If they really want us to believe that nobody knows who gave an illegal order, they should all be removed from office. If they gave the order, it was illegal. If it didn't come from Hegseth or Trump, then they have lost control of our military. They are responsible in any version of this story.
In the face of charges that these strikes amount to execution without trial, the White House is sending a confusing message about who exactly gave each order to use deadly force. n.pr/3XwjcZy
White House justifies strikes on boat survivors, but it's unclear where buck stops

We gotta stop letting this man who never knows what's happening be in charge of things that are happening.
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?
MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

The goal of the cooperative card game Prosper with Dragons is to befriend 12 dragons while sharing resources with other players to fend off disasters together.
Here are some of those dragons. I love all the care and trust that goes into befriending them. ❤️🐉

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Massachusetts, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania. Book Riot has a great explainer on what they are, why they matter, and how you can get involved in their passage.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
