Grateful for friends like @laileanah.bsky.social, whose streaming access allowed for the Orphan Black rewatch, which led to these musings about organizing, & @quietaction.bsky.social, who saw my early much-less-coherent drafts, which eventually turned into this essay, thanks to their encouragement!🫂

krystal omg, this was a gift!! i rewatched OB less than a year ago & it hit SO hard with the current attack on bodily autonomy from all sides & the ways the characters found ways to work together even with their often violent interpersonal histories with each other & i'm so glad it's not just me 😭💜

I’m gonna say virtually all authors need to get serious about textiles. Who is weaving them? Out of what? Who’s turning them into clothes and how much does it cost and do you have any idea how HARD all of that was before modern mills

To write in the classic high fantasy mould, you need not be hung up on food specifically, but there must be SOME very mundane thing you're sincerely interested in and prepared to describe in excruciating detail every time it comes up. Clothing. Furniture. Architecture. It doesn't work without it.

"Platner’s first deployment, in early 2005, began at the Abu Ghraib prison complex, part of which the military had rechristened Camp Redemption." missed that detail the first time around!

A watershed piece. America will have have a very hard time becoming less imperialist as long as combat service is sentimentalized and fetishized, when it actually tends to turn men into broken, hateful people, and helps make things like like Trumpism happen. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

I have so many thoughts about these recent plagiarism allegations & the way that these white institutions platform aka tokenize people of color who are willing to perform in certain ways just to then use them as exemplars and tear them down, generalizing to the race in the process...

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

She believes the warning was related to a post about the ICE agent who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis.

if you're cis you need to read about v coding. the Wikipedia article puts very plainly the torture that regularly awaits imprisoned trans women across this country. after that you must do everything you can to prevent your trans comrades and loved ones being snatched for resistance or anything else

No one should mistake that not only did the vast majority of these defendants do *nothing but show up to a protest* but several are trans women who will now spend the rest of their lives being tortured by the state. This was targeted. This was a show trial.
