I love this story so much. The pacing, the characters, the whole thing.
Today from our neurodiversity reprints issue, A CHORUS DIVERGENT: "Possession" by Taylor Jones, a story in which a neurodiverse person and her elite trained rat save the world by making friends with a globe-spanning fungal entity: reckoning.press/possession/

An anonymous donor just offered to match up to $1,000 to my fundraiser in support of health benefits for @scarleteen.com's staff and an as-needed health fund for volunteers, which means your $1 is worth $2! Anyone want to join in with ANOTHER match to turn that into $3?

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

$150 sub fee and 20 review copies to judges for a post publication prize submission is…a lot for a small/micro press. Bordering on hysterical.

Please share & give to help Mohammed's family survive Israel's continuing genocide in Gaza. His last fundraiser was closed & the money returned, & his family's in desperate need of healthcare for his baby. 5 euros in donations so far:

I will not be watching or reading any "analyses" about the Democratic party in D.C. I know all about them & their complicity. I'm not interested and I choose to reclaim my time and attention.
There're other kinds of politics to engage & most importantly to do (including in our local communities).

I think more and more Democrats are moving into the "burn it all down" camp because they understand the threat, but the party is not fully there for the reason Bouie lays out below. Republicans know this and can use it against Democrats.
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I called @markey.senate.gov & @warren.senate.gov to beg them to do whatever's in their power to stop Democrats from caving. Ending the shutdown at the expense of the American people & their rights is shameful. I will no longer be able to call myself a Democrat if this party cannot hold the line.
