A6: If it's not comically intentional like Robin Hood Men in Tights, then it just gets on my nerves. Speaking of, there's your answer. "Time Out! Sorry, bad guys, but I am running out of air. Gotta get pumped." #writestuff

Likewise, the essay "This Is It" by John Ganz @lioneltrolling.bsky.social also inspired my essay. Please also read it. 3/ www.unpopularfront.news/p/this-is-it

Also, hattip to Annalee Newitz whose excellent book Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind helped inspire this essay. Check out the book if you haven't done so already. 2/ wwnorton.com/books/978039...

These three puppies are friendly fellas.

There are some discussions going on in the SF/F genre right now about bad actors pretending to be allies. Sadly, this pattern happens over and over in every human community. News about a person hurting others usually comes out, but until then how do you know? How do you protect yourself? 1/

Have another happy honey bee visiting the sunflowers. #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling #InverteFest I love the fractal symmetry of sunflower inflorescences.

On the plains of Nebraska, a Platycerabos flees from a charging Camelops. While C. hesternus is a fairly well-known former inhabitant of North America’s prairies, Platycerabos dodsoni is known from just one skull from Nebraska and is quite obscure. #pleistocene #sciart #paleoart #platycerabos

At this time of year, I always make sure to look up at high bare branches when I'm birding for Olive-sided Flycatchers. Sure enough, I saw one this weekend on a perch like this! #BirdArt #SciArt #FineArt #Watercolor #AnimalArt

Tonight on #WriteStuff, we discuss using multiple POVs to tell different stories. First question at :05, but first ... who are you? Why are you here?

Kind of feel like it should be bigger national news that the poorest major city in the country is being forced to accept devastating service cuts to our public transit system because PA Republicans actively hate Philly and want to cause us pain

I have a wikipedia page for some reason. I had no part in this but it is extremely cute en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorts_(...

This is my back story. The Jorts Lore, if you will. It’s a pretty funny story actually even if people were upset at the time www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedd...

"Hmm, I don't like the look of these charts."

I have to imagine that for Otis, finding a box that she fits into so precisely must feel the same way it feels for us to find the perfect pair of jeans.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

Cancer treatment update. Worldcon was busy but I made it through! Thank you to everyone who came to see me online. Infusion this week, however, was really rough. Details at the link. And also, I'm less than $1500 away from funding! Please share so I can get there! www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

Yep yep. When I hear this, I hear "I want to do it but I don't like doing it." Then find something you enjoy doing?? There are other hobbies! If I'm any good at writing now it's because I enjoyed it enough to practice in my spare time for years and years

@jessiegender.bsky.social in case no one has said this recently, I appreciate you so much.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

I’ve really made it, now it’s time to sit back and rest on my laurels. Just kidding, look forward to my essay bringing this book into WEIRD+WEIRD=WEIRD coming in a special issue of REDACTED on REDACTED

back home, very sleep deprived, but had a good time meeting folks this week. missed a lot of people i was hoping to catch (it was a lot bigger than i thought!) but will hopefully meet more of you next time. also great to talk some readers, incl. @shortficbookclub.bsky.social. definitely a highlight!

🚨SPECIAL ISSUE alert!🚨 SINNERS, SAINTS, AND HAINTS will open from August 20th to August 31st, for *reprints only!* Guest editors: @edenroyce.bsky.social and Shakeema Smalls. The movie Sinners elevated a genre Black creators have anchored for decades, and we want to show those stories some love!

Puzzle #3 More pet mischief, but now only kittens and in a library. 1000 pieces. Took 2 days. The hardest parts were the kittens themselves. Fur is annoying.

The Animatrix is free on YouTube in the US right now. It's a great collection of shorts and features material from people that worked on Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Aeon Flux, and more. Check it out if you've got 100 minutes to spare. youtu.be/QNVeOWDOvvU

I really wish this movie had gotten more love. Writing this analysis was a pleasure!

#Writestuff What can I say? Buy my book ... you won't regret it.

Tonight on #WriteStuff, we discuss the Hero's Journey ... which we really do have to discuss now and then, if only to refute it. First question at :05 ... but first, who are you? Why are you here?

An incredibly prolific half decade for @lollipopcomics.bsky.social! #WriteStuff
