they want you to think minneapolis is dangerous. more of brass solidarity band performing today at powderhorn park at the anti ICE protest after their agent killed renee good. the band is made up of community members around george floyd square and they bring joy to every action they appear at

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

Getting those spam political emails saying “the most important thing we can do right now is give money to elect more democrats,” and it feels so incredibly tone deaf right now.

no joke, more excited than anyone has ever been to now have an isfdb.org page. (i've been using it as a resource for years and years)

Wanted to shout out this as Most Influential Post of the Year for me. I got a lot less precious and a lot more tactical about what I sent where, and I think about this when I consider giving up on a story.
Writers: from my Submission Grinder dashboard, I encourage you to persist. All stories submitted at least 10 times have been sold. The longest gathered 28 rejections before the acceptance. Some found their right editors/magazine quickly, others take more than two years of trying. Keep writing.

Just signed contract with @adventitiouswords.bsky.social to publish my wife’s favorite short story of mine, which is also a (heavily revised) version of the story that got me writing shorter work again. It is about a prison break, Io, sulfur, and solidarity.

You’ll be happy to know I’m the one who’s written of your body’s superlative afflictions (congrats btw) (also I wrote one of the ghost eroticas).
Our new zine bundle features stories about what thousands of lab mice get up to at night, a last-of-its-kind bat's death quest, the upsetting world record your body (yes, YOURS) is breaking right now, and one person's mission to seduce a ghost for answers.

Local TV has downplayed it as "hundreds" or "thousands." You'd think a visual medium would appreciate the spectacle. State patrol estimated crowd at 25-30k.

Actually that last rt is getting me in terms of info: to see the DOE proposed rollback on reqs for accessibility in new construction, go here www.regulations.gov/document/DOE..., and read it, then comment. You could use the LRT as a template, but it's always good to mix it up a little.

Please take your post-protest energy and put it towards an action you can take right now: make a public comment to protect the ADA

We don’t stop till everyone is safe
Urgent community action needed by Monday!

“DOE wants to remove 12 civil rights rules. Part of these are disability access protections. They say the rules are unnecessary & outdated”

This will mean buildings aren’t accessible to disabled people. Another step towards eliminating us from society
Speak Up Now: Protect Disability Access Rights!
Deadline to submit public comment is June 16th!

idk i think it will be a shame if people shy away from writing or buying stories surrounding AI because of the Current Craze, bc ... Dirty Computer is not about computers. R.U.R. is not about literal mechanized workers.

literally nothing worse (there are many things worse) than being a scifi author who loves writing AI & robots in the Current Era of Tech. forever grateful i didn't query my novel a year or two ago. see perfectionism & retooling your ideas is good, actually, even if then you seem less Prescient.

Wait I just realized you can post whatever you want on Social Media. Look at this book I got at Dreamhaven. The creature on the cover is a goth (it was published in 1978).

There's just two of us, we're both prior booksellers, and incorporating a business made us cringe. Right now the only labor abuses we can commit are to each other... that's Romance! I'm gonna hit Meagan with hammers

the horrible realization, upon starting to use a new platform, that one only has photos with at least one other person present in frame. literally any other image i can find has a corner of my wife's glasses frames visible
