🚨 BIG NEWS: A federal judge has halted ALL border wall construction across the entire Big Bend region in Texas. The Trump administration tried to waive 20+ environmental laws to build hundreds of miles of barriers but locals resisted. These lands belong to the American people, not to Trump.

The ruling dealt a setback to the Trump administration’s plans for hundreds of miles of barriers that have drawn local opposition.

I started off in college majoring in aerospace engineering - competitive overachiever college, and the first day our advisor gave us one of those “only 1 out of 6 students graduate with the degree in aerospace, so look around and see if you think it’s going to be you” talks.

any recommendations for fun math games/apps/websites for reinforcing basic first-grade math stuff? kid has always been advanced in language areas and is very frustrated that math doesn't come as easily. no sign of worry from the teacher, I'd just like to support at home in a fun, non-intrusive way

Hey, I'm Tucker, and my October goal is to get this sphinx ready for crowdfunding! #BookBazaar26 begins Oct. 29. ATTIS & ALEPH is a 20th-century biography told in poems. It's "done," but I keep tweaking it b/c it keeps surprising me. Hence it's my October project. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

For the 2nd time, I finally read a book by an author I've long enjoyed on Bsky and it was so fun! This time it was The Shamshine Blind by @pazsays.bsky.social. A future-noir crime tale with interesting pigment-based world building. Clearly I should trust that fun moots write good books. #booksky

My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

this is my favorite fantasy novel to press on readers since Jedediah Berry's The Naming Song, Melinda Taub's The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennett, Witch, & Christopher Buehlman's Between Two Fires—it ought to win all the awards, but more importantly, all of y'all should pick up a copy

AI #slopaganda is not so much about fakes or disinformation. It's about aligning the world with your preformulated descriptions of it, making reality disappear behind its formulaic image, rendering visible all your fears at once in order to enjoy them more. It's a technology of fascist daydreaming
