Way bigger turnout for the #NoKings protest in Provo, Utah than at the April one I attended. #PowerToThePeople #DefendDemocracy #NoKingsUtah #NoKingsProvo @sarahgibby.bsky.social

Protest sign reading ”Love America hate how Trump treats her."

Utah! Come protest this Saturday! If that seems a little too European, just pretend you're doing a Pioneer trek.

Claire turned 15 today and enjoyed cookie dough at Culver's and mango at Baskin Robbins. She is enjoying a new school this year and still does aerial silks.

Of all the chasms in the state's "Unspoken Divide" between Latter-day Saints and other Utahns, this one — between current members and former members — is the most pernicious, polarizing and protracted.

But have you tried contacting your congressional representatives? Mine have always been *very* responsive to my comments.

It takes historically 3.5 % of a population to push a tyrant out of power.

Today the US reached 11 Million protesters for No Kings Day nationwide

That’s 3.23 %

We are almost there, America.

I just wrote my congressional representatives again, this time about dangerous RFK.

If you have never seen "Good Night and Good Luck," I suggest you watch it. If you saw it when it came out 20 years ago, like me, I suggest you watch it again. It certainly hits differently these days.

This was basically my take when I ran Bad Apostrophes. If someone is getting paid to write the content, it should be correct. If the original writer didn't get it right, their editor should have caught it.

John Scalzi @scalzi.com · Mar 6

Context is always important. Farting about on social media? Typos and occasional misapplication of "your/you're," etc are fine, and we can all blame it on autocorrect anyway, whether it's responsible or not. Professional-level communication? Please get it right, I notice when you don't.
