we're proud neighbors and members ❤️

A while back, I read about a nasty campaign against Bluestockings bookstore from some of their neighbors. So I sat down with one of the store's worker-owners to find out how they're holding up -- and to learn more about how YOU can support queer/feminist bookstores. buttondown.email/charliejane/...

I don’t know the story here but obviously my best guess is “tripped over the cat going down stairs in the dark but still love him to bits anyway”. Photo from my collection, 1958.

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.

I wrote about how Wikipedia has evolved into one of the more reliable sources on an internet awash with junk, AI-generated sludge, and toxic lies. www.forkingpaths.co/p/in-a-sea-o...

In a sea of disinformation, why is Wikipedia so accurate?www.forkingpaths.co Wikipedia was once an unreliable source, used as a tool for advancing biased agendas. Today, it's extraordinarily accurate, a modern wonder in a world defined by disinformation. How did that happen?

"What's your retirement plan?" Death. It's death.

As someone whose plans for the future went from "I should be able to retire at 65" to "I don't know if my body will hold up that long" within the span of the last two years, I urge all of you to remember this.
