CHILDREN OF OWL HAS A COVER!!!! With art by Abigail Rajunov, who also illustrated 25 pages of comics in the book. It was an honor to work with her; I couldnโt be happier!! ๐ฅน๐
A good overview of the incompetent and nonsensical (but not unexpected) way DOGE ripped apart the NEH last spring, leading to hundreds of cancelled grants for petty reasons. I'm grateful to @historians.org and co-plantiffs for challenging these actions in federal court.

You know what's awesome? Vids. Which is why I had the best time watching almost all of the 128 Festivids from this year. While I was watching I made a quick doc of my favorites, which I've now posted as 35 vid recs on Dreamwidth. If you also like vids you'll love these. So many fandoms! Such skills!

This is kind of tangential, but when my Food Not Bombs was trying to get money to give away diapers we went to the adult baby diaper lover subreddit and asked them for cash. They fully funded our diaper program for several weeks.

Black women are 90% Democratic... and Black men are 80%.
If the rest of the country shared our politics, we could HAVE social democracy and an actual left. Centrist Dems would be the conservative position!
