14 outdoor cats depend on us daily for food/water. Tomorrow, we start rationing food. Donations have decreased dramatically. I get it…everything is expensive. 😔 These aren’t the cute kittens. These are cats that were left behind, born in wild. A bag/box of food? www.amazon.com/registries/g... #cats

#HeadsUp: Parasite (Parasitology Book 1), by Mira "You can call me Seanan" Grant is on US Kindle sale for $2 (I missed the $3 sale for the third one), so I got some for random giveaway.

Shane M. Bailey@shanembailey.com · 2d ago

Book 1 and 3 of @seananmcguire.bsky.social's (as Mira Grant) excellent Parasitology series are on sale digitally. $1.99 and $2.99. The middle book is full price but very worth it. www.amazon.com/dp/B074C8M94...

It’s a very short outline for an adventure, but it’s kinda fun!

It's ASTARION day! Did you see that @tkingfisher.com wrote a 1-shot adventure to go with it? You can get it as part of the Book Club Kit at bg3books.com/book-club-kits

It’s Launch Day, darling! This one is not cozy or for the faint of heart, please note the warnings, but it’s here at last! And while you should read in the way you like the best—dude, Neil Newbon’s narration knocks it out of the PARK. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/813073...

Baldur's Gate 3: Astarion by T. Kingfisher: 9798217298594 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

The trouble with book tour is that I can't properly promote and shout about upcoming events when I'm on airplanes and running from one location to the next. Fun fun fun. But! Come see me tomorrow night in Redmond, WA for fun, and the kind of exhaustion that comes only from too much travel.

Hey, October Daye fans! 🕯 A reminder that @seananmcguire.bsky.social will be joining us for an event tomorrow (9/29) at 6:30 pm. No tickets/registration required - just show up to celebrate the twentieth book in this renowned series! #booksky

You are measuring willingness to respond to a survey, not actual identity. Given the bathroom bans, bans on pride flags, renewed efforts to ban GSAs etc, it's not a surprise some kids prefer to not openly disclose orientation to a federal government survey.

Hey I'm teaching on Hoshana Rabba (this Thursday evening!) in honor of Reb Arthur Waskow z'l's memory-- and it'll be on bad theology, the climate emergency, and prayers for rain. 7:30pm ET. Join us! theshalomcenter.org/events/soak

i got one of my favorite kickers in ages published this weekend www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

1. Jay Feely, a former NFL kicker and a GOP candidate for Congress in Arizona, has made “protecting women’s sports” a centerpiece of his election campaign. So I reviewed years of Feely’s podcast appearances to see what he actually thinks about female athletes. 🧵

We are doing this! It is going to be SO! MUCH! FUN! Also Peter is a hero of men and deserves a nice full room. He brought me Pepto Bismol when I landed in San Diego, so I wouldn't keep feeling like I was actually about to die.

Peter Clines@peterclines.com · 3d ago

OH HEY SAN DIEGO FOLKS Completely forgot to mention that I'm going to be at @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social tomorrow night chatting with @seananmcguire.bsky.social about the latest October Daye book-- A DIVIDED DUTY. Swing by and ask questions. Get answers. Buy books and have them scribbled in.

The obvious conclusion (to me): if you have proprietary research & you upload it into the Plagiarism Nexus, it's not YOUR proprietary research anymore. Behave accordingly.

Boosting again for people getting COVID vaccines (thank you for getting vaccinated!!) because my mentions are full of people finding it helpful. There is way more detail (and citations!) in the thread both up and down but this is the key info!

rahaeli@rahaeli.bsky.social · last yr.

The dosage and timing for pre-vaccination is EITHER: - 50mg diphenhydramine (Benadryl) OR 50mg promethazine (Phenergan) 15 minutes before the shot OR - 20mg cetirizine OR 20mg loratidine 2-3 hours before the shot Only take one of those (ie, don't take Benadryl AND cetirizine).

Colin Carlson@colincarlson.bsky.social · 5d ago

David Quammen's essay in The New York Times today closes with this paragraph. It's both a scientific falsehood, and an incredibly dangerous narrative. If you're willing to give me five minutes of your time, I'd like to explain why.

I am so pleased with the candy corn on the cob on the cover. Please pre-order now, so I can tell you Sumi's story!

Anyway, the moral is that just because it wasn’t a grueling slog to write doesn’t mean it’s not fun to read.

Mike Rogers is a biological human who hallucinates like a robot.

Charles Gaba ✡️@charlesgaba.com · 6d ago

@uaw.org says Mike Rogers’ claim that he “built” cars on an assembly line is “stretching the truth.” ❌ “The facility he claims he worked at didn’t assemble cars ❌ The car he claims he worked on didn’t even exist yet ❌ UAW has no record of him being a member” michiganadvance.com/2026/09/24/m...
