Happy BLACK History Month. I read Black books every month but I got two stacks for y'all.

First stack is books by Black authors I loved and the second are the ones I’m getting to.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Canadian here, ummm Americans…what are you doing? Seriously are y’all in a coma? Why aren’t you taking to the streets? Where is the outrage?! A full on dismantling of your democracy is happening RIGHT NOW. You’re just watching. S Korea and Brazil took care of it in a day. What are you doing?

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.

For years OTM has been my Saturday listen, and it has cut through a lot of disinformation by reporting on the uses of media, and its abuses. This article is key and comes at a time we need to foster clear journalism

"News is anything anybody wants to suppress; everything else is public relations."
I am in the United Kingdom @onthemedia.bsky.social and public service broadcasting is viewed differently here because we have the BBC. But it was fascinating having an American view about public service broadcasting.

Whoever runs The Carter Center socials & the photographer that captured this shot are national HEROES.

There is something so beautifully poetic about a narcissist being eclipsed by a statue of someone else 😭

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.

The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

It’s official: in 2025, the Nebula Awards and @sfwa.bsky.social will recognize poetry as a new award category. Poetry has been a vital part of SFF from the earliest pulps. I’m so thrilled to see it recognized in this way.

I think all women are magical and deeply connected to each other and the universe in a way men are not. If we all tapped in, I think we could seriously fuck shit up.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

Those folks clinging to positions of power and privilege and those that envy and wish to be them? They're terrified.
The people that they hate, use, and degrade to get them what they want are fighting back and aren't going quietly.

Now is the time to be loud as fuck. Speak truth to power.
