If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the Gl Rights Hotline.

There is support, you don't have to go through with it. tel: 877-447-4487

Even though today was shitty, I didn’t text National Secrets on a Signal chat and put a bunch of military folks in harm’s way so I’ve at least got that going for me.

I'm rewatching The Wire. A character in the episode I'm watching says, "A lie ain't a side of the story. It's just a lie." For some reason, that speaks to me these days (as do a million other lines from the show.)

Huge thanks to @cassclarke.bsky.social for listening to my podcasts and alerting me that I said something interesting in my tipsy rants.

as a playwright, I feel a lot of big feelings about seeing organizations like the Playwrights Center and New Harmony - nonprofits which incubate, develop and support new plays and support living playwrights - bravely call out the NEA’s cowardice and defend diverse voices in the American theatre

How long before speaking out against the regime is labeled "UnAmerican"? Over/under is six months.

Straw, Sticks, Bricks by Arthur M. Jolly
You know their story, you've just never noticed them in all that huffing and puffing: Straw, Sticks, and Bricks (the chosen building materials of the Three Little Pigs) are personified in this moving...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Politics is the art of the possible. And when the answer to "who's gonna stop me?" is "no one"... suddenly a lot of bad shit is possible.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

May I suggest plays? So few libraries carry plays written after 1950.
Financial statement today reminded me HOW GREAT IT IS when folks request that their libraries acquire books. 😍

Seriously, if you want a totally free-to-you way to help an author, submit a request with your local library. Those sales help us so much, in whatever format.
