Reading others' thoughts on any sci-fi story can be so illuminating about the many different sorts of assumptions and lenses individuals bring to a piece. With Pluribus, it's true in an exponential way, because it shows how innately resistant people are to imagining a true lack of individuality.

My three home states, together at last
IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative.

The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Hi I'm 43, and today I learned that in the movie Gigli, it's Ben Affleck's character who is named Gigli and not JLo's.

Hello fellow New York City dwellers! I made a mayoral primary zine letting you know who to rank on your ballot, important dates, why ranked choice voting is good, and who NOT to rank. I posted a free download so you can print and assemble your own here: drive.google.com/drive/u/1/fo...

We used to only wear our jeans that way. It was the only jeans for a while. Especially for those of us with short leggies

When you self-publish a book, find a cool artist and pay them out of your pocket for a cover. You will not regret this.

Buzzing Beehive, out today, is part of the Mobs of Minecraft series, illustrated by Alan Batson. I get to indulge my gaming nerd with this series, and I looooove the covers 🐝

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

Planet Fitness locations in Los Angeles are “offering anyone impacted by the fires—first responders and residents—free access to shower, recharge, and relax”

No membership is required to take advantage of locker rooms, WiFi, charging stations at any LA County location not impacted by the fires.

One of the more absurd things that gets said in the ER a lot is that a chief complaint probably isn’t serious or real when it’s an unhoused patient.

Gonna blow some minds and point out that *people sleeping outdoors with no money are actually going to get sick more often*.

There are things that are complicated: Rupert Murdoch owns HarperCollins. Amazon helps us self-pub books. There are tangles that are hard to unravel.

This is ONE franchise, whose owner has a *death grip* on the rights, profits directly from everything, and uses that money to target people violently
At this point: if you watch this, if you play the game, if you give this evil twisted racist terf money - you’re making a very specific choice and telling us how little you care for other ppl. And we’ll all remember it. Move on. Get over it. Choose.
“J.K. Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement."

She does. But those views are harming trans people, and JK Rowling should face consequences for that.

In all likelihood, if you use public bathrooms, you have shared them with trans people plenty of times, and nothing has happened, and you haven’t even known, because you don’t interrogate people who are just trying to use the restroom in peace, which is as it should be.
