I vastly underestimated how evil a large portion of this country is, and that includes the people who are willing to throw minority groups to the wolves to ensure that their own comfort isn't disturbed.

I'd even up that a couple of notches to "why would I want to know about kids' genitals, the fuck is wrong with you?" as an easy thing to say.

Honestly, this is going to make giving directions so much easier. "You just take Highway America #1 until you get to Lake America, turn right at the America Mart, and then bang your first left on America Street. If you find yourself in Americaburgh you've gone too far."

heya @raxkingisdead.bsky.social - a young genderqueer friend-of-the-bookstore came in recently asking for books about connecting with nature. After further questioning, I sold her "Sloppy". She came back today & absolutely gushed about it (lack of "nature" content notwithstanding). One more new fan!

Super exciting! We are Big Fans of libro.fm over at @bearbeebooks.bsky.social , & the addition of synced ebooks is great news. (I'd love to see @libro.fm and @bookshop.org collaborate on ebooks, too - Bookshop's ebook experience is pretty mediocre, and it's an obvious place to combine forces!)

hi film nerds 🎞️ Wanted to try 6x9 more seriously so I bought the heaviest camera I could find: Mamiya Press Super 23. Shot one roll and I think I'm sold. Here's my doggo on Tri-X 400 (dev'd HC-110) in our just-getting-started local darkroom. On the plus side, I won't need to lift weights anymore

Love this story! Bogotá, Colombia, aims to achieve gender parity in cycling by 2039, as women currently account for only 28% of daily bicycle trips. The city is addressing barriers such as safety concerns and lack of cycling skills by building more protected bike lanes and offering cycling lessons.

‘They were told bikes were for men’: how Latin America’s city of cycling is breaking gender barriers
With less than a third of cycling journeys taken by women, Colombia’s capital, Bogotá, is installing bike lanes, teaching cycling and making sure ‘stereotypes are left behind’

Reminder: perhaps the easiest & cheapest way to tell Bezos to fuck off is by linking to Bookshop or (even better) an indie bookstore WHENEVER you talk about a book online. W/o a link people will just google it & that will lead to Amazon. W a link you can send a sale to a good business

Happy Earth Day!
Map of local temperature trends from GISTEMP from 1970-2025. It's warming faster over land than the ocean, more in the North than in the South, and most of all in the Arctic. Red covers the regions that have warmed more than 2ºC - which is basically all NH extratropical land areas. Sorry.

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

fellow engineers, you really need to start asking yourself some questions when building something: 1. how will the police use what i'm making? 2. what kinds of people are the police going to use it against? 3. how many people will be harmed in silence before we find out?
