The Poet Laureate of the UK is famous for his translation of St Gawain and the Green Knight, and Kym once got up on stage, looked him straight in the eye, and then performed this. Unsurprisingly enough, every time they've encountered each other since, he's remembered them.

Booke, booke, Reade a booke, Reade anothir booke, Reade a large amounte of bookes - Bookes are freakinge awesome

"We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words." - Ursula K. Le Guin November 19, 2014

On right now - the @dropkickmurphys.com are up!

you've got a little over a week left

The declyne of readinge ys caused by manye thinges. A huge cause ys a systematic & decades-long devaluinge of literature at all levels of educacioun. We kan not put instrumentalitye above meaninge and still thrive. Fundinge the humanityes ys key to a just societye of well-informed citizens.

The master of the alt text strikes again.

The numbers are staggering: Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters. Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

…Bumping this for the Evening Crowd. 😄

New from me, at @vqr.bsky.social: a few years ago two people contacted me about a TEDx talk I once gave, “The Art of Haunting.” When I replied I’d never given a TEDx talk, things just got weirder. On AI, ghosts, what it means to tell a story, and what Italo Calvino saw coming 60 years ago. Enjoy!

Just ban this shit already.

This sand cat has had it

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them. At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology

In fun and exciting news, our roof has developed a leak! Which has damaged the wood floors! We have had a Roofing Person come out and look, and it is being handled, but if anyone would like to buy a story or two, that would be appreciated at the moment! *deep sigh*

The guy who directed Jurassic Park 3 and the first Captain America movie also did this book about a lil Ewok named Teebo and I think that’s neat

Triple check your status

Unflinching refusal to use or allow the use of A.I. in reading & writing should be the uncontroversial, default position of teachers from K-12 to colleges & universities. If our administrators tell us we "have to" we tell them to eff off. We will not kill the planet's water for systemic plagiarism.

Luke adores his boyfriend, the powerful and kind-hearted witch Primrose. But when Prim attempts a perilous rescue, Luke faces vicious magic and his own fears with Prim’s life in the balance. MM fantasy by K.L. Noone now available from JMS Books! www.amazon.com/dp/B0...

I wondered about it, so I looked for it, and yes, songwriter Jimmy Webb watched Alysa Liu skating to MacArthur Park for the gold.

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

🐮📖 The short features a gag where Clarabell is reading the controversial 1907 romance novel "Three Weeks" by Elinor Glyn & hides it when Horace comes a-calling. That literary joke got the cartoon barred in Ohio 🚫

There's a short story of mine in this month's Queer Sci Fi book pack - free if you join the QSF mailing list! My little contribution is "The Isle of Skiy," which is more sort of fantasy-with-romance, versus primarily romance - and there are sea-people! www.queerscifi.com/join-our-mai... #BookSky

To major yn the humanityes ys to take beautye seriouslye, and such a powerful choice ys much needed yn this worlde.

Gen AI doth remove commitment from art. Yf an artist ys committed to makinge somethinge trulye weirde, even shockinge, that artist doth neede to crafte the art, at everye steppe thinkinge, "Yes, Ich am drawinge a sexy C-3PO." Wyth Gen AI you kan make a sexy C-3PO wythout caringe, and that ys wrong.
