I love when you see juvenile cellar spiders in your house who are clearly still learning where NOT to put a web. Does Big Mama try and set up shop between the arm of the couch and the side table? No, she knows that’s too near a high traffic zone. But now and then, a little one tries.

I’m screaming, I know Trump answered the phone today when Zohran called and was like, “omg, hey habibi 😍.” Meanwhile Schumer and Jeffries are probably hiding in their “vote blue, no matter who”-themed bunkers.
Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York City, called President Trump on Saturday to personally object to strikes the U.S. had conducted in Venezuela and to the capture of its leader, Nicolás Maduro. Mamdani accused Trump of violating international law.

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza.
It's 25 degrees outside.
Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!"
Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics.
It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

you cannot blockade a country and bomb its capital cities and capture its leader without being at war with it, is the thing
Are we at war with Venezuela?!?
I don't know. You don't know either.
It sure would be nice to have a legitimate Pentagon press corps right about now.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

I've been talking about Castle Automatic a lot, but I want to make sure I pull the camera back and talk about the game system it's built for, HIS MAJESTY THE WORM, too. Gonna make a 🧵 about the core game's principles and add to it over the coming week.

To add to this - THE MEMORY HUNTERS is not inspired by the Middle Ages. Valerian IV does not wear plate armor. But she does have a sword, is sworn to guard her charge, and went to combat school. And I wrote her specifically to fulfill the princess/knight trope. Sapphically.

Annabelle Lee and The Cremation of Sam McGee have the same meter and rhyme scheme and my insomnia hobby is swapping lines between them.
Twas many and many a year ago,
in a kingdom by the sea,
lived a maiden fair whom you may know
by the name of Sam McGee.

Hey, guess who doesn't use AI in any of their processes! Small indie creators like us.
I know it's crazy to think that we do concept art the real way and write our emails ourselves, but it's true. We do. It's not even hard. We just do it.

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.
This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

This is not groundbreaking but it is definitely welcome & validates prior research on sheep in agrivoltaic systems. The shade is very welcome for them & can also improve forage quality, though it usually decreases quantity. (The pasture in the pic below had pretty bad quality, but it got renovated)

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words...
Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.
