've heard some of the spoilers. It's so much more than a plot twist (and there are more than one).
If you haven’t watched The Good Place you definitely should. What a show.

Writers, here's a lovely thread that may help you, as it did me, focus on what's beautiful about the writing life. (We already know what's maddening.)
I didn’t publish anything in 2025, but it was 100% my most successful writer year yet 🥰

& rediscovering the feeling that I GET to write, instead of “should” ✨
It’s been a joy & a delight.
