“Oh, so because I support Trump/MAGA, that automatically makes me a bigot?” To be clear: With absolute certainty, YES. Without doubt, YES. A million times, YES. As sure as the turning of the Earth, YES. Truer than anything that’s ever been true, YES.

A federal book banning bill under consideration in the Senate is dangerously broad, threatening critical school funding unless they comply with sweeping prohibitions. This type of censorship can't become law. Tell your Senators to oppose censorship & reject S4925: www.action.ala.org/campaign/S4925

An excerpt from Platform Decay (Murderbot book 8) by Martha Wells:

“(Emotion check: apparently there is an easier way to do things, but I wouldn’t know. I like to do it the hard way, and take as much physical and emotional damage as possible.”

Moody Monday
Man and dog walk together up a residential sidewalk with their backs to the camera. The sun shines brightly from behind the camera illuminating the homes and trees, casting pronounced shadows. The solid cloud sky in the distance is nearly black, creating a marked contrast in the weather approaching.

The question that broke America fundamentally was ‘do all people deserve basic rights?’ This question was too hard for us. Too hard for our leadership. It still is. So now all of our rights are in jeopardy.

I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage. We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

"...creation flows both ways." Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor twisted around in my mind and felt like creativity reawakening. Thank you to @roundaboutbookshop.bsky.social for bringing this outstanding reading experience to my attention.
Death of the Author: a novel by Nnedi Okorafor in hardback with the dust cover removed to reveal a secondary title art for Rusted Robots: a novel. The covers both feature teal and orange fabric patterns with a dark silhouette outline of a woman on the first and a robot on the second. The book sits on a patio sofa with a blurred background of foliage, fence and blue skies.
