If I'm absolutely obsessed with Her Body and Other Parties (I've read it 5 times and I rarely reread anything), but I haven't read any of these other books, which do you recommend first?
Tell me how much you wrote today without giving me a number.
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
What do you, or should you do anything, if you might have seen marked ICE vehicles in your small town, but it was really rainy, so you aren't sure?
Just under 24 hours until the crowdfund closes!
This will be your last chance to get the book until at least summer 2027.
And by backing you’re also supporting great causes.
I'll be checking these out! Meanwhile, I'm enjoying that at first I thought "Oh I Forgot You Have to Let Them Bleed" was a title.
Imagine what he'd say if Minnesota temporarily halted their federal tax dollars to make sure the federal government took it's job seriously...
sure wish i could count on the democratic party to loudly and vehemently condemn this and all the persecution of trans people that's happening across the country (and work strenuously to prevent and undo it) but apparently we're the ones who are being unreasonable if we expect such things

I might need to start paying attention to this magazine. There's some real bangers on that list!
Are you talking "The Summer People" by Shirley Jackson? If so, just added it to my reading list.
And I 2nd what Corey Farrenkopf said in a separate comment about Kelly Link's short story!
I shoulda mentioned that it's the opposite of copaganda too.
No Dogs in Philly by Andy Futuro (book) kinda fits the bill. It's definitely weird, detective, and fiction. I've been recommending it to everyone who will listen. But I should warn you there's a very necessary sequel.
This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.
I bought some Kindle copies of my horror novel BEDFELLOW that I'm gifting to interested patrons over at my Patreon. So right now if you sign up for my Patreon for $3, you can still grab a copy.

I don’t have the energy rn to express how horrific this is. Please submit a public comment.
But that face was so promising 😢
I might copy you. Let me know what you think!
You are a beautiful human. I don't think that kind of money needs to pay the kind of taxes that the other kind does, but I sincerely appreciate your acknowledgment.
First time listener, here. Thanks for the rec!
They're so cute!
Playing ski ball or darts or whatever, but the prize you're trying to win is something like Jeremy's newest creation. There is only one. That chick to your left wants it too, and so do those dudes to your right. You're all having fun playing games. That money is paying the artists and a charity.
This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.
It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.
That's awesome! I'd love to see one if you have any pictures. Even if you don't, kudos to your mom.
Carnival games, but all the prizes are unique handmade items that you can't just go buy somewhere. Thought inspired by the marvelous things @jeremycshipp.bsky.social creates.
We're not actually required to embrace a technology just because it's being pushed by a bunch of venture capitalists.

I really wish I did this to someone before I quit waittressing.
Anthropic head of AI safety quits, warning of "world in peril" & announces plan to study creative writing, as my college charges ahead in deal with Anthropic, which trained its tech on at least 25 books taken without permission from our Creative Writing faculty. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"
