Published this day. For the low price of one dollar/ 89 rupees. This book will make no money, win no awards and get on no bestseller lists. But if it gives one Ashqabadi the strength to carry on, it will have served its purpose.
Ebook only. Please share widely.

Screenshot of a 3 post thread by Rep. Abigail Spanberger:

As a former CIA case officer, I saw the men and women of the U.S. intelligence community put their lives on the line every day for this country-and I am appalled at the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to lead DNI.

Not only is she ill-prepared and unqualified, but she traffics in conspiracy theories and cozies up to dictators like Bashar-al Assad and Vladimir Putin.

As a Member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am deeply concerned about what this nomination portends for our national security. My Republican colleagues with a backbone should speak out.

Typos are the bane of my life

Here's the cover for my next novel Ashqabad: City of Stories. Book Zero of the Antisense Universe. It's high-concept fantasy. Due out on 30 November 2024. Ebook only. Will soon be available in all major stores.

Hand drawn cover of Ashqabad novel showing a fantasy mountain with a city on it and a river running down from the summit. A shaft of light rises from the highest point.

"The core of Antisense is this: what would a truly good world look like, and how would it work? Who would live in it, and what would their day-to-day routine of work and play be? How would children grow, and how would people’s lives change when they’re old?"

Author @rimibchatterjee talks about the Antisense Universe, the setting behind her SOLARPUNK CREATURES story "Hopdog," as well as her MULTISPECIES CITIES story "Arfabad."

A surprising range of creatures have shown evidence of conscious thought or experience,
including insects, fish and some crustaceans

Bees play by rolling wooden balls — apparently for fun.

The cleaner wrasse fish appears to recognize its own visage in an underwater mirror.

Octopuses seem to react to anesthetic drugs and will avoid settings where they likely experienced past pain.

All three of these discoveries came in the last five years
— indications that the more scientists test animals,
the more they find that many species may have inner lives and be sentient.

"Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the UAW. They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades. This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor."

This is the Biggest Win for Workers in Decades

Breaking Through Borders and Prison Walls, Building Bridges of Solidarity:

A new Chicago Anarchist Black Cross is forming to strengthen networks of resistance and defend those facing state repression.

Having each other's backs grows our collective capacity for revolutionary action so that we may break free from prison society. We are down with all those who fight for the abolition of all police and prisons, who refuse the logic of compromise and reform, who take bold action breaking the spell of law and order to defend the Earth and each other against all forms of oppression, domination, and exploitation.

We fight for the liberation of all imprisoned freedom fighters with the same urgency as we fight for the liberation of everyone languishing in occupied lands and the colonizer's cages throughout the world.

Free Them All!

Suggestion: We fight for the liberation of all imprisoned freedom fighters, along the way troubling the definition of what forms of resistance are considered political or not.

See that shit right there? That shit is correct. That shit puts blood in the body of the union. That shit scares the bejesus out of the bosses. Strike and strike hard #UAW

The UAW’s leaders have called us the enemy in these negotiations. But I will never consider our employees as enemies,” Bill Ford said Monday at Ford’s Rogue Center. “This should not be Ford versus the UAW. It should be Ford and the UAW vs. Toyota and Honda, Tesla and all the Chinese companies that want to enter our home market. Toyota, Honda, Tesla and others are loving this strike because they know the longer it goes on, the better it is for them. They will win and all of us will lose,” said Ford.

UAW President Shawn Fain disagreed with Ford’s assessment of the competition.

“It’s not the UAW and Ford against foreign automakers. It’s autoworkers everywhere against corporate greed. If Ford wants to be the all-American auto company, they can pay all-American wages and benefits. Workers at Tesla, Toyota, Honda and others are not the enemy — they’re the UAW members of the future,” Fain said regarding Bill Ford’s comments Monday.

Newspaper in 1924 writing to historians in 2024

If the historian of the year 2024 should consult the files of the daily press of 1924 he will not be to blame if he concludes that at this time our nation was governed by a venal cabinet; that all our politicians were grafters; that the heads of all our oil corporations were crooks, and that the leading industry of the United States was bootlegging.
--Casper Daily Tribune, 25 March 1924

My little #scifi story here "Night Fowls" is based on a true historical event in Brighton. 🤭 But really, how should one deal with disputes between species of birds?
