Boycott. Sanction. Divest.
Never forgive. Never forget. Never again for anyone.

This week, I led a team of Humanity First USA lawyers and volunteers to set up a legal support booth for victims of the devastating LA fires.
Over the course of just a few days, we’ve already served dozens of families. We expect many more to arrive throughout the coming days and weeks for legal support and counsel.
Here is a snapshot of these heart wrenching stories, and how you can help support LA fire victims.

@gepasi @bookstodon TIL Ursula Le Guin and Philip K Dick both were at the same school at the same time, but don't remember meeting! https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/nonfiction/interview-ursula-k-le-guin/

🚨The Hind Rajab Foundation is calling for the immediate arrest of IDF Major General Ghassan Alian who is currently in Rome.
HRF has informed Italian authorities demanding the immediate arrest of Alian, who oversaw the blockade of #Gaza, weaponizing famine & targeting civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, in acts amounting to #genocide, war crimes, & crimes against humanity.
Alian’s public dehumanization of Palestinians as "human animals" reflects his intent behind these policies.

Please remember that you don't need to read the new Neil Gaiman article.
I'm glad his actions have been so thoroughly documented.
But if you have reason to not read about it? Go right ahead and don't.

@pussreboots @bookstodon You know, it would be kind of fun if there was a tradition of each owner recording their name (and maybe city) in a book.
There could be "ex libris" stickers with a bunch of blank lines.

Well this is heckin' cool! My short solarpunk story, Seven Sisters, has been translated to Spanish in the bilingual magazine Beyond Dimensions (Revista Literaria. Bilingiie. Bimestral. Two Languages. Emerging Writers.)
It has the English version too!

I've written a few books under the name of Endicott Road. You'll find them in the Amazon Kindle section. I hope you find one or two worthy of your collection.

I have never really used @pixelfed before but I had a dormant account: @amdim
I grabbed the TestFlight app and followed this account.
And it worked perfectly. A totally plausible Instagram replacement that grabbed and rendered all of the images I’ve publicly posted from this account.
I might have to suggest this to others who are looking to flee Meta...

Would you be interested in reviewing a book I have published?
@demerara @CultureDesk @bookstodon
You also might try recorded books. I both read electronic books and listen to recorded books (Audible in my case). I can do the latter when I am exercising, doing housework, and other fairly mindless activities. I tend to do two things at once like that. I listen to my music while I am reading, for instance.

Pushing 80, I've probably read an average of two books a week since I was a kid. Never tracked any of it. I read very widely, and just keep at it.
Now I can't read paper, e-readers to the rescue. I have thousands of books in #Calibre, more than I will ever finish. Yet I keep getting new ones...

You can't be a pacifist and advocate for class war or revolution. This is class war. This is revolution. Anyone thinking that a revolution can be peacefully played out is an idealistic idiot who needs to wake the fuck up.

Excellent. A small victory, but it is something positive.
