This is a WILD story. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

If anyone's ready for a break from "elections don't matter, we can't win, & both parties are the same anyway," here's one. youtu.be/GlxveqpM4iM

Early voting has started in many states! Vote now! In person! (If you can!) Tell everyone you know to vote, relentlessly. Have them check their registration Every. Single. Week. until they can vote. vote.gov

Just signed up to be a poll worker in my city. You can too! www.eac.gov/help-america...

Having read @tkingfisher.com's new Daggerbound (fabulous, everyone should read), I went back to the Clocktaur Wars to reintroduce myself to young, idiot Learned Edmund. I'd forgotten about the scene when Caliban meets the priestess of the Wild Goddess and I would very much like more of her, please?

NEW: A federal book banning bill has been introduced in the Senate. It's time to make our voices heard. Tell your Senators to REJECT pro-censorship legislation like S. 4925 that would limit the freedom to read! We need every advocate to speak out against censorship: action.ala.org/campaign/S4925

This is important watching before the midterms www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rKF...

Okay, two hours after finishing @tkingfisher.com's Wolf Worm and I should not have refilled the bird feeder with the crispy mealy worms. FULL BODY SHUDDER.

Warm chocolate chip cookies on a snowy day are perhaps the best evidence I have of a benevolent divinity.

Wow.

As always, donate if you can and boost if you can't. Detainees are walking out in t-shirts and pajamas in the MN winter, unable to speak English, with no money, I.D., or resources, and Haven cares for them. gofund.me/608979105

An Irish man who has been held in the US by ICE for five months despite having a valid work permit and no criminal record says he fears for his life and has appealed for help from Ireland’s government.

T shirt idea (artists, please make it happen): Miss Piggie, doing a karate chop, and the words "I'm LOUD! Hiya!"

That moment when you're sitting in a quiet, high-end chocolate shop, sipping your drink and reading your book, surrounded by similarly quiet folks. Then you come on a line that makes you laugh really really loudly and everyone stares at you... @tkingfisher.com

Absolutely incredible work here from @hankgreen.bsky.social:

Just finished @tkingfisher.com's new Sworn Soldier book -- a delight front to back, as always. I don't usually do horror but I'd follow Alex Easton anywhere (except maybe an abandoned coal mine...) I wonder if the author's been listening to Old Gods of Appalachia?

you know how when you know about a topic and someone gets it wrong, it ruins the whole thing? @hankgreen.bsky.social's focus friend is fine and all that but an average sock is thousands of stitches and days of physical labor. No way my bean could knit that many in an hour.

Woke up early to read the new @tkingfisher.com and found a line that recalled my daughter's passionate herpetological phase. I remember other adults looking at me like "please help?" and I'd respond with a look that said "I talked with your son for 20 minutes about trucks last week."
