Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts

A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

Jesus Christ: after a recent ruling by the Eighth Circuit that allowed Act 372 to take effect, an Arkansas county has banned all children from checking out any books in the adult section, bringing home any DVDs, or using the self-checkout kiosk in its public libraries.

More recently in Craighead County — symbolically, at least, Ground Zero for the state’s attack on libraries, thanks to Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Jonesboro) — the library announced several changes to circulation as it relates to minors. In a Facebook post, the library listed a number of changes to library policies, including:

Minors are prohibited from using the self-checkout kiosks;
Children under 13 years old may only check out materials from the designated children’s collection, while minors age 13-17 can only check out from the children or teen sections;
Minors may not check out DVDs at all; and
Minors are prohibited from entering or purchasing anything from the Friends of the Library Bookstore.

At last, the day has come. Today is VILLAIN release day! It barely seems real, and I'm thrilled and relieved and so happy this weird, difficult, joyous rejection of a redemption arc exists in the world. US: www.harpercollins.com/products/vil... Canada: www.harpercollins.ca/978006334136...

The cover image of a novel entitled VILLAIN by Natalie Zina Walschots. The cover is vibrant magenta and the title is in dark blue font with teal highlights, and the author's name is in yellow. The cover features the silhouette of a person wearing a suit and holding a cane, surrounded by the threatening silhouettes of five people wearing capes and striking superheroic poses.

I told you this place is always crowded, we should’ve called for a reservation 😩

A lit-up vintage vending machine at night behind a cinderblock building at the edge of a foggy pine forest. A raccoon is crawling into the vending machine slot, reaching for a baby oppossum that’s nestled itself between the snack rows and hisses at the rescue attempt. The oppossum parent watches from atop the vending machine, accompanied by a squirrel. On the ground, a fox hungrily watches rats gathered under the vending machine.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.

The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled. All this is common knowledge, but because it dribbles out in news stories about this specific incident or department, the reports never adequately describe an administration sabotaging the functioning of the federal government and also trashing the global economy, international alliances and relationships, and the national and global environment in ways that will have downstream consequences for decades and perhaps, especially when it comes to climate, centuries.
