RIP Don Weise
Farewell to Don Weise, a brave and trailblazing publisher & editor of lgbtq books, including 2 by Samuel Delany (Dark Reflections & Thru the Valley of the Nest of Spiders). We need such editors now more than ever. A sad loss at a relatively young age.

The real story about Sundance: the minute they made real effort to reach out to, fund and nurture marginalized groups (both filmmakers and critics) is when the mainstream media decided Sundance didn't really matter anymore.

one of my kinda more crank, unworkable ideas is that there are jobs where the people who self-select into them are not the people who you want & that maybe we should just sortition people into those roles. like there are some things that attract people to policing that you don't want in cops.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
