In college, I wrote a 20-pg paper overnight on the philosophy of tech that determined my grade for the whole semester, based solely on the 1st 2 wks of class (stopped going after that) & skimming Walden. Got the highest grade the prof had ever given & he tried to get me to change majors.

Fuck AI.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Who are the domestic terrorists, again? Because I'm pretty sure it's not "Antifa" out there terrorizing elementary school kids at dismissal.

These ICE agents are just deputized thugs w/no respect for the law who lust after table scraps of power to counteract their own utter irrelevance. Pathetic.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

We know it's hard but this is the first step towards attaining sacred balance so nature can heal.

I'm not going to ask you to agree because I don't need your approval to be right about this. 2/2

To celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day Lakotaman will henceforth be known as LakotaScam.

We know he's your Best Native Token™ but it's time to instead find and support Natives who challenge you, make you uncomfortable, and hold you accountable. Just remember that teasing is our love language. 1/2

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

I have (had?) an account on an Indigenous-run server, but I just hated the interface so much I stopped using it, so I honestly don't even know if it's still active.

Times are tough for artists, writers, and other creative folk. If you have the means, consider signing up for someone's Patreon, or commission some art, or buy a book. Write a skeet about a creative you enjoy. Spread the word about their work.

I hope so, too. (I mean, having contacted their offices dozens of times already, I'm not holding my breath, but I'm also not going to stop being a thorn in their sides.)

I called both their offices before I posted. Got through to Gallego, had to leave a message with Kelly. 5 Calls has been a great app for me; streamlines the whole process.

Wounded Knee is not just a story about the past. It is a mirror that reflects how this nation continues to treat Native peoples and how easily it excuses violence when it is convenient to its own myths.

With Wounded Knee Medals, Trump Admin Suggests There’s Valor in Genocide

The call to rescind those medals is not about erasing history, but about refusing to let lies and conquest define it.

If the govt shuts down, I could lose work.

If it stays open at the cost of gender-affirming care, I could lose my child.

I can replace lost income. I can't replace my daughter.

@gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, don't sacrifice trans people on the altar of political convenience.

1. It's shutdown day, and anti-trans provisions are on the line... either today, or in a few more weeks if a clean continuing resolution passes.

Trump posted a video this morning blaming a shutdown on trans people and immigrants.

Here is your shutdown guide.

IT'S #CHOICESANTHOLOGY RELEASE DAY!!! To celebrate, I'm hosting an AMA here ALL DAY

Ask your questions about the anthology itself, reproductive rights, and writing/editing generally & I'll pop in every 30 minutes to share answers

And be sure to grab the book! books2read.com/u/3JYo9Q

Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa.

The right side says: “As the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them.
These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”
