Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

There's still an adult in the room in North Dakota. Republican Gov Armstrong has done the reasonable thing and vetoed a bill that would censor libraries, saying it represented a "misguided attempt to legislate morality through overreach and censorship".
More of this pls 🙏

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world.
And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

Don't spread rumors. Stick to substantiated data. Here's a rumor that spread a panic that this excellent news source found no basis for. missionlocal.org/2025/01/sfpd...
ICE confirms no immigration activity on Muni. But SFUSD helped spread rumor.
SFUSD sent emails notifying families that a middle school student claimed to have been approached by ICE. It wasn't true.

when I was in grad school, I remember overhearing a professor saying that it takes two years to break a department and at least ten years to build one back
and I keep thinking about this, but for every institution
