Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

My top reads of 2025! All come highly recommended, and all contain climate-related topics, themes, or settings.

Ask a Scientist: How Is the Scientific Community Meeting This Moment? UCS—and scientists generally—are uniquely positioned to resist democratic backsliding. Here's how.

We’re closing out a year filled with unprecedented attacks on science, but the pushback is growing. Hear from UCS President @gretchentg.bsky.social on how UCS and the scientific community are standing up for science:

The height of comedy must be somewhere near listening to my parents try and explain the plot of the new Knives Out movie to each other without knowing a single actor or character name between them 😂

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Got to chatting with someone at the bookstore today. She was buying the Poppy War, I was buying the Fall of Númenor, can I make it any more obvious?

We’re both people who reread the Lord of the Rings every year.

She said, “Yknow. For Stephen Colbert.”

And I said, “Yes. For Colbert.”

This holiday season, give Jeff Bezos and Amazon the gift of zero dollars. 🥰

Omelas already exists: no need to build it or choose it. We already live here –in the narrow, foul, dark prison we let our ignorance, fear, and hatred build for us and keep us in, here in the splendid, beautiful city of life...

Thank you! 🥰

A ship sails through a starry night. The stars are perfectly reflected in the still sea below. A massive dark shadow swims below the surface. Yellow text at the top reads: The Ocean Rising, a Climate Fantasy by Annie Carew. Yellow text along the bottom reads: adult fantasy. 110K words. Complex family dynamics. Necromancy and other strange magic.

Vantis wants to become the world’s first necromancer and finally step out of his brother’s shadow. Unfortunately, there are a few things getting in his way:

💸 the sudden loss of his research funding

🌊 environmental disasters

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

There are more of us than there are of them.

"Women are not usually into science fiction"is legitimately one of the stupidest, most divorced from reality sentences I have ever read in my life

Big news out of Indiana today as Republican legislators surprise everyone by saying no to Donald Trump.

Each crack in Trump’s facade of inevitability will lead to more. Let’s keep it up!

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

A ship sails over a calm sea on a cloudless, starry night. The stars are reflected in the sea. Below the surface, a dark shadow moves. Yellow text across the top of the image reads “the Ocean Rising, a Climate Fantasy by Annie Carew.” Smaller yellow text across the bottom of the image reads “Adult Fantasy. 110K words. Complex family dynamics. Necromancy & other strange magic.”
