i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Trump has reduced the size of two national monuments in Utah by nearly 3 million acres. He signed two executive orders that would shrink the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments to less than 10% of their current size.

Here’s the entire toxic nightmare compressed into one minute. You can see the giant smoke cloud drifting toward the predominantly Black areas of DC and Maryland.

I’ve been steadily keeping my currently-reading list at a cool 10 books for a while now. That feels like a good number! We don’t talk about the five books I have paused on storygraph…

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

Nature… whoa. Always trust the beavers

British beavers stop underground station flooding. West London’s Greenford Tube station used to flood whenever it rained heavily. The Ealing Beaver Project got a licence to resettle a family of beavers. The beavers built a dam & the flooding stopped at the station. buff.ly/2qrgh1Z #ShareGoodNewsToo

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

okay there are a LOT of people asking what i thought were easily googleable questions about pitching nonfiction writing. so here is a quick adapted version of a pitch workshop i did at FIYAHCON a few years ago. every good pitch should answer these questions:

Christina Orlando@cxorlando.bsky.social

okay this is a CALL FOR ESSAY PITCHES! I'm looking for freelance writers for Reactor Mag, a long-running SFF website (formerly tor dot com not the publisher). Im the senior editor for book content, focusing on contemporary sci-fi, fantasy, gothic, horror, and genre-defying books. (details below)

That feeling when you fully detangle a sticky hank that you, in your hubris, overestimated would be easy to wind without getting out the swift. ❌ ALWAYS use the swift! Yarn: Cricket: Donegal tweed merino wool yarn Blue and white ceramic yarn bowl (massive) on a gray couch

Adventures in sock knitting! I received a generous gift of random knitting stuff, and I sorted all the double pointed needles tonight. Had to immediately try them out, obviously. I even managed to use stash yarn that has been saved for while now…

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

When I wake up, the other side of the bed is cold and I am a mushroom. My gills expand, seeking Prim’s warmth but finding only the rough strands of a mycelium network. She must have transformed into spores and floated out the window with our mother. Of course, she did. This is the day of the reaping

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet
