Came home at the end of a long week to find this happy surprise waiting on my porch: my author's copy of Breaking Canadians!
I can't wait to read my co-authors' chapters and share my work with everyone.

The most powerful thing about being a college student is being able to leave class whenever you want for whatever reason without asking for permission
I ordered some wickedly overpriced derwent drawing pencils (ivory black) because I want them and I deserve them.
First time I encountered them in the wild was at my school bookstore where the cashier was like "yeah I don't know what the hell these are, I'm just gonna charge you for a sharpie."
So thank you magical British pencil fairy and/or ninja because those pencils are crazed erotic and I am a lifelong addict.
How many accounts do you have on the fediverse?
if you're interested in how other people answer this question, please boost.
if you want to still be sneaky, hide your critical passwords (and backup MFA codes!) behind a photo frame or in a random book or whatever, but *tell* whomever you trust most where that place is, or at least write it down in the place they're most likely to look if you pass unexpectedly.
ask the same of your loved ones, too.
no one deserves the pain of navigating customer support trees and the other kafkaesque hells of accessing accounts when they're already submerged in grief. loving is leet.
#SCOTUS #Corruption continues.
Oil baron Philip Anschutz has hosted Neil Gorsuch for weekends of dove shooting at a mountain resort called ‘Eagles Nest.’
A resort named after Hilter’s getaway- are they all on the take? And Neil Gorsuch shooting doves. JFC rid of us these monsters. Shooting doves at a resort named after Hitler’s getaway.
If SCOTUS overturns the Chevron deference precedent in the upcoming Loper v. Raimondo case, he will benefit significantly.
Update: When Mitch McConnell was blocking Obama‘a Supreme Court nominee, holding open the seat that Neil Gorsuch would later fill, Anschutz gave $500,000 to McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund (superPAC) on March 15, 2016.

@fleeky Literally we can't settle space - as a technical matter - until we develop technology that is substantially more advanced than what would be needed to permanently and definitively resolve the climate emergency.
We are *so far* from being able to settle space. It's possible that we could send a few people to Mars or establish a small Moon base, both scientifically useless and horribly dangerous, at a cost that would exceed the cost of resolving the climate emergency.

I have seen two news stories in the past 6 months about Jackson, Mississippi.
1. The white state government is removing the locally-elected judiciary of the majority black city and replacing it with unelected, white-appointed courts.
2. Hundreds of bodies have been found buried behind the jail, many of people never charged with a crime who were reported by families as “missing”.
These are fundamentally the same story.
Former Prez #DonaldTrump did not sign #Illinois’ loyalty oath when filing nomination papers for 2024. The oath, not mandatory, pledges he won't advocate for overthrow of gov.
That omission, days before the 3rd anniversary of #J6 #insurrection for which he's been criminally charged, is a departure from his candidacies of 2016 & 2020, which he signed both times
That's because he's planning 2 overthrow the gov.
The #Coup attempt continues...
BREAKING: New SMOKING GUN evidence that Trump’s inner circle directly controlled the Michigan fake elector filings.
Emails by Ken Chesebro, Boris Epshteyn, and John Eastman, uncovered by Detroit News — and they’re now part of Michigan AG investigation.

Since Bill Ackman and his followers have so many questions about how Wikipedia works now that his wife has been accused of plagiarizing from it, I figured I'd help him out.

Gotta love it. Watching a whole bunch of GenXers out here quietly doing what we always do: Adapt.
There is a non insignificant number of us building big NAS media storage systems and collecting physical media to store on it for our perpetual and uninterrupted use.
No corporation can unalive your library because it lives where they can't touch it.
Worried about losing everything because it's all digital?
Get yourself a GenX friend.
*This is also subversive AF in case any of you anarchist types wanna get in on this.

"However, at this stage is currently advised they do so, rather than mandatory.
