Welcome new followers. A word of warning: if you followed me because I'm an old and serious lefty (which I am), you should also know I'm a Jew who believes that all people in the region--Isrealis, Palestinians, Arabs, Druze, Bedouins, etc.--deserve security and self-determination.

It's Holocaust Remembrance Day. I'm asking you to remember that the Shoah wasn't an isolated moment, but a horrible escalation of an ongoing system of expulsions, pogroms, exploitation, and mass murders that begins with is ongoing today.

This shook me and I didn't think I had any shakes left this week:
OK WELL SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT EMRYOS
Here's a story about my children who, in spite of the fact they were born two years apart, are CONVINCED they're twins
They came to me, with their evidence & I, thinking scientists would laugh with me, tweeted about it
It did not go how I thought it would

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Notes from a disturbing moment at “Cabaret” on Broadway last night, as Adam Lambert had to force the audience to confront its apparent disrespect around antisemitism…this production of the show left me in a dark place. Grateful Adam forced others to sit in that head space. #NeverForget #TheaterSKY

How the Democrats Lost the Working Class
The theory seemed sound: Stabilize financial markets, support the poor and promote a more secure, integrated world. But blue-collar workers were left behind.

Got fancy under-eye puffiness/dark circle reducing thingamabobs for Hanukkah and decided to give them a go today. Really pissed that they work. I'm absolutely never going to pay actual $ for these, so now I have to spend the rest of my life knowing it's my own damn fault I look tired all the time.

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

I've now left my third activist network because members got obsessed with Vatnik bullshit and all real work ground to a halt. We are not, as a species, smart enough to survive the technologies we've built.

So. I hear you got a giftcard and you don't know what to do with it. My rabbit and I have a suggestion.
You *could* preorder WE LIVED ON THE HORIZON. It'll help keep Mochi in treats and bows.
Bonus: It's pretty good and about many of the things you're worried about.

JFC. If Trump appoints Dershowitz as the antisemitism czar (two words that should never go together in that way), it's more proof that his administration is hideously corrupt but it says nothing about the Jewish people. I guaran-damn-tee you we are more unhappy about this than any gentile.

It's emblematic of this time that an author writing about the Shoah, descendant of the author of one of it's legal justifications, uses her platform to literally spread blood libel. I'm grateful to Emily Kaplan for researched response, and not surprised @rebeccamakkai.bsky.social hasn't responded.

Currently making alligator gumbo because we are having company for dinner and I'm not a great cook, so I have to make things people don't eat often so I can say, "It's supposed to taste like that."

Announcing new projects is one of my favorite things to do. Forest Avenue, my press, just acquired PURGATOIRE, a novel, by @lizprato.bsky.social. It's historical fiction, with some magic--my favorite blend of genres!--and it's set in Colorado. Publication spring 2026. #writingcommunity
