What are you reading this weekend?

Wait, is Agenda 47 a Hitman reference (I know it's also the # president Trump'd be if he won a non-consecutive term)? I feel like this is not a coincidence, but maybe I spent too much of my youth around gamers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_47 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_47

I tell people a lot that we already live under Project 2025 here in Alabama. Despite the perception, AL is NOT a poor state, it is just a state full of poor people, with a power structure that uses legislature and policing to make sure those on top keep the profit and control.

Devastating news. 😢

Also, if trolls are trying to pit different marginalized groups against each other on this platform, let’s work together to root those fuckers out. I have to believe that at the end of the day we all chose to use this app because we want better for ourselves and each other.

The anti-Blackness on this site is omnipresent and uncontrolled, and it keeps getting worse. And every time it gets pointed out, white people keep deflecting to another marginalization they experience. But Black people still aren’t safe just being Black here. That’s that on that.

So, the essay I had to write this past week for one of my history classes was on the topic: "Is political violence ever justified? Why or why not?" Yeesh.

Hey y'all, if you are feeling panic right now I hope you can find a way to disengage. Nothing you can post on bluesky in the next hour is going to change November. Watch some TV! It doesn't even have to be Tudor horse man show! 💖

Back to reading Year of Wonders because, somehow, the Plague is less distressing than the news.

YES @moryan.bsky.social is now the Vice President of Tudor Horse Man Bluesky I'm also the Vice President, obviously the President is the horse

did a mental cleanse by watching Ep 1 of My Lady Jane, it is as CW coded & bonkers as @mostlybree.kitrocha.com said it would be, this site will now primarily be a place for janeheads to talk about who on this show is hottest/most likely to commit treason/have sex in a tavern/turn into an actual fox

Popping on to say: A lot of rumors are about to fly about this rally. Trump's team is 100% going to try and take advantage of this situation. So will malicious foreign actors/bots/etc. Please don't auto share. Check your sources, and vet their wording/sourcing carefully.

Declaring people to be vermin, enemies of the state, or un-human is the sort of language people adopt before they pursue a genocide.

“We will hold investigations to identify the neo-cultural Marxists in seats of power all across Washington,” Posobiec said. “We don’t negotiate with un-humans. Because that’s the stakes of this battle: humanity versus un-humanity.” inthesetimes.com/article/nati...

If you need help pitching an oped you can email me lollardfish at gmail and I will help. I will do it for free because I think more experts, writing and accessible ways for the public is a fundamental good.

Junior Scholars: Project 2025 is now breaking through to public consciousness. The more people learn about it, the more they hate it. Now is a great time to search that website, go to the section of your expertise, and write an oped. Keep the drip of bad news for them coming, all the way to Nov.

My consulting firm specializes in training scientists how to talk to the public including writing op-Ed’s. I will waive my fee for any who can’t pay, and will happily review any draft op Ed’s or op Ed pitches about this.

A NYT "breaking news" email about Pelosi suggesting that Biden should reconsider running but nothing on the articles of impeachment for Thomas and Alito submitted by AOC. Funny that.

I'm 1 ep into My Lady Jane and it is so extremely my shit. LOL A Tudor-adjacent show hasn't gone so hard since Reign, but this one's just like "a witch detective agency is boring, what if instead of protestants/catholics we had SHAPESHIFTERS. now Jane is married to a horse-man your move" flawless
