observing confederate surrender day with a date with my black husband in harlem

People saying that student protestors were ineffective in protesting for Gaza really are missing that public sentiment has swung pretty fast and far on that, and they were absolutely a part of that.

Andy Weir: hey dudes and dudebros
Weir: did you hear about the hot new marketing genre that's taking the literary world by storm?
Weir: we call it MANtasy
Weir: it's like fantasy
Weir: but for HIM!

oh look: wholesomeness

Wildlife Conservation Police Are Searching Thousands of Flock Cameras for ICE Ron DeSantis has empowered hundreds of Florida conservation police to work directly with ICE.

Law enforcement agencies stop collaborating with ICE difficulty level: impossible

Wildlife agencies in particular need to be building community connections and trust!

there's a cybertruck parked in front of my office where I can see it from my desk and i'm like, get that shit out of here before people think we allow cybertruck owners here

Well there ain't no party like a BLOODWORK LATER TODAY party cos a BLOODWORK LATER TODAY party means you can't eat breakfast!

wait

I continue to call on the Speaker to bring Congress back into session immediately to vote to end this war, and I call on my colleagues in Congress and the members of the Cabinet to impeach the President or remove him from office via the 25th Amendment.

this is the way

Trump threatened literal genocide this morning. Call your US rep and senators. - gregpak.net UPDATE: Trump announced a two week ceasefire tonight. Will it hold? What will happen two weeks from now? Who knows. But Trump remains spectacularly dangerous...

Trump should STILL be impeached. If you agree, please call your rep and senators AGAIN and tell them. gregpak.net/2026/04/07/t...

Hey Bluesky, I could use some help spreading the word about my Big Cartel shop. Each of my creatures is designed and hand-sewn by me, and takes many hours to create.

13 LGBTQIA artists, we sling jewels, talk sumo sometimes, and try to curate a fun place where rocks are better to talk about than dystopia.

Just saying.

who has a book coming out that people can preorder so they have something to look forward to and then be pleasantly surprised when the book just shows up on their doorstep

happy to be of service.

for just $8.99 you can preorder my book about the US government’s centuries-long effort to remove Indigenous children from their homes and communities.

it comes out in august, and I will guarantee that you’ll learn something, even though it’s for middle schoolers.

For all the kids in your life, a new must read.

Don't Look Up was a documentary.

Also I fucking LOVE fingerling potatoes.

I'm sure there will be no long-term consequences to all of us veering between hypervigilance over potential nuclear war and trying to go to work because none of us can afford to pay our bills and may still be trying to recover from health consequences from the pandemic we're pretending didn't happen

Wow that's interesting, I seem to remember Trump also acting like the Arbiter of True Judaism saying shit like this. Might want to rethink your whole deal if you find yourself sounding like the most antisemitic President in history when talking about your own community.

They have the opportunity right now to impeach and remove him from office. To do nothing is to embrace his war crimes as their own. To allow him power is to devalue life itself, to thirst for violence, to want to harm millions of mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, children, babies.

There's a principle that's become embedded in the culture of the US, and it's toxic. It's basically this: it's stupid and even wrong to have a fight you know you cannot win.

Really tired and frustrated watching folks talk about how a nuclear strike or its destructive equivalent to Iran would endanger Americans.

people are people. Iranian children are just as vulnerable and just as beloved as ours. Iranians have as many dreams and hopes and gifts as we do.

Jesus wept.

The only thing national Ds learned from Mamdani is to talk about affordability.

They forget that we ALSO elected him because he said NO TO GENOCIDE.

This isn't a distraction; this is Trump threatening literal genocide. Please meet the moment, Senator.

saw a post from a liberal journalist about Trump's destroying-a-civilization rhetoric being "the vilest thing a US president has ever said" and it's like, I mean, well, no, but also "well, no" on at least three distinct levels.

The United States isn't now acting like Israel.

Israel was acting like the United States.

Congress should get exactly as many vacation days as the median American single mother does

It is a JOY to work hard alongside people you respect, in service of a goal that matters in the world. There are few things better than being tired at the end of a long day, next to people you trust to keep pushing with you towards a result you truly care about.

Actually, people love to work hard - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

One of the biggest lies that media keeps repeating from right-wing commentators & politicians is “people don’t want to work anymore”. Actually, people *love* to work hard — if the work is meaningful and workers are respected. It’s a management skill issue. anildash.com/2026/04/06/p...

honestly kind of hard for me to even wrap my head around the doubt in my sincerity. is the premise that someone wrote 450 books of surrealist queer erotica over ten years as like a prank and didnt actually like it? maybe folks dont realize how much work that is
