After 13 years in publishing and nearly a quarter of that somehow keeping the ultimate vague 👀 author secret, I finally get to announce that FINDING HER EDGE is going to be adapted for TV! All the figure skating drama you could want are coming to Netflix and Family Channel!

Archaeologist here. For 99.5% of human history (ca 300-400,000 years), we were peaceful (no war). There was conflict and smaller scale violence, but countless studies on the 119 known modern hunter gatherer groups show cooperation, negotiation, and peace instead of conflict. Please read books.
Revenge/physical combat was how people settled things for literally millions of years, it's normal human behavior, we're wolves not sheep, the government project trying to social engineer us and domesticate us into sheep has been unsuccessful

There is something deeply rotten at the heart of modern tech that goes well beyond the corruptions produced by capitalism.

But the public libraries in tiny Jefferson County in Northern Appalachia were in danger of losing their tax funding thanks to right-wing book banners. And we won. The library's funding is safe!!!!!

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

not trying to write a thinkpiece or anything, but this is basically all I did all four years of college—read a book per week in each history or lit class (so, for me, that often meant 4-5 books/week), participate in a 2- or 3-hour seminar once a week, and write longass research papers on my own time
Important update from two months into my “experiment” (lol) assigning college juniors and seniors to read whole physical books and then having a seminar where they use the physical book and physical notebooks and their ideas and questions to fill three hours of class time:

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.
Look what happenes when a TV show releases every year, with more than 8 episodes a season.

One hundred percent, I am a Ben Solo hater, fuck that little space Nazi school shooter, I am suspicious and distrustful of the cultural desire to redeem terrible white men in fiction
I am not a Ben solo hater. I think he’s fine. I’m more pointing out the cultural desire to have a movie focused on randomly bringing him back then a push to make a movie about a Black man. Nothing really even to do with fandom.

Not the government shutdown. Not the prospect of millions going hungry or without healthcare. Not his dropping popularity, or that he destroyed property that isn't his to destroy.
