This is the right energy.

I'll be at the Texas Book Festival in Austin this weekend doing a panel with @scalzi.com!

Vote. Anyway. Our government is a terrorist org. Voting is how we fight it.

We’re getting multiple reports that independents in Chester County, Pennsylvania (a Democratic-leaning area) have been left off the voter rolls. They’re being told to fill out provisional ballots, the same ones MAGA often tries to claim shouldn’t be counted.

Buckling now would make this entire painful endeavor worthless -- pain for pain's sake, without value, without resolution. So if one of these senators is yours, yell at them not to buckle.

I heard that Saruman just endorsed Cuomo for NYC governor. Who else?

Tomorrow is election day! Prop Q and several constitutional amendments are on the Austin ballot. Here are our endorsements.

Breaking my heart is what you’re doing, America. Before Nov 2024, I sincerely thought we were better than this. I am too old to be disillusioned like this. It hurts.

Emma Thompson to A.I.: FUCK OFF. Now THAT’s good writing.

Feeding America has a page where you can input your zip code and it'll show you all of the food banks near you overlaid on a map. If you need it, it's there. If you don't need it, think about donating money if you have it and your time if you don't. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

Ooof.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

Shout out to all the women who wrote under male pseudonyms during the so-called golden age of Sci-fi.

"If a book told you something when you were 15, it will tell it to you again when you’re 50, though you may understand it so differently that it seems you’re reading a whole new book." Happy birthday to Ursula K. Le Guin, born 21st October 1929

Resistance is beautiful.

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

Good info. Stay safe, Texas (etc) sisters.

I think this statement could be expanded, replacing “policy” with bigger words like societal, moral, existential and then fitting the consequences of that failure into spec-fic world building.

Looking into this.

I love the joy of this resistance.

An audio recording Timothy Synder reading On Tyranny. It’s less than 5 minutes long for the whole book (abridged). Well worth the time to listen to.

Excellent way of putting it.

I love wrens.

One of those should I laugh or should I cry things. Team Portland.

My reward to myself for finishing this editing project today will be a long walk where I can finish listening to Stephen King's Duma Key on audiobook. It helps to have goals.

Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein were likely neurodivergent. Imagine if you could go back in time and “fix” them. Yeah, you can miss me with the eugenics bullshit.

I adore this concept.

I don't want to cure autism. I want you normies to accept that your way of thinking isn't the only way that works.

It’s Vivian Stephens’ birthday! One of the most important romance editors of the 80s along with Kate Duffy and Carolyn Nichols, here are five books that she had a role in that you should know about.

I’ve been tracking my dreams for a couple of months now — jotting them down as soon as I wake up and thinking about interpretations throughout the day — and I think it’s actually helping me work through some stuff. Who knew. (Other than every therapist ever.)

Republicans control the House, Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency.

I wish people would stop fixating on causes and cures for Autism and neurodiversity more broadly. It's time people listen to us, especially Neurodivergent people of color, women and others who are often excluded. Let actually Autistic and Neurodivergent people take the lead. This shouldn't be hard.

The word “autism” was first used to describe behavioral differences in children in 1911 but autism has been documented using available records going back to the 1700s (definitively) and further. Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) was discovered in 1878 and first sold in the United States in 1950.

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system
