Because of @catkimbriel.bsky.social, here are 10 US Kindle copies of Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum, the Discworld book that teaches you how to deal with fascists. And would-be rapists. (Spoiler: they're both remarkably similar.)

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is
The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

I'm at MFF table F21-22!

I didn't wind up shipping extra plush due to Pig's sudden passing, so hurry over if you want a Purrmaid!

But I hopefully have plenty of pins, stickers, and prints!

But my outside to behold.

I used to think the CDC being an evil organization was far-fetched in the future-zombie series by Mira Grant ( @seananmcguire.bsky.social ).
After today's CDC Panel announcement, I no longer think it's that far-fetched.

their goal is to kill children

and every Republican senator who knew better and voted to confirm him anyway has that blood on their hands
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...

ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:

"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."
RFK Jr.’s CDC panel: No more hepatitis B vaccine for some newborns
The CDC's vaccine advisory panel, stocked with anti-vaccine activists and loyalists to RFK Jr., voted Friday to stop recommending a birth dose of vaccine.

To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:

Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.

They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.

Small world.

Discworld QOTD, from Eric

"Hell, it has been suggested, is other people.

This has always come as a bit of a surprise to many demons, who had always thought that hell was sticking sharp things into people and pushing them into lakes of blood and so on."

Day five of the #HooklandChristmasTree decoration and the Star Wraith haunts a branch. The hooded figurine, face and body made from constellations of enamelled stars, seems to float more than dangle. Oddly, the stars seem to have shifted position each time you look closely at it.

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”

“But we can open the box,” said Toad.

“That is true,” said Frog.

the enterprise is a woman, as demonstrated by the fact that it is the love of james tiberius kirk’s life

in this essay I will -
So I'm not as much of an expert on Kirk as some people (in particular, my sister, who has actually watched all of TOS and has Strong Thoughts about it lol), but

I would say less that it's "duty" that restrains him from settling down than that his actual true love is the goddamn ship

Mark Kelly is being directly targeted by Trump and he’s responding to those threats - good! - but then Kelly goes and votes to confirm one of Trump’s judicial nominees.

Why would you actively help your abuser? Come on, Dems. Show some damn courage and insight.

ah but you see sam, if the kids get liver cancer that just means they were meant to get it and Nature is doing its job
This regressive move will literally kill people. It's making kids' liver cancer great again. And it's a sign of more harm to come.

Ain’t no party like a Donner party cause a Donner party don’t stop til most of them are dead and the most hated cannibalistic survivor ends up opening a hotel and restaurant in Sacramento because I guess he really knows how to cook meat.
Donner sure knew how to party.
