    We have failed to share this world well with the other creatures who live here, and it's time to repair that. Help restore habitat. First place you can affect and help fix this are your awful, wasteful, monoculture lawns. Let them go wild. Weedy. Weird.

    This didn’t seem to get much attention with everything else that’s going on, but it’s astonishing. Around *a quarter* of the population of Africa is now automatically banned from traveling to the US, simply because of where they were born

    Following up on a previous Tweet. This Atlantic article was written yesterday morning or afternoon and almost predicts what happened. A new system, run by volunteers with new technology. What could possibly go wrong?

    I wrote about the caucus app fiasco and how this is what happens when you move fast, break things and bring the startup idea of "minimum viable product" to...the integrity of the democratic process

    Ten years ago today, The Lancet retracted Andrew Wakefield’s fraudulent 1998 article claiming the MMR vaccine caused autism. He performed procedures on children unethically, paid kids at a birthday party to give him blood samples, and doctored data. He still claims he was right.

    Is there another genre which is expected to hobble itself and only depict perfect relationships and people when it can powerfully express human internal psychology and the complexities of relationships? *ANY* other genre expected to stop doing the things its best novels did??

    Tomorrow is release day for one of my most anticipated books, UPRIGHT WOMEN WANTED by . Queer. Librarian. Spies. On horseback. I am not just recommending this. I am shoving it on my derby friends. If the dedication page is going to break me, they get broken too.

    wrote the kind of show she wanted to star in, the kind of show that doesn't exist anywhere else. It only got two seasons, but it GOT THOSE TWO SEASONS. It showed us who she is as an actor AND a storyteller. She compromised nothing. That's success.
