It's almost Thanksgiving! Got an ICE member coming for dinner at your house? No you don't! Can't stop them because you're not the one hosting? No problem. You can shun them, mock them, shame them, cough in their food. They get the weird chair. No weird chair? Make a weird chair.

Pardon me, everyone, I have an appointment with Santa.

My pumpkin pie turned out dark, but that is because I used a vegan recipe that didn't have a lot of condensed milk in it. This is pumpkin, coconut cream, and many NICE AND SPICY THINGS. Very pleased with the crust.

If you mean, "Is Maureen going to meet Santa this year?" then the answer is yes. This year will be different.
@maureenjohnsonbooks.com are you live tweeting the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on here this year? It's my favorite part of Thanksgiving!

Dreamt I was on the phone with @maureenjohnsonbooks.com last night. We talked about donating tiny designer wigs to the hamster farm in the East Village she supports. We talked about her being on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team leading the way on the freedom to read whatever dirtbag words you want.

I should be used to seeing one of my Brothers Green on basically anything at this point. But @qi.com holds a special place in my heart and the streams crossed and my mind couldn't hold it all at once.

Last night, without and prior knowledge or warning, I saw a still of @hankgreen.bsky.social on @qi.com and literally did one of these in my frenzied excitment:

This is what AABB has been talking about. This is a truly insane overreach, and people on the ground are really scared.

Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett (R) has ordered most of the state's public librarians to remove children's books with LGBTQ characters or themes.

Dreamt @maureenjohnsonbooks.com was on book tour and came to the local mall. She sat outside P.F. Chang’s for hours as seniors came up to ask about desert specials. It was an odd choice of venue, but YA isn’t all about connecting with readers all the time. Sometimes YA is about humility and stoicism

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Shoutouts within to @marc-fischer.bsky.social who was the first person I saw distroing whistles and inspired me, to @bibliogrrl.bsky.social who has been 3D printing like a madwoman, and @lefttheprairie.bsky.social who has been responsible for literally tens of thousands of whistles getting out.

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…
