You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

We know our kids are struggling perhaps now more than ever. I'm proud our bipartisan, pro-kid budget continued to support school-based mental health resources for kids with another $30 million investment so our kids can bring their best selves to the classroom each day.

*tapping the sign since it appears canon discourse has returned*

So a while back, some cool people at WotC were like, Aimee would you like to make up a space guy? and I was like, YES, YES I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE UP A SPACE GUY. and here he is! he's here!

We're rearranging and repotting some of our plants and I just want everyone to know that best bois Aloe Alda and Mandarin Patinkin are still doing well.

I'm reading Haunted Ecologies by @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social, and "Mother's Wolves" is one of those stories that speaks right to my soul.

you might criticize the trump administration or its ICE and other agencies for actions like this but on the other hand, our tax dollars are funding operation after operation that allows masked men like the one here to keep feeling like a big man, and you can’t really put a price on that can you

It’s ok to crowdfund for a phone or a computer or a car. Those are things a lot of people take for granted they can have if they need, & often these are real needs. If someone wants to transparently ask others to support them in getting anything, that’s fine, giving is always voluntary. #mutualaid

perfect timing to have encountered this rebecca solnit quote this morning

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

The best part about fighting a demon is, you can fight dirty. It is necessary and correct. Thanks again to @innerworlds.bsky.social for giving this fiendish flash fic a home! I had a blast writing it…it was almost too much fun 😈

Gonna need 3-5 business days to recover from that last bit holy shit

My department at CU Boulder is hiring BOTH an Assistant Professor of Journalism AND an Associate/Full Professor of Journalism Studies. I am on the search committee for the Associate job. Happy to answer questions or direct you to the right people. Links in this thread.

I wrote this a few years back, and it's about myths and love and selfareliance.

I'd be grateful if you can send links for flash stories where climate change plays a role. I'd like my students to write these kinds of stories for an assignment, but I don't have many models. Thanks!
