I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Every time another basic income pilot like this concludes - the results are "unprecedented." It's almost like it's time for it to become universal or something.
The results of another BIG pilot are now available. This one was in L.A. and provided $1,000/mo for a year (2022 to 2023) to 3,200 people and compared them to a control group of 5,000. Every household started in poverty and with kids or expecting a baby.
The results speak for themselves. 👇

Los Angeles gave families $1,000 a month in the biggest basic income pilot in the country. Now the results are in.
A basic income pilot in Los Angeles saw increases in the quality of life for participants and their families. Some even left abusive situations.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Numerous times this week, I’ve learned of news breaking on Bluesky before Twitter. In the past, it’s only ever been Twitter. Bodes well for the future of this site.
Small note: I wish there was a way to segment notifications (people I follow, mentions, etc).

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!
The thing about pre-orders: If you pre-order thru an indie bookstore (which generally doesn't cost you up-front!) it is HUGE for the lifeblood of the book, it is a boost to authors, the publisher, and the booksellers who steward this life. It's a little thing but it's meaningful should this inspire!

Heads up everyone - this means they hate how well the blocklists work, which is amazing. But also time to be discerning about which lists you subscribe to.
This is the next phase that Kiwi Farms members have stated they will do - constructing look-alike blocklists and then adding popular trans people to them after the fact, once the blocklist is seeded in the community. Make sure any block list you use says who runs it.
Do you know who is running this list? Reason for asking is they copied this account's lists verbatim, but do not say who is running their account.

In a surprise to no one, the gun lobby is pushing Donald Trump to dismantle the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
This would be a major blow to public safety.

My niece is a student at OSU and confirms this happened today. White supremacists have been emboldened, once again, by the election of Donald Trump. It's imperative that this type of hate, intimidation, and violence be loudly condemned every time.
