If you're in San Diego this is going on *right now* and Jonathan is always a friggin' delight to listen to. I can't make it, but you could--and you could get a signed book out of it!

(a book that tells you a secret I've known for years now!!!)

Deleted my whining about my mail server because it had a typo and that annoys me almost as much as finding a month's worth of emails have been dumped in the spam folder.

I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.

WONDERCON FOLKS!!! Come watch us all fight to the death in a desperate attempt to claim the great golden monkey which grants everla...

I mean, come ask us questions about writing and publishing. Take advantage of our accumulated experience and get answers!

(do not challenge us for the gold monkey)

A slim, black action figure stands on a wooden desk. The edges of her black hood are jagged and white like crooked fangs, and the red lining/ collar stretches out into a tongue longer than she is tall, twisting down around her leg and back up

Close on Gwenom, showing the Spidey-esque mask half hidden under the toothy hood. We're also close enough to see the pale, veiny details on her arms and claw-like hands

225) Marvel Legends Spider-Woman a.k.a. Spider-Gwen a.k.a. Gwenom. I admit I rolled my eyes when they brought back Gwen Stacy, but I've really come to like all the things they've done with her as Spider-Woman. I stumbled across this Gwenom at the same time as Phage (above) and just had to get her.

I honestly never knew I was color blind until seventh grade. The teacher showed us a few dozen Ishihara tests and I failed spectacularly.

I think I count as legally color blind so I'll just save myself the time and say I got a score in the 20s or so...

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong:

"Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. 
I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. 
The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. β€œPastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. 
Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge.
The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.

Bullies are ALWAYS caught off guard when someone they're picking on fights back. The defining trait of a bully is expecting they can do whatever they want without retaliation or repercussions.

Great. So if you write to BlueSky support about a violation of your intellectual property, they reply telling you to contact another email address, which replies telling you to contact BlueSky support.

it's curious how this won't be accompanied by 75,000 mainstream pundit pieces about how Republicans are obsessed with "identity politics" and need to reconnect with "real America" on "kitchen table issues"

The war makes it more urgent for journalists to call out Trump’s derangement | Press Watch The commander-in-chief is unfit for duty.

I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...

Today, The Daily Beast picked up the story and discussed the NPR's analysis of the missing documents. But the response is still very muted. These is absolutely no defense for the Trump administation's actions. Impeach him now! bsky.app/profile/thed...
