The horrors persist, but so must I. And my persistence means making sure people know about my job so I can feed the cats, pay the mortgage, and help support the causes I believe in.
With this in mind, the reprint editions of IMAGINARY NUMBERS and CALCULATED RISKS are out today!

In Minnesota, ICE agents are illegally racially profiling residents, drawing weapons during arrests, claiming people’s citizenship documents are fake, and leaving people with long-lasting injuries.
There is no excuse for Democrats to continue funding these jackbooted thugs.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Big stretch! Have a snack, take your meds.
-Take as many breaks from the internet as you possibly can.
-The Cursed Object is staring vexedly at the printer in my office, but won’t explain why. But I admit the printer does need to be glared at.

A fantastic read from @sarahjeong.bsky.social on what it's like to be gassed and the violence in the streets right now. On a meta level, I also love the framing; the title and card make it look like just another product buying guide, but it is very much not that.

ICYDK, publishing is in a decline. Many authors who have had dependable contracts in the past are now scrambling to make ends meet and seeing lower advances and fewer sales than ever. If you see lots of book publicity posts, it's because we're scared and trying to keep our jobs during The Horrors.

At the very least, Senate Democrats must use their leverage to disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, and remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits.
Please call your senators now at 202-224-3121 and say NO more funding for ICE.

This reminds of a quote I saw online, that the reason ADHD appeared to disappear in adulthood is that men outsourced their executive function issues to their secretaries and wives, and ouch

There are a lot of men out there who do not see any of the logistics happening around them and they're like "wait, where the fuck did these hand warmers come from?"
Look at every kid wearing mittens, and that's your answer. From the people who have been silently keeping hands warm for centuries.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

If you work for ICE, quit now.
Your chances for future employment, meaningful friendships, and frankly, not getting shanked in prison are already pretty slim, but if you quit RIGHT NOW you might avoid the worst of what is coming.
Especially if you blow some whistles, and then testify.

"The blood was only ever a means to an end," the vampire confessed in the interview.
"To what end?" the reporter asked.
"Blood carries vigor, life force, vital energy. That's what we feed on."
"So how do you get it, if not through blood?"
"These days, we make doom scrolling apps to drain it."
