I just watched a video of a friend of mine being brutally detained by ICE. They broke their hand, and grabbed their partner for trying to go to their aid.

They are all over the city. They are knocking door-to-door, now. We are under attack by our own government.

Bluesky has taken down this video from other people, claiming it's 'graphic.' It's not. It shows ICE shooting through the windshield of a car that is attempting to drive away. There is no blood. You can't see the person. We need to share this everywhere.

For my fellow visually-impaired friends: Have you been wanting to read the screenshots of teeny tiny itty bitty text everyone is sharing in which Judge Reyes hands Rump DOJ lawyer his ass?

Now you can!

Making cool stuff for someone I love: double-knitted alpaca mittens in deer hide shells. This took my knitting expertise, my tailoring -which leaves much to be desired- leatherworking tools, sewing skills, and lots of time. Finished the mittens last winter and I'm not done yet.

I know TikTok might not be front of mind for you and that’s okay, but I need people to understand that in nine days there are going to be THOUSANDS of small businesses devastated to the point that most of them won’t recover. Small seller forums are full of panicking people, it’s very very bad

Late to the party, but I have just finished the Outside triad and I wept at the end.

The audiobooks are good.

The series contains multitudes, but it's really about how a bunch of queer neurodivergent mentally ill people save the world(s).

I can't think of a better time in our history to read it.

"that’s what the core editorial problem at NPR is . . . an abundance of caution that often crossed the border to cowardice. NPR culture encouraged an editorial fixation on finding the exact middle point of the elite political and social thought, planting a flag there, and calling it objectivity."
At NPR... "I and a couple of other editorial leaders were encouraged to make sure that any coverage of a Trump lie was matched with a story about a lie from Hillary Clinton. Another colleague asked what to do if one candidate just lied more than the other."
