Get my book from a library! I was broke for decades. For more than half of my life, nearly all of my access to literature was thanks to having a library card. Feel no more shame in using yours than you would heap upon me. Libraries kick ass.

Yes, all of this. Use your library! It's an unmitigated good in the world!
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 2w agoSomeone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
Polymarket lets people bet on wildfires. Wildfires that those samepeople could easily set in order to win money on this illegal gambling site. Big Tech is organized crime.

It’s been several days since democratic socialists won primaries in multiple states. We haven’t had diner profiles of their voters the way we got profiles of tea party and maga supporters shoved down our throats for the last 15+ years. The mainstream media is in the tank.
This is what it looks like to take wildlife collisions seriously. There are >40 wildlife overpasses and underpasses with fencing along the Trans-Canada Highway near Banff, Alberta. They’ve reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by 80%, saving human & animal lives while promoting connected ecosystems.
"Two-thirds of planned datacentres in the US are in drought-stricken areas." I start the week with this facepalm-worthy piece of news.

The actual Sarah Jessica Parker fulsomely recommending M. John Harrison's new novel to her 10 MILLION followers on Instagram was not on my bingo card for 2026. But is hugely welcome.
Republicans will NOT make a billionaire contribute to the basic needs of the community BUT they will make the whole community bear the electrical, water, and building costs of a data center owned by a billionaire.

Would love to share a current Forest Service reflection on Juneteenth, but Chief Shultz opted to wish employees a Happy Father’s Day, and Chief Moore’s message from 2024 was removed from the agency’s website. Here’s the @archive.org version of Moore’s 2024 writing: web.archive.org/web/20240619...

It’s about acknowledging the trauma and tragedy that millions endured. It’s about understanding our history—and the significant work that remains to eliminate the scourges of racism and white supremacy forever.
