the literal position of the trump administration is that any school that has any more than a smattering of black students is engaged in illegal racial discrimination against whites www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/b...

I'm begging people: pay more attention to what's happening in the genre indie and small press scene, because you are missing out on so many excellent stories and writers if you don't. You're tired of everything being the same? Here's an answer for that!

I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at this one and now a lovely finished copy of An Empire in the Clouds by @aijiang.bsky.social just showed up at my door! It's a gorgeous story about the power of art to change the world.

The image shows a hand holding a hardcover copy of An Empire in the Clouds by Ai Jiang. The cover art depicts a red and black pagoda surrounded by water and plant life in the bottom left corner and another red and black pagoda in the upper right corner surrounded by red and black flowers and leaves.

Reminding myself that a book is never expired, esp. less than a year after it came out: FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN is my debut novel, a DMT death trip through the digestive system of empire. It is a political horror adventure that makes Hobbes’ Leviathan a real kaiju + New Atlantis a real “utopia”

I was a child in 1976. This chart illustrates the difference between what was going on weather-wise in 1976 and 2025. In 1976, the heatwave was an outlier. In 2025, it is part of normal variation. In 1976, a heatwave would be one-off. By 2025, it's likely to be on-and-off all summer.

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

France passed a law in 2022 requiring car parks to install #solar. * Applies if ≥80 spaces * Must cover at least 50% of area * Exemptions (grid constraints, heritage sites) We did it with disabled spaces why not solar? There are obstacles but none are strong enough to justify not doing it at all!
