Thinking just this week about how I would love another @tananarivedue.bsky.social novel. This is the best news!! 📚💙

A time-aged photo of a bowling team posing behind a display of bowling balls and pins. From left to right, we've got a long-haired white guy making a 'hell yeah!' face and probably hearing REO Speedwagon in his head. Then there's a pretty girl with straight long hair in a pink shirt very consciously doing a posing for a photo face. Then a black guy in a blue polo to prove everyone here is cool, next to the oldest dude on the team with longer hair and a 'stache in a peach-colored bowling shirt. Then a girl with a cute bob and sunglasses in a floral shirt, and finally there's Ed who there isn't a lot to say about. Below the ball display is a wooden sign with tracks for placing movable plastic letters. In the top left it reads 'REDONDO BCH.' and top right is '1975' and between those is the mysterious phrase 'MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY'.

A big day to be a person with zero chill.

I'm watching Best of Both Worlds and I'm glad those Borg kids eventually murdered Shelby on Frontier Day.

Three bumper stickers displayed on a dinosaur mountain. The top one says “I SAW COLOSSAL CLAUDE in the Columbia River Gorge” middle one says “sorry about my driving, I’m thinking about BATS (they’re neat) and the bottom one says “KEEP HONKING! I’m catching up on the long-running urban fantasy webcomic SKIN DREP! Written and illustrated by Kory Bing! Started in 2006 and still going g with over 600 pages to read, updates online every Tuesday at www.skindeepcomic.com!”

"Is there anything else I need to know for watching your cats?"

Me: "When Indalecia says she's a detective, that is sort of a gender thing. But when Caliginous says she wants to be a prince, what she means is just that she'd like to inherit a monarchy."

Glenn: "There's extra kibble in the pantry."

More men would probably read were there not a cadre of billionaire pedophiles and tech bros who need low information voters with limited imaginations to serve as grunts.

Why All Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Are Historians SFF authors are the front-line practitioners who put the fruits of history’s craft into daily practice, sharing it in doses the public can consume, combining, treating, administering, customizing, …

My new Strange Horizons essay is up! With a deliberately provocative title!

WHY ALL SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY WRITERS ARE HISTORIANS
Yes, *all*
And, no, it isn't just for the reason you think...

I've been working toward this one for a while, very excited to share it!

oh i get it now.

eh he's trash and #trek doesn't need him

Gender is fluid, which means it's displaced by an equal volume of whatever is submerged in it.

"We can't even buy weed so why would we vote for the Black woman?"

They don't even realize how they sound....actually, they *DO* know EXACTLY how they sound and they don't care.

I just have stopped believing them. They like being in a racial hierarchy where they get up triangulate their decisions with the mood of white people

They aren’t actually conflicted .

They would rather have this moment of being “smart”

Cool .

The reason white people don't like us calling them white people and always hear an "all" in front of it is because it is blasphemous for us to name their god.

Because whiteness is a religion (not just a religion though) and its god is white people (the collective)

Everyday, Murderbot. Every damn day.

Love mulder and scully filling out the crowd!

Conventional wisdom is a really fascinating phenomenon. We're at the point where "everyone knows" kids were being rushed into inappropriate gender transition.

There are between zero and 10 recorded cases of this happening (depending on your definition of rushed).

a laugh’s the wisest, easiest answer to all that’s queer

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.
