I blogged again. Read here for children’s books recommendations, octopus factoids, a little autobiographical account of why I think it’s good as a Christian to condemn bad Christianities, and to give your input on which sour candy is best.
IT’S OUT IN ONE MONTH
(I’m okay I’m okay)
ANNALEE BLURBED MY BOOK
*passes out*
This week, my state of Maryland became the first U.S. State to get an official state shark!
I wrote about why Megalodon is awesome, how we know that it's extinct, and what having a state shark means for modern-day shark science and conservation
I'm fine, everything is fine. 🧪🌍🦑🦈
Over two seasons, “The Comeback” humiliated its semifamous heroine with fake reality shows, desperate catchphrases, and snubs galore. In the third season, writes @johnsemley3000.bsky.social, things somehow get worse in the depersonalized, computerized present.
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

If, and only if, it would NOT at all be a financial hardship, and you find what I do valuable ⤵️

A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"
I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.
Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:

I find it helpful to say that they are structurally indifferent to truth. Even when they're right it's incidental to the process
We aren't on Democrat's asses because they aren't moving fast enough, they're moving at all because we're yelling at them. And they need to be replaced by people, like Mamdani, who will MOVE OF THEIR OWN VOLITION because they know right and wrong and will fight for it.
Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread:
Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.
a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate
If you have any information at all on these plans, now is the time to share it. Reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same
The President just threatened genocide.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law.
Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.
i will vote for dems who say this stuff and act on this stuff! i will give them money! i will tell my friends to do the same! it is what i want from government more than anything else right now!
The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Just saw over on Instagram that @firestorm.coop, a really awesome worker-owned radical bookstore and mutual aid hub in Asheville, NC, is struggling financially and needs support to stay open.
I highly recommend buying books from them, and becoming a sustainer on Patreon if you can!
5 just how routine and normalized the answer to EVERYTHING in America is more cops, more cops, more cops. To do every job. TSA unpaid? More cops! Congress can’t budget? More cops! To *me* there is intimidation by their mere presence, but I feel like their PR move is not to conjure fear but normalcy…
Omg this is so rad!!
it's so good!
No one on earth looks as happy as him and all of us are jealous he can just fly the fuck away from all this horseshit
It's so incredibly disappointing that Daniel Biss, who had an affair with a student while he was a professor, has beat young and vibrant Kat Aboughazaleh instead of withdrawing from the race
He should not accept the nomination
ABUGO TO THE POLLS!!!
Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.
A green book that says Bad Services: How to fix services that don't work
Good Services came out 6 years ago and I am SO excited to finally announce that the Sequel - Bad Services - will be out in late May!
Today is Long Covid Awareness Day. If this video doesn't break your heart and make you want to do EVERYTHING you can to avoid giving #covid to someone else or getting it yourself, I truly do not know how to reach you. Please wear a mask, at least in essential public places. It's the least we can do.
