Last fall, Isis @sistahscifi.bsky.social invited @pdjeliclark.bsky.social and I to talk about our #MGbooks, Abeni's Song & Daydreamer. I usually only see Phen at cons, so good to finally chop it up & nerd UP on elves, world folklore, writing with kids. Das EFX, forever.

So something this article mentions that I want to footstomp for folks that don’t work with the military: it’s an “up or out” institution where if you don’t get promoted, your career is over. To get promoted you need to have specific types of jobs on your record. This move effectively ends her career

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

The imaginary created around fear of Mamdani is staggering. Like he's some kind of Shariah·law·Manchurian candidate. I'm breathing a lot easier in New York City these days, but I fear for his life, so I can never truly rest.

Reposting because the need is great. I service a school with about 600 kids who need ESL services and we have to make a ton of things from scratch. Please consider donating, thank you!
I'm doing my first ever Donors Choose project. We need a color printer to make materials for our ESL students.

When you enter the code LIFTOFF at checkout, your donations (of up to $50) will be matched from now until 7 days after the project is published!

This is a sleeper election. Really need to pay attention to this. This is literally the power to the people.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

This may be 1 too many thoughts to the wind, but even if Mamdani fails at his attempt to make NYC affordable, the next mayor will have to run on the promises that Mamdani made. In other words, he's already changed the debate m
