Madeline L’Engel’s A Swiftly Tilting Planet and/or @diane.dianeduane.com ‘s So You Want To Be a Wizard
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

@captainawkward.bsky.social Hi! You mentioned the Hopkins Covid study in your thread (I'm sorry your spouse has it again and that people are annoyingly over-helpy!) If you don't mind, can I ask what your experience in the study has been like?

I'm still in the middle of it, but really enjoying Sangu Mandanna's A Witches Guide to Magical Innkeeping!
Other excellent books I've finished recently:
Knave of Diamonds by Laurie R King
All or Nothing by Rose Lerner

The ad in question, which is excellent and whoever at Gap was like “y’know the dancing videos did really well for us, but let’s make it some up-and-coming Kpop girlies” should get a raise. You’re almost certainly not paying them enough lol

In light of this, @rahaeli.bsky.social remind me of your antihistamine procedure?
From @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social: “If you’re under 65 and not high risk, the window to get a Covid-19 vaccine is right now—before the FDA label changes (possibly this Friday). Once it happens, access will be limited immediately.”

One of the reasons Biden was the last candidate on my list of nominees was that we clearly needed serious change to prevent Trump 2 and I didn’t think he would do it, and I hate that I was right.
History will look upon the lost interregnum as an era when the hard work of preventing a return of Trump to power after the violent failed coup was seen as already done, and that every action to secure democracy was treated by the administration as unwarranted provocation rather than vital medicine

Excellent thread! And for anyone going 😱 I would never agree to something like this - you literally already have: bsky.app/profile/sara...
OK, gather 'round, kiddies - let's do a "why are lawyers like this" thread.
Specifically, let's do a "why does the simplest software come with mandatory IP licenses that assert claims to all the rights you have in the universe, up to and possibly not excluding in your firstborn offspring.

A reminder I needed today
With regard to these terrible Court decisions:
It is *CRITICAL* to resist the urge to give in to doomerism and declare that things not directly accomplished by the decision - removal of books from classrooms, age verification expanding to medical websites, and so on - are now the law.
