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.

I gave away 100 small Pride flags and 100 small American flags at the first "No Kings" rally. It's our country too.

Likely, someone reported it to be a PITA, and it's in a queue for review to see if the auto-label is accurate or not.

In my many cross-state moves where I've employed a moving service, I have never, ever, not once, had a mover believe me when I tell them roughly how many boxes of books I will have. Every time, they've showed up and said "you have HOW MANY???" Even when they did an estimate!

We’re eight days away from No Kings Day, and we have 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world.

October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — and we want to see you there. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Here's a thing I didn't know until this past week.

Venezuela wants Guyana's oil. And Guyana's oil is much easier to get at, while their country is extremely weak. This... shapes the picture in new ways. siderea.dreamwidth.org/1884180.html

"This man needs to be rushed into surgery immediately!"

"I'll call the OR in Denver and tell them we'll be there in five hours. You gas up the ambulance and throw some Funyons in for the road."

I mean this tracks with "muscular Christianity" and "prosperity gospel" bullshit.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

I was just in NYC for a week and every time I got on the bus, I had to step over a forest of Loubutins and ask people to move their fur coats aside so I could sit.

Tactical frivolity is a great counter to hysterical descriptions of cities "burned to the ground." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactica...

My first year in Seattle, I had to go teach an online class that started at 9am, and I listened back to the final hour of Morning on the archive so I could freak out and cry over them making their goal.

Good to see Republicans leading the way on "turning down the temperature on the national rhetoric." www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

WA GOP supports Trump's use of troops

“Portland today, Seattle tomorrow.” Washington state Republicans support Trump’s use of federal troops in Portland and other U.S. cities — some say it’s time for Seattle to be next.

Ironically Ari Shapiro is a musician himself. Very weird interview question - I have to wonder if some producer didn't demand that he shoehorn in an AI question.

That's a one way trip to brain damage right there.

I found that making a batch of focaccia once a week addressed the problem of "I'm not going out and getting fresh food as often" very nicely without my having to make a career out of sourdough starter and dough hydration and so forth (as my job just went online).
