When cities clear homeless encampments, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos.

Over and over, people across the U.S. told ProPublica they were devastated by such losses: https://propub.li/3WScD3g

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.

Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

For the millions of newbies:

BlueSky does not have an algorithm.

Like means: "I like it."

Reskeet/repost/whatever: "I like it and I want others to see it."

Likes do not help visibility, only a reskeet does that, sharing to your followers, who can make their own choices.

You are the algorithm.

I want to say this again: Fall and Winter 2016 was a terrible time for authors with new books. Books just vanished into the Trump news cycle maw. Please consider buying some Fall and Winter 2024 books so we (including me) can keep writing. Here's a list of authors with books to consider:
