Hurray! Another San Francisco bookstore is following Booksmith's example and pulling Harry Potter books.
From the SF Chronicle:
Fabulosa Books followed suit on Wednesday, June 25.
The queer Castro bookstore shared a picture of a whiteboard to its Instagram account with the message, “We are no longer buying + selling books by J.K. Rowling as she is devoting her life to nastiness.”
The caption thanks Booksmith for “setting a good example.”

S.F. bookstores remove ‘Harry Potter’ over Rowling’s anti-trans fund

This fucking Free Our Feeds bullshit is basically trying to do for Bluesky what Mozilla does for Google.
And guess what, there’s Mozilla’s executive director and president on as custodians alongside two guys from AI companies and the executive director of Meta partner Social Web Foundation.
I’m so bloody sick and tired of bloody Silicon Valley asshats sucking all the oxygen out of the room with their bullshit and I truly hope the folks roped into legitimising it realise this and distance themselves as quickly as possible (you know who you are).

New blog entry: The One About Scallion Pancakes
It's not really about food. It's about the time the Trader Joe's scallion pancakes made me cry and have an identity crisis, but not for the reasons you think.
It was really hard to write.

I can’t even begin to tell you what a massive improvement it is for my mental health that there is now an Indonesian coffee shop near where I live in SF; that PLAYS LAGU GALAU (emo Indonesian music; one of my major music genres!)
It just opened, and.. hearing this music, and this language, around me in a place where I sometimes feel unmoored and far from home, is just a godsend.
EXCLUSIVE: Defense attorneys for the man accused of attacking former SF Fire Commissioner Don Carmignani say the person shown in this video bear spraying a homeless person in the face appears to be Carmignani.
The video, taken in November 2021, is part of a trove of new evidence that has come to light that may link Carmignani to a series of bear spray attacks on homeless people.
These new revelations may jeopardize the case against Carmignani's alleged assailant.
"I would say my client is acting in lawful self-defense," a defense attorney said.
