Since I've received a decent amount of new followers lately, I should really do a pinned thread of my 2026 publications.

Come be a part of pressuring me into a consistent output, it’ll be fun.

Instead we should focus on which messages, ideas, and visions beyond "we need to beat the far right" have mobilized large parts of society. We should understand the organizational structures behind these victories and acknowledge that they are about more than defending the status quo.

We need to stop always making the far right the subject of political agency and the object of voter decisions in our analyses of contemporary politics. The success of the far right is not inevitable. But single elections do not signal the end of the far-right threat to our democracies.

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

Hello to all my English-speaking followers. I know this text is more than overdue. My mental health has become even poorer due to the Brazilian's elections and the fascist threat that comes with it. But I managed to turn my anger into text somehow. buttondown.com/haileykaas/a...

Realized I was reaching a point where having a newsletter was valuable/viable, so if you want occasional publication updates and short fiction reviews from me, you can subscribe here: buttondown.com/meagankane

i was thinking about this all day today, i think “fedwalking” might be one of the most perfect words invented to describe exactly what it sounds like. i was on the verge of tears the entire time reading this

What are the downstream effects of an ever ballooning police budget that continues to eat away at the general fund completely unchecked? Budgets are our “value statements” as Mayor Frey has said himself; what does it say when we cut Election and Voter Services to make sure MPD gets a blank check?

Also, as I have recommended multiple times: Go vote with someone vulnerable to the voter fraud conspiracy theories. Friends with a trans person who will be under suspicion bc of their ID or a brown person who speaks mostly Spanish? Don't make them go to the polls alone.

always drop everything for a kozma ergot story

pleased to have a flash coming out with @foofarawpress.bsky.social in (likely) January. it's called "Dracula's Got a Gun" because we have fun around here, folks. please make your way to your assigned seats; no late admittance will be permitted (by dracula).

will ONLY post publishing stuff at two in the morning.

we've identified another vulnerability leak. now hackers on the dark web have identified your bad knee and that weird thing your shoulder does if you sleep on it wrong. there's no patch available for this, they're now just keenly aware you feel like your career has stalled out

The hero's journey? 🙅‍♂️ The fuckup's journey? 🤗

Forget it Jake, it’s Jupiter.

Precisely this.

I FORGOT TO POST BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF TOWN WHEN I GOT THE COUNTERSIGNED CONTRACT -- my lesbian scifi noir "Long Haul, Last Stop" will appear in an @adventitiouswords.bsky.social near you as soon as December, potentially. Sagittarius Season, baby.

been recuperating from mild success (which fouls my humors)/trying to enliven my mind enough to write something substantiative by playing blue prince. it’s going uh …

It would be nice if elected Democrats start speaking up about the regime seeking to nullify the will of hundreds of thousands of voters in the city where masked armed agents did street executions in front of cameras

as ever, the concept of biopolitics remains the rosetta stone for undestanding the otherwise-bizarre twists and turns of conservative paranoias

got one of those short story acceptances that you don't dare talk about in public until you get the countersigned contract and are a hundred percent sure it's happening no takebacksies. MAN ... WRITING, HUH???

Ahead of Minnesota’s Nov. 3 election, Sahan Journal is hosting Vote Without Fear, a live community conversation about how to protect your voting rights in a heated election cycle. On Oct. 15, experts and advocates will answer your questions about efforts to keep voting safe and secure.

Coming across a rogue reskeet of a Will Stancil post is like bumping into a leopard in a grocery store. Oh god what’s a leopard doing here. He can’t possibly use the self checkout line. He’s knocking over the Kraft Mac & cheese display, someone call the manager.

So, it's my birthday today, and it'd be really cool to have some folks pass this around or donate!
