The Trump administration is shutting NASA's Goddard library down today and things will be archived in a warehouse or "thrown away."
Much of this material is literally irreplaceable.

I understand and I am not kidding about the chair.
Sad fact, but it's hard to feel safe in most places as trans these days.

I've said this 100s of times, but never officially, so:
If I have a set space at a con, there will always be a place for you to sit if you
are being bothered or are worried you might be
are feeling anxious or overwhelmed
have misjudged your stamina in cosplay or not
or just want to chill.

Hopefully it won't come to chair throwing BUT I always request an extra chair at my convention table, in case someone is being bothered or is having anxiety for whatever reason.
You are ALWAYS welcome to come sit at my table, my husband and I will watch out for you and call security if needed.

So, the frog stopped the National Guard from coming to Portland, along with astute lawsuits by Oregon. Only part of what's happening, but hard to understate how fundamentally the Portland Frog changed perceptions and helped morale. Humor, imagination, courage, savvy.

I was deeply inspired by @marthawells.com's Witch King when I thought of gender and it's relationship to politics. Thinking through pronouns, how one person conceives of a body vs. what a state thinks of that same body; what does it mean to have expectations within a body and how do we fight that.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.
The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Saoirse: <stares at book>

M: Not yet, but probably sometime in the next year.

I saw this a few times and thought "surprisingly, no one has ever -- to my knowledge -- gotten mad at me on bluesky" and then this morning I remembered somebody got *tight* one time about the structure of the "Lemon, it's Wednesday" bit**.

The correlation between companies named after the Tolkien legendarium and their CEO/Founder being a chittering skinwalker fingering his own taint at the idea of draining the planet of all its resources and then fucking off to a sealed dome in New Zealand while everyone else suffers is extremely high

Many thanks to @maryrobinettekowal.com for the idea that, if it is possible for you, choosing to write every day can help with task initiation dysfunction (hi, it’s me.) Choosing each day in the moment is exhausting to me. But if I already planned on writing, I have reduced the pressure greatly.

There are a vast number of people in the U.S. who are otherwise reasonably intelligent but they profoundly believe to their very core that if you get sick, you must've done something to deserve it. This is why our health care system is so berserkly cruel.
