I remember reading "The Dispossessed" By Ursula K Le Guin during an extremely rough time in my life and being so thoroughly moved that it inspired me to get back into writing after a period of stagnation

We are pleased to report that a court has dismissed the terrorism charges against one of the RICO defendants in the #StopCopCity trial, citing the prosecutors' intentional delaying tactics.
Indeed—the entire case is simply judicial persecution. Throw out all the charges.

Listened to @margaret.bsky.social's wonderful episodes of Ricardo Flores Magón's fables on Cool Zone Media Bookclub. My personal favorite was "The Rifle."
@coolzonemedia.bsky.social is an amazing crew in general and y'all should give them a listen.

the people angry at this seem captured by the delusion that "immortality" would somehow trickle down to the masses. This ignores two key things:
1. Most tech oligarchs see "immortality" as uploading themselves to the cloud
2. They want to make themselves gods and don't desire your company

like 70% of the worst evil being perpetrated in the world right now is caused by rich men trying to avoid death. this is their underlying hope for AI, and genetic engineering.
if true immortality ever existed we would have a moral responsibility to murder the inventors and bomb their labs.

Now it has been eight years since anarchists and other anti-fascists assembled in Charlottesville to block the rise of a fascist street movement. Against all odds, they succeeded.
This is important to remember today, when we face a new threat on a much greater scale.

What book I love the most is a hard question but if I was to just pick one, it would have to be Ursula K Le Guin's "The Dispossessed"
It has had one of the greatest influences on me as a writer and as a person

What "weapons" do you think can be found in transphobia? The only ones I see are aimed at the people I fight alongside of.
If you're willing to sacrifice the same people the fascists want to kill, how are you any different from them?
We don't win by throwing each other under the bus.

Odd question:
I'm planning on switching over from Google Docs to LibreOffice
But
LibreOffice automatically sets their document margins to 0.75" all around and I don't know how to change this other than doing it manually on each document
Any advice?

I’m glad people are seeing this cruelty. But we shouldn’t forget the people our border has killed, they get little more than a metal cross my friends make, a small cairn, a little plaque, and a space in the hearts of those of us who wanted better for them.

Border Patrol agents raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles today, kidnapping over a dozen people in what they called "Operation Trojan Horse."
They borrowed this tactic from Patriot Front, a neo-Nazi group that rents box trucks to transport its members to marches.
Now the fascists hold state power.
