If you haven’t read SHE SAID DESTROY, give it a go. It is so so good.
Rereading @nadiabulkin.bsky.social ‘s SHE SAID DESTROY because I assigned it in my creative writing fiction class (which I don’t get to teach often), and my god it is a work of beauty. Each story is flawless, heartbreaking, unnerving, politically razor-sharp

The students are loving it, of course

Seems pretty trivial given everything else going on right now, but a quick notice to say all Dim Shores e-books are now free until further notice. Just ask and I will send you a ZIP file with all four anthologies released to date, no DRM.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

I backed this and really want it to happen. About 85% there, less than 3 days left. Please check it out!

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Normal cops in the US are violent enforcers of racist capital, but with a layer of regulation imposed by popular struggles. ICE are outright brownshirt ethnic cleansers. This is fascism: normal capitalist barbarism ramped up to 11. This is reaction: any legal hindrance to their power is oppression.

Solidarity with everyone striking today! The world can be a beautiful place when we all stand together against racist, fascist terror. We're gonna win this thing, y'all. Much love from Minneapolis. ❤️

This is odd… Since Monday I have received 6 orders through the web store -- all 6 have the same physical address in NYC and are for the same $1 e-book. Orders have different nondescript names with similar email address format, like Jon Doe - jondoe17@gmail.com, Jane Doe - janedoe64@gmail.com, etc.

It's a minor point at this stage, but as a rhetorical curiosity it should be clear to even the most charitable observer that all, *all*, of Republican commitment to the principle of 'State's Rights' was just racism.
JD Vance: "I'm headed to Minneapolis where we're gonna talk with ICE agents and local officials about how we turn down the chaos. My simple piece of advice to them is going to be if you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement."

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Informative thread with sources for all data. Like most of you, I assumed this to be the case but seeing it quantified and graphed still hits hard. A fairly quick read, definitely worth your time.
Every day, but especially on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we're reminded of the systemic racism that plagues every part of the U.S. criminal legal system – from arrest to sentencing and even reentry.

Here's what the data shows 🧵

Finished this collection and enjoyed it quite a bit. Every story's a little different but mostly in the Weird vein, sci-fi like I Have No Mouth But I Must Screams, some gothic and quiet, and others straight speculative fiction. 1/?

there is no reason for ICE to exist. immigrants aren’t doing anything wrong by trying to live and work and provide for their loved ones. I don’t care how people got here. if they want to be here that’s good. leave them alone.
