If you're looking for a good read, check out "Death of the Author" by Nnedi Okorafor @nnedi.bsky.social — it's africanfuturism and contemporary literary fiction all rolled into a compulsively readable story. I devoured it in 3 days, but I think it's going to stay with me for a while.

I read all four of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s books this year, and they’re all very worth your time. She connects dots and brings receipts. Thank you, Sarah.
From THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP, on the stripping away of American rights. The book is mostly a family travelogue. But new laws were devised midway through our travels, and I got mad, and wrote that down too.

The “male loneliness epidemic” becoming a bigger deal than FEMICIDE tells you everything you need to know about how the world feels about women and patriarchy.

At least 12 million people ( 3.7% of US pop) took a stand against the Trump regime and fascism on Saturday.
The next step is a national general strike and boycotts. When 3.5% of the whole population of a nation has begun to participate in resistance, success is inevitable. #3E #NoKings #StopICE

This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now
"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

Reverend Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to inter him inside the Washington National Cathedral.
