Can this please STOP HAPPENING?! please.
The open secret that Thomas King is not Indigenous at all is finally verified, and honestly it's a relief. Having him just confess this instead of going out kicking and screaming like so many before him causes a LOT less harm to Indigenous communities.
It still sucks though.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Zohran Mamdani's victory speech is deadass one of the most inspiring political speeches I've ever heard. What an incredible politics of solidarity New York is showing us.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I know I’ve been posting a lot about this, but it’s telling of how this government looks at society that at the very moment Mark Carney can’t stop talking about nation-building projects, he’s throwing the biggest nationwide service-delivery network on the scrap heap because it doesn’t make money.

Free speech wasn’t under attack when students were being beaten abducted and censured under Biden? When people lose their jobs for criticizing Israel? Or when people are getting deported for speaking Spanish? This impacts one comedian and suddenly people care? Be so for real.

Meanwhile we are subjected to whiny articles about how unfair it is to boycott Israeli films, academics, artists.

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control.
It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.
The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

"Cancel culture" is alive and well on the American right I see. Never want to hear another whingeing word about it going forward.
I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

Book buyer rant: can someone PLEASE page HarperCollins (Voyager and William Morrow) and explain to them that a Deluxe Limited Edition should not be receiving multiple print runs before release date. It's super disappointing to buy a book on release day and for it not to be a "true first edition".
