I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

The Artemis II crew proposed naming a moon crater after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife Carroll, who lost her life to cancer 😭

THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

Congratulations!

Amazing!

Congratulations!

Congrats, looking forward to reading!

I just tried to phone in a book order to DreamHaven & spoke to Greg, he's swamped with orders (book people are THE BEST) but the website's still down. If you're local and web-savvy and available to work with them to address the shop's web woes, give them a call—they could use some help!

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

No alt text, but fuck me, what a clear-eyed assessment of reality.

But hey if you want to check out my “””interview”””* on Escape Pod, the first two of three parts are out, with wonderful narration from Isaac Harwood and the always lovely Tina Connelly on hosting duty!

This is a great conversation amongst a team living in Minneapolis right now. It feels frank in ways I've been missing hearing.

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

Unsolicited advice for anyone on Bluesky who wants to fight fascism in 2026 - don't stress about following big national accounts.

Instead, follow LOCAL groups and people who are doing actual work on the ground. Join them and do stuff right in your community. THAT'S where the real action is. ❤️💪

Ouch! Get well soon!

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.

It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

The rather beautiful cover of Kate's book, which is mostly purple with a rose, a sword and shield, and a Renaissance-style tower.

Happy Birthday to 2025 GoH @kateheartfield.com! Kate is a wonderful member of our community and we hope she has a splendid day!

Thank you for the explanation! I shall check it out. And, hello! 😁

Oh, what’s Vivaldi? Sounds lukewarm something I need to try.

I will reiterate that if you are an independent journo/hobbyist I will happily set up your ghost install and host it for a few quid above cost price.

You set up your own stripe and mailgun accounts, and you get to keep ALL your revenue.

In 1996, two neighbours in Devon, England, spent an entire year hooting at each other while believing they were communicating with owls.

Perfectly normal beginning to every great Dartmoor love story, in my experience.
