The best match last night. More please!
A high stakes Mixed Tag Match went off the rails immediately when the team of "Timeless" Toni Storm + Orange Cassidy faced Marina Shafir + Wheeler Yuta with the loser of the fall getting their head shaved!

OUT TODAY @titanbooks.bsky.social ! So grateful to tell the stories those who came before me couldn’t or were not permitted to. I do believe we are here for ourselves and for our ancestors. Writing is more than a book for me.
THANK YOU READERS!

This winter Ive observed 2 types of ppl: those who put their head down & trudge thru 10in of snow to reach the door to their bldg & those who pause to look around for a sec, identify a path already shoveled by someone else, & take the couple extra mins to walk the longer but clear way to the door. 🤔

Anyway, the place where I am coming from whenever I write anything, anywhere is: we can live better than this, but that requires the will to change. The universe is too fucking fabulous for us to only know it through capitalism and white supremacy. That's what my posts and books are always about.

"The Nightmare Box" is still one of my favorite stories of my own, and definitely one of the many ACAB stories in this book.
The titular story of The Nightmare Box and Other Stories explores a government program's supernatural efforts to suppress the Black Panther Party, and a mercenary witch's decision to either be complicit for $ or follow her moral conscience.

Hey so MOST of you are wildly unqualified to casually make content about what’s in the Epstein files and it would be great if you’d remember you are surrounded by survivors and active victims off and online.

“We need to get better at treating this like a business…like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.” — ICE director Todd Lyons, April 2025
The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago

I talked with three Minneapolis organizers, including Andrew Fahlstrom and Susan Raffo, about community defense in Minneapolis, the social fabric of collective care under federal occupation, and how people around the country should be gearing up for the long struggle ahead. Audio + transcript:
Minneapolis Community Defense Is “Riding on the Learning Edge of a Whirlwind”
“We are becoming the people that we always knew that we needed to be,” says Minneapolis organizer Andrew Fahlstrom.
