" @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social has created a work of speculative fiction that resonates deeply with the present moment. That’s the Grievers trilogy, the third volume of which—titled Ancestors—is due out soon; its plot blends a story of urban transformation with a heady amount of (literal) magic."
For the mild, we offer character studies and Italian fables. For the wild, we bring body horror and demonic deals. @tobiascarroll.bsky.social brings us the can't-miss indie speculative fiction for May and June 2025!

Listen to our full conversation with writer and organizer @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social on death, witching, and the alchemy that happens when we turn toward each other in relationship: atmos.earth/staying-root...
"There’s something in me that, even though I was raised not to trust it, still knows that what happens between my bare feet and the dirt is sacred.

I still know that when I’m overwhelmed by what I’m carrying, if I go lay down in my yard, I will recover some of myself."

Sometimes when I’m struggling to give my attention to fruitful, community-building things, I refer to the Emergent Strategy principle that “what you pay attention to grows” and that helps me. Grateful everyday for @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social and the impact her work has made on me.

If you are upset about what's going on but aren't sure what to do: start by calling your reps. This app 👇 makes it easy.

Standing up to authority is a muscle. If you haven't had to exercise it before, this is a great first step. I promise DOING one thing will make you feel better & more capable.
Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

“The most important thing is he changes the way his teammates think about their own play,” Lebron James on Nikola Jokic. “When you’re able to inspire your teammates to play at a level that sometimes they don’t even feel like they can play at, that’s a true testament of a great one.”

Finally got around to listen to this.

This was a *great* episode.

The more you dig into US history, the darker it gets.

There’s a reason they want to outlaw scholarship in the US.

- make boycott your default practice
- tell your friends and family (esp those not on social media or connected to movement) why you’re boycotting - ask them to join you!

A pack of 250 Avery mailing labels is $18. That's 7.2 cents per label and 250 little stickers you can write/print a message on and slap around town. (Don't be a jerk though.)

Ideas:
NO KINGS

TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU

DIVEST FROM TESLA

DEIA MATTERS

TRANS LIVES MATTER

You get the idea.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism.

As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽
