We desperately need to get away from arguments for the humanities that elevate them because of what they do for technology. The humanities should not be understood as service disciplines. They are an extension of us, and that is enough.

It exists! I interviewed backup dancers, producers, the costume designer, the song’s producers who granted the rights, and so many more who were involved: web.archive.org/web/20240227...

Our worth should never be tied to our health or our economic productivity. Disabled people deserve housing, healthcare, food and support. These things are basic human rights and should be provided to everyone.

If you think wearing a mask is “too hard”… you really won’t like living with chronic illness. If you think people will judge you for taking precautions… you won’t like the treatment you receive when disabled. Protect your health & the health of those around you.

i just think it’s really sad that we just accept greenwich mean time and never think about greenwich kind time

"I look forward to proving my value in eight to ten rounds of interviews for this highly competitive role."

pretty sure everyone who follows me know this but if you support JKR/HP, get the fuck out. if you're transphobic, get the fuck out. if you support trad pub books that are reskinned fanfics of HP, get the fuck out. (yes this is in light of the new 7 figure HP fanfic deal that was announced) #BookSky

"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next." this whole missive will make you want to stand on your desk and yell "O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!," but that bit really got me good

Reposting this again to boost, and to see if anyone has any suggestions? #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthors

For centuries they were thought to just be scratches in the marble, perhaps structural damage from earthquakes. In 1964 it was determined these markings weren't random but writing: the Hagia Sophia bears Viking Era graffiti, runes that say "Halfdan was here." #WyrdWednesday

Hey author pals, question on using quotations and copyright: I've got two quotations in my newest historical WIP. The first is a poem by John Donne published in 1633. The second is three lines from a speech J.M. Barrie gave in 1922, which I was hoping to use as my epigraph. (more below ⬇️)

The American dream has always relied on violence, exclusion, and control. It was state policy when George Washington weaponized disease and starvation and ordered the destruction of Native American villages, and it's the same imperialist policy passed down through time to this day.

COVID is not “just a cold.” Even mild or asymptomatic infections can cause lasting health effects, damaging blood vessels and organs, affecting the brain, and weakening the immune system.

Me and my respirator doing that thing where we dodge the stuff in the air.

everyone stop being an evil piece of shit challenge oh my god

I hate that the debate we are constantly having in the 21st century is "we have to let the most evil fuckers alive do whatever the hell they want VS no we don't"

✨TITLE REVEAL!!✨ A REBELLION OF RAVENS is the sequel to A TEMPEST OF RAVENS, and it’s coming this summer 🪶✨⚔️🐺🌊 I can’t wait to share more very soon, but here’s a short plot summary to give you a teaser 😌

The Rift, 2023

refusing to participate in corporate bullshit as a consumer is only ONE of the ways you can fight for a better world, but it is not only real and effective, it opens up your imagination to getting your material needs met outside of capitalism and/or strengthening your local economy

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

I think posts that contain AI images and video should have to be clearly marked as such, and have a system tag… and users should be able to opt out of seeing all AI tagged posts.

I didn't save this tweet but somebody did and it feels worth resurfacing

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Just as the covid conscious community has been saying for years...

now that i’ve seen lord of the rings, i can truly appreciate all the memes

Disabled people are not expendable. The elderly are not expendable. Children are not expendable. Worth should never be tied to economic productivity. If we protected the most vulnerable in society, everyone would be better off.

My favorite part of reading is when a book gets so good you have to set it down, (finger marking the page), and just let your mind be blown for a minute before picking it back up again.

All righty -- this year's writerly resolution is live, should you care to read it. The tl;dr is it's actually quite an optimistic read, so hopefully it'll give you some juice to kick open the new year and put words to stories that need to be told.

repost to give those 2 or 3 followers who always like your weird posts a little forehead kiss & a grilled cheese cut diagonally

This goes for all the people who are still refusing to mask, in this the year of our lord 2026, SIX YEARS into an ongoing airborne plague because "I might get funny looks" or "but then I'd have to skip brunch"

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

When we plead with you to wear a mask, we’re trying to help. We understand that repeat Covid infections can lead to disability and death. We understand that the government told us to go “back to normal” for the economy, not because it was safe. An N95 is a great way to safeguard your health!

That Siegfried Sassoon sure could write 'em (when he wanted to).

EVERYBODY GO CELEBRATE NICOLE SHE FINISHED HER BOOK!!!!!!

"I love your art but I hate your politics." Tough shit, kiddo. I'm a full course meal. You don't get the dessert without the main course.

I am *very* close to having the best sales month of the year, if anyone is looking for a wintry read where you're kept warm by female rage in a character-driven epic feminist fantasy, I hope you'll consider my debut, Blood Price! #BookSky #QueerAdultSFF 🌈📚 linktr.ee/thoughtsstai...

Did I meet my reading goals? Not even close. Did I read consistently? Negative, commander. But did I dive into a genre I love even more (sci-fi horror) and fall in love with a completely new genre (dark romance)? You betcha. Reading wrap-up is live! inkstainedthoughts.beehiiv.com/p/yearly-wra...

100% this 👇 Though with at least half of all covid cases exhibiting zero symptoms (still contagious, still a risk of long covid, including brain and organ damage) we should all be masking whenever we share indoor air with people outside our household, even if we feel fine.

Remember, masks aren’t just for Covid! They also help protect against colds, flu, measles, RSV and more. They guard against pollution, wild fire smoke and pollen. A well fitted respirator can keep you healthy while also protecting those around you. It’s radical community care.

This is exactly how I picture anyone who uses AI of any kind.

We really need to bring back a focus on reading comprehension
