Well, since @scifantasy.bsky.social insisted, here are 10 US Kindle copies of @kbspangler.com's DIGITAL DIVIDE, the first book in the Rachel Peng series, which I like a lot.

This is a spinoff from the www.agirlandafed.com webcomic, which I also love.

The scary part to me is how it exposes how they think of others

It’s projection

They feel so sensitive about being disliked and see it as persecution…

Because they believe people they dislike should be persecuted

And they happily dislike people for their race/ gender/ bodies

This really is a fantastic, tightly paced SF cyberpunk/paranormal series with characters you care deeply about. (And villains you can believe, and hysterical moments, and did I mention the plushies?) Just go read it! There's a companion webcomic that feels less gritty to me if you like it lighter.

I'm sure this image is getting a ton of use today but......

Two images stacked on top of each other. The top image is of a white woman looking angry as she says "I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty." The lower image is of a Black woman asking incredulously "You can excuse racism?!"

Let me fix that for you.
The Trump Administration has now murdered at least 27 people (in international waters) who HAD NOT YET COMMITTED A CRIME. No proof of INTENT to commit a crime can be provided because any such proof is now at the bottom of the ocean. This is straight up premeditated murder.

And we don’t actually hold anyone accountable for abandoning Black and Indigenous people so I mean we’re shocked

Because this is “new” not years of anti Black/ Indigenous and immigrant policy

Chicago Sun-Times @chicago.suntimes.com · 1d

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

Any violence will result in more occupations. Chicago is similarly occupied. Note: no red state occupation despite Kirk's assassination happening in red Utah.

Every accusation, in this case of violent thuggery, is a confession. Tackling a blow up unicorn? VERY CLEARLY indicates the aggressors. 2/2

Honestly did not realize this was paywalled because I subscribed to them and it has been a far better use of my money than WaPo or NYT, and also this was a really interesting article. (if occasionally enraging)

AndreaaaHHhHHHHh!! Grimes @andreagrimes.com · 1d

For ex.: Today's excellent piece on intimacy coordinator backlash is paywalled, b/c we paid the writer a fair (if tbh lower than we'd like) rate of $.50/wd, b/c it's the right thing to do to walk the walk of supporting feminist journalism. We believe in paying freelancers in dollars, not "exposure."

Unrelatedly In 1998, an intern of the Fraser Institute and a Reform Party operative were elected to a school board in a mid-sized city. they plunged the board into chaos, forcing its dissolution in just one year.

I used to think it was incompetence. Now I suspect that was a 100% successful mission.

I firmly believe that Stephen Miller and his ilk at ICE will never give up power without violence. That is why I think violence will be, at some stage, necessary.

But it needs to be violence that has state authority behind it, or it just deepens conflict.
