Woods, stones, words, motorcycles, people, food, friends, lovers, books, more books, more people, fungi. Having a laugh.
This is a perfect sentence, especially without context. “ One camper said the pig drank all 18 beers, then got involved in an altercation with a cow.”

People who refuse to swim in circles when there are four people in the lane at the Y just endorsed Andrew Cuomo. So did the people who don't tip Uber drivers because they've already paid.
People who take their shoes and socks off on planes just endorsed Andrew Cuomo

Please enjoy this sculpture of the Prince of Wales and his horse made entirely of butter, courtesy of the Canadians at the British Empire Exhibition, 1924.

I will not be taking any questions at this time.

Virginia Woolf. The navel-gazing, the competitive use of adjectives, the dreariness.
Somewhat related:

What writers would you have blocked on here already, and way?

I think I probably would have Hunter S blocked for being a dick about earnest people or thinking he was above memes
Been reading an old book about John Dryden - a man who changed his opinions and positions more regularly than most of us change our underwear. A sort of verse spouting Piers Morgan.

And it got me thinking. Which famous literary figures do you think would have been DEEPLY ANNOYING in person?

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

This is a battle that has been going on ever since Google came out with Google Translate. Machine translation has no nuance, no humanity, no creativity. Like AI prose, in fact. We see it all the time in subtitles.
As a translator and writer, I need authors to be standing in solidarity with translators.

I will boycott and call out authors who support AI translation of literary works in any capacity.

The twat deliberately put the banana skin in a dangerous place.
The cunt is a twat did it hoping for a serious injury.

Rather than comparing what's happening in the US to 1930's Germany, maybe compare it to what's happening in Turkey right now. Duly-elected president, previously stable(ish) democracy sliding into autocracy & kleptocracy, with a strong fundamentalist streak. There's a reason trump likes erdogan.

I'd like to bring this post to the attention of @therestpolitics.bsky.social.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.

I will never bow down.

I've seen a lot of stuff over the past days "proving" that the election was stolen. This is a trap. What are we? MAGA? We are where we are today. We can't win over the proverbial base. ALL our efforts should go towards standing up for the vulnerable and finding people to make common cause with.

Astounding. It seems extraordinary that this has been released.

Meet project "Good Old USA" the now unsealed DoJ file on the Russian influence in the US to sway opinion on the war in Ukraine.

Something Trump has bought into hook-line and sinker.

It was held under seal, because we got the literal playbook revealing their methods

A small thing but worth doing.
If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.
