Bugbirds are getting traction on Tumblr again so I thought it would be nice to show them here as well :D One day I want to make a refsheet for them and make an open species officially, so people could have fun and make their own weevil-gryphon-thing

Noting here that a 1 TB Crucial portable is $70 at Best Buy (sticking with DEI, strong statement, put money in the effort) and a 2TB is $120. Also, this archive WILL fit easily on a 256GB or 512 GB flash drive.

this is an illustration I made to better understand the anatomy of the gastor birds in my story "It Holds Her in the Palm of One Hand," which you can find in this month's issue of Lightspeed: www.lightspeedmagazine.com/issues/feb-2...

in case your company uses Google Workspace and is despairing at how Gemini A.I. is getting pushed into everything—fear not! Slate's indefatigable IT chief embarked on a successful journey to get it removed from our end and wrote a detailed guide for the curious: slate.com/technology/2...

ARGH. Y'all, I've been off Facebook for years, but apparently there's a fake account that's been approaching publishers and trying to chat. I reported it ages ago, but clearly Zuck is too busy fashturbating to fix his mess. Please spread the word: this ain't me. www.facebook.com/nkjemisin1
