Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.
Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

Just saying, it would be kinda rad if a poem I wrote at Seattle Worldcon even just got nominated for the Best Poem Hugo.
A book cover with the title “Children of Owl” and a girl looking up at a mountain with an owl boy prominent in the background.
CHILDREN OF OWL HAS A COVER!!!! With art by Abigail Rajunov, who also illustrated 25 pages of comics in the book. It was an honor to work with her; I couldn’t be happier!! 🥹💕
A good overview of the incompetent and nonsensical (but not unexpected) way DOGE ripped apart the NEH last spring, leading to hundreds of cancelled grants for petty reasons. I'm grateful to @historians.org and co-plantiffs for challenging these actions in federal court.
To reiterate

You know what's awesome? Vids. Which is why I had the best time watching almost all of the 128 Festivids from this year. While I was watching I made a quick doc of my favorites, which I've now posted as 35 vid recs on Dreamwidth. If you also like vids you'll love these. So many fandoms! Such skills!
