Thomas Hardy would be trying to get everyone to go to mastodon
Emily Dickinson would have killed on original Twitter. She would have been the queen of vague posting, but somehow still be beloved by all.

Wordsworth and Coleridge would’ve tried to launch their own app, but it would be an incredibly embarrassing failure as Wordsworth would never learn how to code and Coleridge would become convinced that a Chatbot was the voice of God.
Byron would’ve been on every social media and dating app, but William Blake would only have been on Bluesky

I’m absolutely convinced Trollope would’ve crushed it during Twitter’s prime era, but than he would’ve been one of those guys who refused to leave it as his brain got cooked by the algo

Today, we're experiencing a second family separation crisis, created by interior ICE enforcement. And unlike the 2018 crisis, when there were compelling photographs and videos from border crossings of CBP taking crying children from their parents, this time it's often happening out of sight. 4/

2025 has been a year of absolutely MASSIVE escalation of attacks on immigrant children's rights. From Inauguration Day, *children* have been targeted relentlessly for deportation in ways that have required the Young Center to rapidly evolve new strategies.
Luckily, we are EXCELLENT at that. 😊💪 2/

Does anyone have suggestions for SF & F in which the main character is a full time wheelchair user?

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵
