Saying No and refusing to use unethical tools and platforms can be a powerful way to protest.

Do not minimize the power you have by refusing to participate.

Any police officer or judge who knows the First Amendment shouldn't have asked for or signed off on the raid on the Marion County Record and the home of owners Eric and Joan Meyer.

But apparently, police don’t always read the law, and judges may need a refresher.

Poll: 40% of young American women want to leave the U.S. permanently - https://boingboing.net/2025/11/14/poll-40-of-young-american-women-want-to-leave-the-u-s-permanently.html I find that hard to believe; surely it's far more than that... #trump

Hi, Mastodon friends,

I've been busy. I decided to turn that long blog post into a free book.

Once I started working with it, I saw a million ways to improve it and make it more readable, so I think it's better.

I had it professionally proofread, copyedited, and fact checked. Any errors are mine because I had to transfer all the marks to the Indesign document.

Anyone wanna advance peek?

I don't know how to put a PDF here, so it's on the blog page:

Security guards who are ignorant of the origin of a picture think it’s supposedly #demonic. And even if it were, how would that hurt someone? It’s not even a provocative or threatening message.
