Sooooo... P&P is in the public domain. You are an award-winning cartoonist. How long do we have to wait before some keen-eyed press gives us an edition of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, annotated by Trung Le Nguyen, littered with your avatar making comments in the margins?

On the language of Homeric Greek, and the language of a certain forthcoming film: here are a few simple observations.

AI writing is going to be an unfathomably huge issue for SFF short fiction markets. People aren’t even good at it yet, and it’s a problem. As the models get better and the prompters develop more skills, it will be so critical for organizing bodies to protect magazines.

In the replies and discussion related to the Bona Books post on dealing with LLM gen stories that's making the rounds, I am seeing a lot of the same reactions that have rippled through publishers, zines, and slush-reading.

I'm less than halfway through this library book, and so far I have already encountered TWO instances of a previous reader correcting, in pen, "laid" to "lay." They are correct, but...it's a library book.

Possession The Left Hand of Darkness Hild

But. Two of the houses fell, and revealed people dressed as ghostly birds, representing Renee, and Alex. They danced to the Italian antifascist song, "Bella Ciao."

The loon was stunning.

Next came a huge rolling loon puppet. The wings moved. I've included photos from the front and back because I think the puppetry here is part of what's interesting; the guy riding on the back controlled the wires for the wings. It's also a loon in the "loon rampant" pose.

“With SEASONS OF GLASS & IRON, it becomes clear that the bulk of El-Mohtar’s fiction and poetry is in love with these older traditions...” @garykwolfe reviews new work from Amal El-Mohtar

"Unless physical action reflects psychic action, unless the deeds express the person, I get very bored with adventure stories; often it seems that the more action there is, the less happens." Ursula K. Le Guin I felt a kinship with Le Guin, reading that.

I went to the No Kings rally today in St. Paul (SAINT PAUL, THE CAPITOL OF MINNESOTA, NOT MINNEAPOLIS, FOR FUCK'S SAKE PEOPLE) and thought I would share some photos of my favorite signs.

We bombed Iran?! | I need to pay that bill | Kansas antitrans ID law!! | Don’t forget Hugo noms | do we still have Venezuela’s president? | *an email re: book promotion* | I can’t pay this bill | cutting funds to MN?? | I need to check on my friends | timeline fights about doomerism | taxes | REPEAT

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

And now that my last story of the year is out, I can post my first ever awards eligibility post! Story links are on my blog: eleanorglewwe.com/2025/12/19/2...

The title of this new article by >30 deaf and hearing authors says it all "Avoiding unintended consequences: Science of reading policies have potential to harm deaf children" doi.org/10.1093/jdsa...

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

This is Minneapolis. Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

🧵ICE has been in my state for over a month. Yesterday, my family and folks from all over the Twin Cities gathered by the thousands in sub-zero conditions to march and to say in no uncertain terms that we don't want ICE here, that we want ICE to leave. 1/5

Wow. He really spoke in front of the *old* Minnesota flag.

ARE YOU A NON-MINNESOTAN WHO WANTS IDEAS OF STUFF TO DO TO HELP MINNESOTA RESIST FASCIST TYRANNY? Have I got a blog post for you! With additional advice for how to get ready in case tyranny shows up at YOUR doorstep next! naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

I just read about this in Le Monde, complete with video, and then I come over to Bluesky and it's like the second thing I see 😂

Oh, wow, this sounds *amazing*!

Things are to the point where my favorite Chinese-English online dictionary is appealing directly to American users on its homepage to speak up against threats to Greenland and NATO.

REMINDER to send your 2025 original publications of queer speculative short stories (science fiction, fantasy, horror, anything odd and unusual) to We're Here 2025 for consideration - I am the guest editor this year, with the always awesome @cypayseur.bsky.social!! www.neonhemlock.com/were-here

Okay, that's enough of that. A.I. sucks. Think for yourself. Create for yourself. Struggle. Take your time. Do not cede your humanity to an algorithm because it's hard. Make something yourself. It won't be perfect. But it'll be yours. And call your mom.

So, since we have Yet More Discourse going on, I wanna toss out a thing because I keep seeing it come up. Writing is not always fun, and that’s actually pretty normal.

And now that my last story of the year is out, I can post my first ever awards eligibility post! Story links are on my blog: eleanorglewwe.com/2025/12/19/2...

My newest short story, "A Cup of Forgetting," is out in @fantasymagazine.bsky.social! A forest witch, mothers and daughters, and momentous choices... Content warning in next skeet for those who want it.
