The threat was loud and clear: Report your so-called “DEI” employees or else. What exactly “DEIA or similar ideologies” means is up in the air, but the message was out there. And so was the email address of the DEIA snitching hotline. Fake emails quickly started to roll in. ‘I don’t care, fuck these McCarthyite bastards,” one BlueSky user said, with an screenshot attached of an email to the hotline where he ironically reported Donald Trump and JD Vance for being “put in their positions solely because of their race and/or gender despite the fact that they are wholly unqualified for their jobs and, in some cases, have criminal records.” “Anyone have a script to fire off a billion e-mails an hour??” another user asked in the replies. “Anyone can email anything of any size even if it crashes the site,” one X user noted. The scope and effectiveness of this latest phase of Trump’s anti-DEI crusade remains to be seen.

Just to say Ynys Môn, my book about Arthurian/Mabinogi characters reincarnated on modern-day Anglesey by an immortal Myrddin as a bunch of somewhat aimless 18 year olds, is now available a bunch of non-Amazon places! Thanks Draft2Digital! (It's also still available as a physical book on Amazon, though the price has changed because otherwise there would be basically no royalties). Publishing through them also means you can request your local bookshop or library stock it

For those who are interested in that sort of thing, the main trio are all some flavour of queer (bi, nonbinary, aro)

the pistachio food trend is soooo interesting because it's like. i've been following the californian pistachio water politics for years, as a californian with personal connections to agricultural workers but! basically there's been a big push in california agriculture over the last decade to pressure farmers to produce pistachios, because iran has dominated the global market in pistachios for decades, and the US government has been trying to weaken iran economically, so they want to make california pistachios a competitor. which is ridiculous, because california's agricultural infrastructure is suffering under a drought, and pistachios take insane amounts of water. so a ton of water is being redirected from the people in order to engage in a trade war with iran over fucking. pistachios.

anyway now that the US (i.e. california) is producing more pistachios than iran, the next step is to drive consumption of pistachios, so that the farmers who are producing these pistachios can continue to make money on them. ergo all the fancy pistachio coffees at starbucks and similar shit like suddenly being able to find pistachio butter in grocery stores when five years ago it was exclusively available at specialty stores and online, and the huge boom in pistachios foods in instagram and tiktok recipe content. like i watch a lot of instagram foodie reels (cooking/baking is one of my hobbies) and these get thrown onto everyone's feeds, to promote the purchasing of pistachios, so that the US can stick it to iran. it's. kind of incredible to watch this happen in real time, because it sounds like deranged conspiracy thought, but like. i've been watching this trend for the past decade and it's fucking real.

anyway one of the vegan recipe accounts i follow just posted like five pistachio-based recipes in a row and it makes me feel some kind of fucking way

In honor of Day of the Dead, here’s a repost of my comic about the San Francisco Columbarium and the man who spent 26 years restoring it.

This comic originally appeared on Medium at The Nib. Go check out my other work there.

Joe Biden and Barack Obama, who campaigned on closing the illegal U.S. Navy-operated concentration camp 400 miles off the coast of Miami, had 12 years to do so. Instead, Biden expanded it and paved the way for Trump to turn it into an even larger concentration camp.

I feel like the Academy deciding to "rebuke" Trump by giving a bunch of Oscar noms to Emilia Perez on the grounds that its a "trans, Mexican movie", even though almost everyone seems to hate it, including trans people and Mexicans most of all, is a neat encapsulation of white liberalism.

Neurotypical people have a secret, special way of saying "...okay." that saps all the joy from your body and makes you feel like an idiot, and they love to use it when you show them something you're really, really excited about
