Sixth night!

Happy first night of Hanukkah!

@charliejane.bsky.social you did it again. Great column in WAPO. Cost me money again! Once again - thanks.

@charliejane.bsky.social - Great column in WP! Once again you cost me money, I always buy at least one book from your columns. Thanks!

Thanks for marching to all of you who are doing it! - from those of us who can't

@charliejane.bsky.social - Yet again, a great column in the Post! And once again you cost me money because I had to buy some of the books. Love the way you talk about the prose style in addition to the story. Thanks!

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

People in and around USAID, State Department, and other agencies — I'm hearing about a lotta stuff. I'd like to hear more about it from you. Please feel welcome to reach out via Signal premthakker.35 Your anonymity will be protected. And friends, please boost this so others can find it too.

The single most effective thing that Dems could do is hammer home the message that MAGA is about sexually abusing children. It is both factual and well-evidenced.

@charliejane.bsky.social - Another great column in WAPO. But you keep costing me money, I always buy a book or two from your columns. Thanks!

@charliejane.bsky.social - Great column in @washingtonpost.com yesterday! Bought a bunch of the books in it today. Love your columns!!

Sunset over the Atlantic.

By Friday I will be back home in Florida. I have been gone a month. There weren’t supposed to be two hurricanes. Trying not to dread unpacking on top of whatever else awaits me. Please help add to my joy by sharing about the re-release of Enchanted. (It really would mean the world.) Thank you! 🌹

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #158,246!

Did I mishear or did DJT say that he would sent the army door to door looking for immigrants?

I'm with Kamala. Vote blue from top to bottom or you may not get to vote again.

Two months ago Greg Abbott pardoned a murderer who texted a friend "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" then drove into a BLM protest in Austin and killed a protester. The universal response from conservatives to the pardon was "Yeah! Woo-hoo!" Now they say liberals should turn down the rhetoric

Congrats to Charlie Jane Anders Congrats to Neil Clarke Congrats to John Piccacio Congrats to Martha Wells Congrats to T. Kingfisher On winning Locus awards!!!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility

My dad is a civil engineer so he was our first call this morning! He is on top of this bridge collapse and wants pundits to know nothing can withstand a huge cargo ship hitting it. Pylons etc would not have stopped this tragedy.

Ramadan Mubarak to those who observe!

Aahhhh, there it is www.theverge.com/2024/3/5/240...

Post the cover of a book written by a woman prior to, oh, let's say 1990.

They imprisoned him. They tortured him. They tried to forget about him. They didn't plan on him getting out. This Summer, Jason Statham is turning a paradise into hell. OMELAS No one's walking away from this.

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

HEY! My LGBTQIA friends! I love you and am so glad to have you in my life, even if it's just being ridiculous on twitter. You are not replaceable. You're loved and needed. Thank you for being amazing.

@kateelliottsff.bsky.social I got your Buttondown! Seamless!

Snowing again. Should keep going all day and into the afternoon. Dentist called to cancel. Everything we had scheduled for today/tonight is cancelled/postponed. Will be a cozy day in the house.
