One of the great tragedies of life is knowing how many people in the world are made to soar, paint, sing, or steer—except they never get the chance to find out.

#AmandlaStenberg, #MannyJacinto, #DafneKeen and the entire cast were brilliant in their roles in The Acolyte and #Disney made a huge mistake canceling it.

Especially since they only did so to give in to bigots who should be ignored.

Hey, #Disney:

#RenewTheAcolyte / #SaveTheAcolyte / #TheAcolyte.
I am very happy to say that today I read :

#TouringAfterTheApocalypse, Vol. 2 by #SakaeSaito

And it was excellent.

Just like the anime adaptation.

And if you really want a book but can't afford it, readers love sharing their favorites. Put it out there. Say, DOES ANY GIFT FAIRY WANT TO BUY ME ______.

You'd be surprised.

You cannot respect artists at a fundamental level and steal their work.

If it's truly to fuck over the corporations, go drop the cost of that novel in an author's tip jar anonymously.

But we all know you won't do that.

So.

Request books from your library. Shit, I'd rather you ASK ME for one of my books outright than pirate it. Yes, I've sent copies this way.

I see it's the seasonal argument about why piracy to fuck over Amazon and publishers is okay while many authors live below the poverty line.

#WhatStalksTheDeep ( #SwornSoldier #3 ) by #TKingfisher / @tkingfisher.com

And it is now my favorite in the series and I hope that there will eventually be more books in the series.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

It irks me that our country has been brought to its knees by people this incompetent.
A senior ICE official just admitted in an evidentiary hearing in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case that someone else drafted his declaration in the case and he didn’t know what certain words meant.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

The old man raises both fists and for a moment, your narrator thinks she is about to get into a fistfight with a geriatric racist. The thought passes across my brain “Welp. Time to make Shep proud.”

So I’m getting into my truck at the grocery store and a voice yells “Hey! Young lady!”

I am 48 so I did not turn, but then I see wild waving out a truck window. Old man straight off Duck Dynasty, full camo, beard to his sternum. He says “Your bumper sticker! Read books, punch Nazis?”

Obviously they can’t get Trump to help, but I actually think it’s very clever politicking to lobby RFK and emphasize that these are traditional foods, because you know what he’s like about those. Dude went away gushing about removing dams and helping the salmon run.

Okay, this causes me physical pain to say, but RFK is (for once) not actually being a total weirdo here. He’s a guest of the Nez Perce at a fish hatchery. The Pacific lamprey and the salmon are culturally important to the Nez Perce people, and they are lobbying to remove dams from the Snake River.
The head of health services in the United States, letting parasitic lampreys bite his arms for some godforsaken reason.
