The tiny compass that suction-cups to your dashboard.

I was there. We were excited. Nobody had to pressure and cajole and gaslight us to get us to use it.

I’m sorry to report Kagi just failed a test that I ridiculed Google AI about.

Turned the post into a blog, because it's always exciting to get the chance to explain how unions work aftermath.site/magic-the-ga...

**I will be opening to queries on Monday, June 1 until I reach 100 queries** During this time, I will ONLY be accepting queries for queer romance with magical elements. Think Sangu Mandanna, Sara Raasch - romance + grounded/very low fantasy. Let magic enhance love, and make me swoon. #amquerying

Roses are redde Noble are the manatees For a bettir future Teach artes and humanityes

some of you may think this stuff is corny or sappy, but this is me being sincere. I say this stuff because I have felt what it is to be on the other side; I have the perspective of someone who occupies an array of spaces in publishing. these are not platitudes. these are the embodiments of hope.

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

It’s just a joke dude. It’s just one of the most digestible and powerful forms of persuasive rhetoric my guy

FIYAH is going on hiatus. More here:

Magic’s story team has had a subscription to FIYAH for over a year—it was a no-brainer considering the consistently brilliant, innovative stories from both new and established writers they put out. I hope to see them back soon

This hurts to see. FIYAH is absolutely amazing and I have so much respect for the life changing work they do.

Oh, this is heartbreaking. Pick up an issue of FIYAH, if you can. They've been doing beautiful work and will be missed

This breaks my heart. Fiyah published my first story and stands as a beacon, a Northstar in Black Speculative Librration, dreaming ourselves into Afrofuturism. A spiritual lineage with @shereereneethomas.bsky.social DARK MATTER. An inspiration to Voodoonauts. This is a loss.

Difficult post, but past time to rip the band aid off. FIYAH is going on hiatus indefinitely, with issue #40 currently set to be our last for the time being. The mag cannot continue running at a loss, and needs time to reassess operations from top to bottom if a viable path forward is to be created.

Huge loss for our writing community. Reminder to please please support litmags

Very good headline

I know it seems incredibly obvious to most of the people I hang out with on here, but sometimes it is worth saying to local government staff, "You can ask the question of whether a data center is the highest and best use of your community's resources."

I don’t know what to tell you, man. I’m a medieval historian, and, in my field, if you don’t check your sources (and your sources’ sources) you are just asking to be taken for a ride by some bored 19th C. aristocratic English antiquarian with a penchant for inventing history.

Imagine being stressed out about life and the state of the world and then you walk outside to clear your head and see this

Piper J. Drake was one of the coolest people in every room she was in. She rocked a steampunk cosplay so hard people would stop and stare en masse in the hotel lobby. She was smart and funny and expansively welcoming. May her memory be a blessing. 💕

Hey internet! You know how you love to be mad? Well now is a great time to put that skill to use and contact the FCC.

If unions didn't work, owners wouldn't spend ungodly sums to make sure their shops aren't unionized.
