If you’re looking for your next read and have never experienced the work of @tananarivedue.bsky.social, it’s time to change that. Both THE REFORMATORY and GHOST SUMMER are among the best books I’ve read this decade.

Mine collapse in eastern Congo leaves 200 dead, authorities say. But rebels dispute the number A mine collapse at Congo’s key Rubaya coltan site has killed a number of miners. Officials and rebels sharply dispute the extent of the death toll.

The looting of African resources by outsiders & its tragic consequences for African people is an old story. Gold, diamonds, ivory, rubber... And now coltan, so that we can have fancy phones. apnews.com/article/cong...

Good. I opened my back yard to some guerilla gardeners. I don’t want folks going hungry on my block.
They were out there all afternoon gasping about the quality of the worms and praising the ladybugs while asking them to please not eat the caterpillars and there is so much sun back here

Girl, I am going through it. So many people I know are going through it. Imagine being able to teach the subject at the college level intellectually but then get hit over the head in a way that is plain not deniable. Turns out this silence has a structure.

Wasn't allowed to be in a room alone with her *again*. The "again" was the most chilling part of that.

Your reminder that Joss Whedon wasn’t allowed to be alone with 14 year old Michelle Trachtenberg.

Just if you’re getting excited about his career re-launch and don’t care about his revolting behaviour toward Charisma Carpenter.

Call it end-times fascism, or Toscano's Late Fascism, there is a real crisis faced by capital but it is not merely a crisis of production and profit but an existential crisis, a crisis of climate, a crisis of futurity itself. Speculation reaches its end in the non existence of a speculative future

I thought you asked. Sorry if I read that wrong.

"Legend of the Seeker" is both hit and miss for me. There's parts I absolutely love and other parts that annoy me. S2 is pretty great though.
