No Kings protesters standing on a sidewalk holding signs.
A person in a tyrannosaurus costume, holding a sign saying “Women belong in the resistance.”
#NoKings in Everett, WA. A couple of thousand people holding signs along Broadway following a rally at the civic Plaza.
A woman standing on stone steps, outdoors, looking at a dog.
Pale pink cherry blossoms.
A landscape with green grass and cherry trees in bloom.
Not a great picture of you and Bean, but here is proof! Bonus: cherry blossoms.
I have a weaver’s joke, but it’s pretty warped.
New blog post up! Talking about Anvil of Stars, the absolutely killer sequel to Forge of God that will make you feel sickeningly awful about vengeance. Also talking about Larry Niven's weird alien sex and a big fuck-you to Scientology.

The alt text is so revealing!
It’s no accident that the censored interview is with Talarico, whose brand of politically progressive Christianity offers an alternative to the wealth-driven Christian Nationalism that put Trump back into office
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hodgson was also an influence on Greg Bear, especially The House on the Borderland, which is very clear in Greg’s book, The City at the End of Time.
You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.
Happy, happy birthday, Mary Robinette! And what a fun and fabulous party favor 🎉
Such a dapper old man!
Something I think a lot of people aren't clear on, Liam's parents have followed the legal process of claiming asylum. They are here LEGALLY.
Liam was being used to try to lure someone ELSE out of the house. He and his father were taken because that failed.
Now ... they seek revenge.
It is so good!
You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.
In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.
seriously, ppl. rabies is not a fun way to die—not for your pets nor for your family. ffs

Americans across the U.S. are celebrating King's legacy this weekend. One way to reflect on his life and message is by revisiting his celebrated 1963 speech delivered at the Lincoln Memorial.
Thousands took to the streets across Denmark today in solidarity with Greenland amid annexation threats from that fascist fuck. ✊️✊️✊️

People holding protest signs. One shows a caricature of Trump with the text “chaos” underneath it.
People waiting, American flags and holding protest signs.
People holding protest signs and waving at cars going past. One sign says, Justice Now. Another one says, Ice Out.
Protest in Marysville Washington today. About 250 to 300 people.
Great thread. I will add one thing: it’s very clear that when ICE is going into a new city, it’s not going into a city who hasn’t learned. Organizers are sharing. They start and people already have every license plate number they’ve used and are tracking their vehicles on day one.
The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.
Do you have a Bingo card?
Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.
Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.
AI in a nutshell
What a lovely thing!
