Decided I'm gonna do a fun game this month:

#MakeItAGhostStory

Give me a well-known tale (can be a book, movie, show, or folktale) that's NOT already a ghost story and I will write a spooky microfic!

Feel free to share and write your own too!

Nighttime background with bold text: "Make it a Ghost Story" and smaller "Give me a well-known tale that's NOT a ghost story and I will write a spooky microfic!"

I wrote a solid 15-page research paper about Benjamin Disraeli, THEE most boring motherfucker ever to take up space on this earth, in high school the night before it was due having read half of one book and I got credit for a full college course outta that.

We should all tell our stories like this...mine is "the time I totally forgot about an essay and cranked out a paper on Deleuze & Guattari's Anti-Oedipus in two hours and ended up winning an award for it"

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.

Some really good signage and costumes on the streets tonight in Chicago to protest the deployment of the National Guard and the continued ICE presence

A photo of a crowd at a protest in Chicago. Many people are standing in a group, some are holding signs. The person in the center is dressed as the statue of liberty with a sign that reads "betrayed" on them.

Now: Hundreds assembling in the Chicago Loop for a march and rally to demand the National Guard leave town. Folks chanting "Donald Trump you racist clown! You're not welcome in this town!"

“Silence in the face of these assaults will only embolden the far right. With that in mind, the Rutgers faculty unions reject Turning Point USA’s smear campaigns and proudly stand with our colleagues Dr. Mark Bray and Dr. Yesenia Barragan.”

This week, our colleague Dr. Mark Bray came under attack by Turning Point USA’s Rutgers chapter for his public scholarship. Rutgers AAUP-AFT and the Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union condemn this campaign and stand in solidarity with our colleagues. Read our full statement here: https://loom.ly/BDXasRY

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

this feels like the corollary to we need Mamdani in NYC and an oyster fisherman in Maine and a midwestern dad in Minnesota.

we're supposed to be the party that embraces the fact that we're a diverse and chaotic nation, stop test-polling yourself to generic national oatmeal!!!

Constant Scream @ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 10h

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.
