- Trying to finish this book feels like the Charlie Day murder wall but instead of smoking cigarettes I've got a Lebanese kofta kebab dangling from one hand and a vat of tea in the other and the cat is trying to add her 2p by sitting on the keyboard

Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Reposted by Maya Evan MacGregor / Eamhair MacGriogairI love it when you complain about the price of food and people say "just meal prep 7 days of boiled chicken cubes!!!" because whether it works or not you are advocating for an existence that would have a medieval peasant grabbing their scythe

Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

'I’m not sure I can see how we exist three years from now.'” If an ICE official can see there being a world without ICE, there's no reason any of us shouldn't be able to do the same thing. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
- Reposted by Maya Evan MacGregor / Eamhair MacGriogairNEW: Minnesota's top federal judge says ICE has been violating court orders repeatedly — detaining noncitizens or rushing them to Texas despite judges' commands. He wants ICE's director to answer for it "personally," and could level contempt sanctions. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

- Reposted by Maya Evan MacGregor / Eamhair MacGriogair📣 New novel announcement: ANNA DREAMS OF A DEAD REVOLUTIONARY is coming from @tinhouse.bsky.social in 2028. When people ask what it's about, I say it's like SOUR CHERRY, except the haunted house is Greece, and Bluebeard is fascism. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈✊ Keep writing your queer, trans, antifascist books, friends.
- Reposted by Maya Evan MacGregor / Eamhair MacGriogairThe Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

- Reposted by Maya Evan MacGregor / Eamhair MacGriogairI've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.
- Fantastic thread. Minneapolis is embodying the true meaning of “love thy neighbour”
- Reposted by Maya Evan MacGregor / Eamhair MacGriogairNational media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

- Reposted by Maya Evan MacGregor / Eamhair MacGriogairSouth Minneapolis, I just woke up with my eyes burning, from all the gas on the other side of town, so we need to be paying attention to this too
- The author disabled quotes.I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago but sending links and videos to people so they know to avoid the green gas (zinc chloride). Once a lab steward, always a lab steward. Seriously, I was a chemist twenty years ago, you do NOT want heavy metal toxicity. It fucks you up in weird ways.

- I managed a big word day today, and I am so excited to get this book MOVING. It is also SPICIER than I expected it to be. I am OKAY WITH THIS. Genre: fantasy horror with a twist of gothic-flavoured romance between human trapped in house and the otherworldly fox-that-is-not-a-fox in the floorboards
- This is Tara. She joins me every night whilst I brush my teeth and sits in this exact spot. It is our nightly routine before she gets her milseag (dessert/pudding aka Dreamies) and tucked in I always wonder if she thinks I’m purring because of the electric toothbrush
- It’s been a while since I’ve written a book that took so much out of me to just get on paper. I super hope this one is worth it. I’m struggliiiiiing. 😵💫

- Reposted by Maya Evan MacGregor / Eamhair MacGriogairAs I said recently in The Guardian: "Despite their hopes to the contrary, anti-trans campaigners have not won the hearts and minds they believed the Supreme Court would give them" So they turn to this; desperate, fascistic calls for the destruction of those they hate (framed as ideas, not people).

- Reposted by Maya Evan MacGregor / Eamhair MacGriogairWhen we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
- This slots into a wide discussion (beyond AVs) about “can AI do XYZ”, primarily in the sense that humans have expert bias about billions of processes we perform without conscious awareness of the complexity of our day-to-day manoeuvres and accounting for infinite variables/adapting to novelty

- Reposted by Maya Evan MacGregor / Eamhair MacGriogairthis is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

- Sooooo much art, fancy special editions, a replica of an alchemist’s wand, and a special pendant of a wolf and a swan. And I’d love to do a keepsake box of actual wood with a hidden compartment for a magical object. 👀

- Most profound writing I read in 2026 was "The Emotional Labor Behind AI Intimacy" by a Nairobi man who dreamed of working in air traffic control but instead winds up sexting & chatting w ppl who think they're talking to AI (while AI trains on him). 16 pages & free - READ IT data-workers.org/michael/
