I would like to apologize for the recent frequent typos. My hands have not been super cooperative recently. Colder weather + EDS. Whee.

While hunting around trying to figure out how to delete my creator pages on Facebook, I dicovered that I was listed as bigender instead of nonbinary. I don't particularly remember selecting either on their. I wonder if this is similar to FB labeling me Extremely Liberal. 🤷

ChatGPT has killed people with its "advice" and generative AI will continue to kill by providing wrong medical and life information until the companies pushing the systems are held accountable. Generative AI is essentially informational fentanyl. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/w...

Only after the revenge can we pause for some brunch or tea.

We're taking submissions for our annual book/article lists again. Submit your own, tell us about a colleague's work, or put down everything relevant from your press's Spring and Fall 2026 catalogues.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Blocking the bot/AI accounts that try to gain access to creatives as a way to get more genuine art to feed the unethical slop machines. They show up every time I mention that I have finished a project.

In a world that wishes you to be small and quiet, the bravest thing you can do is take up space and use your voice. If you’re in the US, remember to vote early or in a week. It will take all of us, but we are enough.

I finally got the app to work on my phone again! Here's a picture of the new kitties, Poirot and Hastings.

I just turned in edits and final bio/headshot for an anthology. So happy that my little flash fiction piece found a home.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

We need to break up Meta just so they don’t keep licensing Bowie songs for ads

Recently picked up "chili lime" flavored gummies at the dispo... I was expecting them to taste like chili. And lime. They taste like artificial cinnamon and genuine regret.

Hey, #catsky I needed to tell everyone that Poirot, our grey tuxedo cat, knocked the treat jar off the counter, STOOD UP to brace the jar between his hind legs, and tried to unscrew the lid with his front legs and teeth. His little grey cells are very active!

Reminder that if you need the whistles part of this equation, go to linktr.ee/3Dwhistles and we will send you between 100-3000 whistles (more if you need them) for absolutely free in the United States.

I just got my Covid booster. Had the shingles, flu, and pneumonia vaccines a few weeks ago. Vaccines save lives.

I love that I can view the actual historic weather data online for the time and place I am writing about. Now I know that there were notably vivid thunderstorms that week! digital.nmla.metoffice.gov.uk/IO_1c4e4f35-...

One was apparently a professor, and was talking about how he put his anti-AI female students in their place and "won the argument" and the other guy was cheering this on. The thing is, these slopaholics were speaking in the way I have heard 🍇ists speak. It's about causing harm for them.

I currently have tomato soup simmering on the stove. The tomatoes, peppers, basil, and parsley all came from my own garden. The house smells amazing!

When I worked at a diner, I once had a woman angrily tell me she didn't want any eggs with her meal when I took the order. I did not bring eggs. She screamed at me for not bringing eggs. The manager screamed at me for not bringing eggs and cut my shift short. You can't win in service.

I hope a lot of stuff mysteriously ends up in Dropboxes, flash drives, and coat pockets

Exactly

I'm in that strange liminal space where I have just finished the first draft of a story and need to step away for a spell before I edit it, but I also am not ready to start writing anything else.

The cats managed to find their way into the room that houses the router. We briefly lost internet.

My WIP is about a murder of crows interacting with a family of humans. I'm almost finished writing this one. Having cats in the house again is a balm to the soul. #amwriting

Watching a hotel documentary, and the host said that the staff were dedicated to "fluffing their guests" ... I know what that means in American English. I am assuming it means something else in British English?

Our government has entered a new and dangerous era of corruption, leading to a collapse in public trust. Our latest report outlines nine solutions to combat corruption, including a path to restoring campaign finance limits. bit.ly/4hTGOlX

I really need to sort out why the bsky app keeps crashing on my phone, because I much prefer having this social in my pocket than any of the others.

We watched Death of a Unicorn tonight. I had no idea what to expect, as I had only heard the title and hadn't seen a trailer. It was very gory and highly amusing.

Today's audiobook selection is Gilded Suffragists: The New York Socialites Who Fought for Women's Right to Vote by Johanna Neuman. I checked it out for the history, but it was an extra bonus to discover that the narrator is @csecooney.bsky.social !

Delighted to share with you all that the last case heard by the High Court of Chivalry was in 1954, and that it was Manchester Corporation vs. The Manchester Palace of Varieties, and that they had to determine whether the court was still legally extant before they could hear the case itself.

Anyone else noticing the sudden surge of memes and posts about how GenAI=bad but other AI=amazeballs? Dozens of sites and pages wheeling out the same slopaganda in the same week. Trying to use the disability community as a prop claiming we need it, when it's actually gutted remote work. Gross.

No International Election Monitoring + Executions live streamed + Fed enforcement shooting citizens with impunity + Actively trying to dismantle the ICC + Oligarchs controlling policy & receiving staggering amounts of taxpayer $ + Monuments erected to the dear leader = Authoritarian kleptocracy

I’m 72 and I’m here to tell you that the Progressive Democrats are what the Democrats were before the corporate money started flowing into their campaigns! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Moment of pure delight this week: Our new blue tuxedo cat, Poirot, was having so much fun with his wand toy that he grabbed it and haughtily pranced up the stairs with it. Our grey and cream tabby, Hastings, happily followed, swatting at the wand. #RescueCats
