Tim Walz: "Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. 'Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid frickin' red hat. What should I say today? I don't know, just make sure it's cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy -- the felon in the White House.'"

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

There is something so fundamentally telling with people who think that “reading a book” and “knowing what the plot is” is the same experience.

All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing. Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases. No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

US friends, there's a short deadline on this request for public comment. Literally TODAY! If you have a moment to write, PLEASE DO. They want to "prevent unnecessarily burdensome requirements from hindering private sector innovation". The implication here is removing Copyright protections.
Karla Ortiz@kortizart.bsky.social · last yr.If you are in any creative or copyright dependent org of any kind, NOW is the time to speak up. You have until March 15 11:59 pm EST to send a note to the WhiteHouse on why we need to follow our current laws. We all lose if tech’s deranged agenda passes. www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...
BREAKING: A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act immediately after we filed our lawsuit. President Trump is not above the law.
This is going to kill many public libraries, especially in rural areas. If you use a public library, you will be impacted. #imls is a dust mote in the federal budget. It also provides things like internet at your local library so people can apply for jobs and kids can do homework.
Kathleen Fitzpatrick@kfitz.info · last yr.This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
