In response to headline “Cruz-Led Investigation Uncovers $2 Billion in Woke DEI Grants at NSF, Releases Full Database” I want to re-emphasize that all these grants were public record and written in response to public solicitations supporting DEI content. No “uncovering” or “releasing” was done here

See a Nazi? Report/ban a Nazi. It's up to us.
Fascist need to continually recruit, which they can't do on Gab and wherever. Which is why they need to be banned now– they want to use us to grow their numbers.

I haven't read this book but I'm not at all surprised; the work of Kiki's I have read (ex: sundressblog.com?s=%22black+g...) is absolutely brilliant.
The villanelles in "Witch Wife" by Kiki Petrosino (@sarabandebooks.bsky.social) are absolutely undoing me. In the "yes, please, more of that" sense.

US COVID SHOTS ARE FREE.
Please do not let Walgreens and CVS mislead you or your family members or neighbors about this! They are the biggest part of the federal bridge (free shots for uninsured people) program, but the rollout’s logistics have been a little scattered and you may get pushback.

PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗

#OFMD POETRY!?!?!!!
Criticism is generative. @martin65.bsky.social reviewed Our Flag Means Death for us at SH last year, and now a poetry collection in tribute to the show is coming from her via Ethel. This makes me happy. strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/...
