Change your gender, become a poet, catapult yourself into the sun. There are no rules. You can do anything you want.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. Itβs always a matter of will not resources.
servant of imperial messaging upset by anti-imperial messaging, more at 11
making robots that look like people is almost always a choice to sacrifice efficient form for the feeling of owning a person
Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago
"They have no shame, do they? They don't even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose that's the final humiliation." - Ghorman senator Dasi Oran, to Mon Mothma as the Empire baselessly justifies another atrocity.
Dress for the gender you want, not for the gender you have
We joke about the Torment Nexus and all that, but...
The truth is science fiction warned us endlessly not to let fear control us.
"Fear is the mind killer"
"Fear is a path to the Dark Side"
etc.
Silicon Valley claimed to love SF, then built a machine to amplify fear as a means to control people.
me to others: it's hard right now. be gentle with yourself
me to me: wtf is wrong with you
You didnβt hear this from us, but the Old English word 'sibb' meant βrelated by blood.β
This is where we get the 'sibling.'
And 'godsibb' essentially meant βgodparent.β
Over time, it came to mean "close friend."
Now it is something we share w/ close friends...
'gossip.'
i think it's worth it to read Lovecraft, and not just because so much horror canon comes from him. his work embodies an extremely specific kind of modern american derangement syndrome, whereby someone can tell Something Is Wrong, but they aim their fear in the wrong direction, i.e. at minorities.
I know inflation is bad but if this pricing is accurate and we can find thirty or forty more, we can take care of this nonsense the old school way
This is how you blurb
tolkien: man I'm sure glad my book about how much industrialization sucks has found its intended audience, dudes who build war machines and want to kill the night sky
With great pride and pleasure I offer you this fiercely optimistic tale, informed by how bad everything sucks right now, beautifully read by christianaellis.bsky.social.

Mood board of my upcoming Space Opera We Sang Down the Empire. It features ephemeral and evocative art of artist Joshua Mays to convey the spritual element of the martial art of sound that is at the heart of the book. There are women of color in space age futuristic background and magic practices.
Hey #DVparty! Hereβs the moodboard for my #SpaceOpera WE SANG DOWN THE EMPIRE.
Washed-up alien musician Nesamma Abbas joins a rebel rock band to take down the Human Empire with a martial art of sound. She must confront her pain, master her powers and choose between revolution or redemption.
Important to understand that many lies are not meant to be convincing. When a schoolyard bully steals your lunch money, he says "that's mine." The absurdity is the point. It's an assertion of dominance. It is to say "reality is whatever I say it is. You disagree? What are you gonna do about it?"
Home libraries are more than books.
When children pass a wall of books and see parents reading, it has the unspoken effect of showing how much knowledge there is to know and how much they don't know.
I recall looking through my mom's books wondering what they were all about and created a curiosity.
Stop buying Brandon Sanderson's books.
i am gesturing at the democrats as well as the republicans when i stare straight into your eyes and ask you if you're tired of these freaks being in charge of you yet
it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like
"A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act."
fuck yeah
you don't make socially relevant/critical art expecting it to magically destroy all the evil in the world, you make it to let conscious people in the present and future know that they're not alone, to preserve our collective memory
