My friend @moyazb.bsky.social literally wrote the dictionary 😭😭😭

One of the new words in this edition of @merriam-webster.com:

Today’s NYT reporting

NONE OF THE PLACES MENTIONED HERE ARE NEAR THE PACIFIC

Is the suggestion that designated terrorist organization boats are going through the Panama Canal? The extremely regulated one??

I got THE BEST Chanukah gift: the new @merriam-webster.com!

Not just America's most trusted dictionary. Also one of America's most trusted social commentators. We'd elect it president if we could. frfr

Happy to report that the entry for "abide" mentions cats

Hello, it’s me: the person who is about to launch book two and racing to wrap up book three 😬

Pleased to report I hit 50K today and I am feeling good

I think *The Cosmos is a Black Aesthetic* might be a banger 👀

It's hard to find the right words for this level of absurdity, but this is how intense anti-Palestinian (and anti-Arab) racism is in the United States, all under the guise of philosemitism but often at the expense of Jewish students.

I specifically wanted to see if it was an op-ed, but it’s not.

It tried to kill me but I have finished the book. Second pass pages read through, final copy and line edits done.

Please read my book. I worked very hard on it. 😭 (Also read Legendborn, as you can see from the background, I’m a fan)

ATTENTION HOLIDAY SHOPPERS:

If you want to give someone an apparently innocuous but actually quietly radical book as a holiday gift, then you should gift them @natanlast.bsky.social’s marvelous book, great even for crossword incompetents like me🔥 #BookSky

One of the many banners folks carried that day as we protested yet another tuition hike in the University of California, enacted by the regents with the support of Governor Schwarzenegger

A photo of me taken at Santa Cruz that morning before we drove to Berkeley to protest outside the regents meeting

Again, November 22, 2005 — 20 years ago this week.

A photo I took on November 22, *2005* when I was external VP of the UCSC Grad Student Association and thus UCSC grad rep to statewide student government UCSA

Literally 20 years ago, and it’s always the same fucking excuses from the pinche regents

THE SECOND PASS PAGES ARE HERE 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

There are a few corrections I need to make but this is almost the final version — and at least one chapter is noticeably different from the galleys 👀

Soon I will be done reading this thing and it will be your turn 😹

Happy LGBTQ+ in STEM Day! I’m celebrating with the dapper Invisible Enby, who is a queer fashion metaphor for the way dark matter shapes visible matter in the cosmos. Want to learn more? Preorder my new book, where they appear! 🧪

PEOPLE OF NEW YORK CITY!!! @natanlast.bsky.social is going to be in conversation with the amazing Doreen St. Félix about his genuinely fun new book about the history and culture of crossword puzzles and you should go and take pictures for me
