And a very happy day to all who believe we are created equal In dignity, rights, and responsibilities to each other.

Hot take, but maybe the trillionaire should be paying for public transit, air, and rail, and I should just get to go places for free and look pretty.

Please do it for my best friend Aabria she’s been having contractions for 5 weeks straight and keeps shouting “ONE MORE STRETCH GOAL” 😭

@danaterrace.bsky.social Just got the Knights of Gwenevere art book! And there’s so much beautiful art in here! Hats off to you and the crew BECAUSE THESE ART GORGEOUS! These are some of my favorites so far lol. #glitch

I adore Witch Hat Atelier. The anime has adapted the manga so beautifully. It's reignited a love for not only creating art but studying it and its history, so I was so happy when @crunchyroll.com reached out to partner on a commission. Please watch WHA! #crunchyrollpartner #witchhatatelier

Mother to us all.. #okami

This chapter is gonna break me, I know it.

Juneteenth represents a partial liberation. Slavery still exists in America. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery except as punishment for crime, creating a pipeline from plantation slavery to prison slavery. Today we remember those who never stopped resisting, and we take action.

Sketch of Alanna (Tamora Pierce’s Alanna series were my first books that made me love to read, I really dread reading before these books. She gave me a character that was both masculine and feminine, which I desperately needed)

I try to keep this a cheerful feed, but I am so tired of stupid old men with money.

Just listened to the newest Gorillaz album, and I think it fixed me a little. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Forgot that mine and beloved spouse’s favorite ramen place is closed on Mondays, so we tried out a new place, had a decent bowl, and quietly agreed that our favorite place has just spoiled us for all other ramen outside of East Asian countries and their shop.

Difficult times lead to difficult choices, but take heart! No matter how hard things are, you have made the most important choice already: to live with integrity and honor, to be a true warrior. Let that choice guide the choices that follow, and watch as difficult times retreat from your glory.

A month from now, I'll be heading to Colorado for a few bookish events, including a reading/signing on 6/26 in Salida at Benjamin's Bookshop, signing at the Book Club Salida farmers market booth on 6/27, and reading/signing at Narrow Gauge Book Co-Op in Alamosa. Say hi if you're in the area!

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

We ♥️ libraries!

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

"Imagine every human decision – personal, professional, political – tested against one simple question: “If we were in a capsule looping around the Moon, would this be a safe use of our shared life support?” climate scientist Chris Rapley asks.

My BAFTA Champloo fit: a mix of tradition & modern, Japanese & Western, formal & fun. Thanks to Atelier Abene and team for this work of art. 👘♥️

Truly when @maxgladstone.bsky.social & I wrote the book to ostensibly contain the multiverse we did not foresee it finding a mirror in the world of its reception

Has anyone used LitConnect? Wondering what people's experiences have been with it so far when querying their work.

guys, this is how you lose the time war

Agreed.

I want to shake this designer’s hand.

Hi all, its your friendly neighborhood retired therapist here to remind you that the horrors persist and so do we! Have you: -had a glass of water or something liquid that is not caffeinated recently? -used any calming or grounding techniques you like? -eaten a food? If not, do that now. 💜

Happy #internationalasexualityday! I'm happy to be contributing in my own small way to the body of ace representation in media. If younger-me had had access to my books, I might have discovered my sexuality before my mid-30s. My books are a labor of love for my fellow aces... and for everyone!

With only the slightest apology for my language: Who the fuck actually wants these damned data centres?

I'm having a virtual book launch party, and you're invited! I'll be reading from my new fantasy heist with social justice themes, answering questions, and offering a party favor! Register at marieparks.com/launch and feel free to share with friends.

Only 47 hours left to help fund the next stretch goal for the Lesbians In Space audiobook (which I will be narrating). Another short story is in reach: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s... @wctracy.bsky.social

I think we should bring back sphinxes. I think that in order to enter important buildings, like, say, Congress, you should absolutely have to answer a very hard riddle given to you by a tits-out woman who can kill you.

Your periodic reminder that there is a website that lets you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities

If you're looking for something you can do in these times, find something you have in abundance and apportion it in a way that you can give some away to neighbors. Just ask them if they want any, hand it over, and don't take anything in return. A ripple of kindness goes further than you think.

wow VERY impressed there is water and air that is very cool we are super lucky

Thread. I'm begging people to realize how much we've already given in just the past 25 years. I'm old enough to remember when surveillance wasn't ubiquitous and before ICE or the TSA existed. There was even a time when the average cop wasn't kitted out for full on urban warfare.
