We are not going to get out of the fascism problem by accepting just enough fascism to turn the heads of the fascism-curious.

my main issue with ai is that i would personally see a larger ROI if those trillions of dollars were spent on healthcare or public transit or schools or road repairs or SNAP or free childcare or free school lunches or EV charging stations or public libraries or housing or clean energy or broadband

Save lives and money. If we could get out of our own way and toss off the white supremacist oligarchy that feeds on keeping us poor and sick, we could all thrive.

a good time to buy an e-bike is when the manufacturer releases a new model and the previous generation goes on clearance. most models don't change much from year to year, and unlike buying something used, you still get a warranty. a few good clearance sales going on at the moment: 🧵

I didn't know if it's true that one uses different parts of one's brain, but I do know reading what I wrote aloud catches a whole bunch of simple grammar and copy-edit errors, and it's a practice I recommend for every writer.

It’s amazing how the research shows time and time again that housing people is cheaper (just like govt-sponsored healthcare) but we choose the opposite and claim economic reasons every time.

I think a lot about how people say the SCOTUS stuff won't be undone for generations and I have to say, there is a poverty of imagination at play there. We need everyone and ESPECIALLY Dem politicians to believe that we can and will fix this, by extraordinary means if necessary (and they will be)

I'm so excited that my story, "Evergreen", got published today in Fiction on the Web. A woman is haunted by recurring nightmares about a menacing fiery figure on a mountaintop, and must undergo a dramatic transformation to save herself. You can read it at fictionontheweb.co.uk now!

I'm very proud to say that my story, "Casting On", just got published in the Spring 2026 issue of Tales from the Crosstimbers. This was a lovely one to write - about the magic in connection & unexpected encounters (plus knitting!) You can read it at thecrosstimbers.net or buy a copy on Amazon.
The cover of Tales from the Crosstimbers magazine, Spring 2026 issue. It lists the authors included as well as the tagline: Ten tales from the crosstimbers, on the boundary between dreams and reality. The image is of a forest path winding through blue and green illustrated undergrowth. A small white creature, fluffy with fur, a long tail, and little dragon wings, sits on the path looking out with large black eyes.

The Year Without Sunshine
by Naomi Kritzer in Uncanny Magazine Issue Fifty-Five | 10883 Words

During one of the much smaller disasters that preceded the really big disaster, I met a lot of my neighbors online. I can’t remember if we set up the WhatsApp group because of the pandemic or the civil disorder or both. My Minneapolis block had always been reasonably friendly—people would take their kids around on Halloween, and I knew the names of my next-door neighbors—but everyone on the WhatsApp group got closer.

When the Internet and cell phones went down, my next-door neighbor to the north, Tanesha, built a little booth in her yard out of plywood, with corkboard inside and a roof, and painted WHATSUP on the outside, so people could leave each other messages inside. When I went in the first day to check it out, people were already posting up notes asking to swap stuff—coffee for condoms, cat food for diapers, a bike repair for a plumbing repair. The stores were empty but maybe someone on the block had what you needed.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

I don't know what to say. ICE needs to be disbanded, everyone involved with the lawlessness that has plagued it long before the murder of Renee Nicole Good must be prosecuted, consequences must exist. /1
Poem by Hannah Eve Levy

The day a poet is murdered by ICE

is a school day like every other
in the first week of the year.
Time isn't real but still
it's January, and scientists say
we're gaining about sixty seconds
of sunlight even as the sun sets.
I wake up and feel closer to death
than the day before. I am a mother,
so I wait for my daughter at the bottom
of the stairs and I hold her hand
when crossing the street and when
we stop at the corner I run my fingers
over her ponytail like it's my own hair.
She says there's a cloud in the sky
that looks like a heart but I can't see
what she sees. I am a mother
so when she is hungry I feed her
and when  she asks me how to spell wolves
I explain how some nouns transform
in the plural. Man is men and tooth is teeth
and person who is murdered becomes people.

I've seen people say that the officer who murdered Nicole Good should be charged with murder, and to that I add that every officer who kept medics from arriving, who barred doctors from helping should also be charged under conspiracy doctrine.
