I always thought when it was time for a mid career change of profession there would be professions left.

It's good to see that Zach Woods has only become more powerful and based with time.

Khaaaan! Had a great time talking with Naveen about voicing the iconic character.

Hello! I know I'm super late to the party but I've created an Instagram account! Give it a follow if you want any of my sweet book, TV, and pneumatic tube content. 😎 www.instagram.com/vanessaarmst...

We’re 89 paid subscribers away from our September goal. In the last 24 hours, our exclusive reporting has been cited by CNBC and the Hill. Back indie news.

Another #dragoncon in the books. Tenth one for me and Jon, kiddo’s fourth. She even got to go on stage for a cosplay contest, which made her night. Jon also performed, of course.

There's one outlier Hari Seldon has always feared... Reactor's @vanessa-armstrong.com spoke with Jared Harris about Foundation season three, Seldon's ultimate villain, and the two paths his character has taken. #Foundation reactormag.com/interview-ja...

Working on something related to this…

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Excited that @tvcritics.org recognized Sesame Street for the gem that it is, and that none other than Elmo accepted the award! (Note, however, that Elmo did not thank Rocco for the show's success.)

Join us on September 25th!

The monsters in #alienearth are many, and Noah Hawley talks about some of them

The Enchanted Greenhouse is “a balm, a book that cradles a hurt heart by bathing it in beautiful imagery, delicious descriptions of food, and loving characters—some of whom are sentient, talking plants.” @vanessa-armstrong.com reviews Sarah Beth Durst’s new fantasy! reactormag.com/book-review-...

convinced half the appeal of Strange New Worlds is the alluring fantasy of a supportive workplace with a caring and inspiring boss

Had a great time interviewing some of the creative folks behind this week's #StrangeNewWorlds murder mystery episode for @indiewire.com! Lots of fun (spoilery) details inside, including a certain moment in the ep was originally meant to happen in an earlier episode. Check it out below! #StarTrek

Strange New Worlds is going to end up being GenZ’s The Mummy, in terms of being the thing that turned everyone bi.

My eye twitched at this, recalling personal past horrors of my own

The new Murderbot short story is up at Reactor Magazine: reactormag.com/rapport-mart... Edited by Lee Harris, art by Jaime Jones.

The journey of the sun across the sky is a fraught one–and who can attest to that better than Dawn, Day, and Dusk? @vanessa-armstrong.com spoke with Terrence Mann, Lee Pace, and Cassian Bilton (+Laura Birn!) about what lies in store for Foundation season three! reactormag.com/foundation-t...

excuse me wut this is so cringe and also so circa 2012 and also bad worldcon should feel bad

Enjoyed talking with Pilou Asbæk about taking on The Mule for #Foundation! He also swears that, his acting roles aside (see: Game of Thrones, Overlord), he wouldn't hurt a fly. Read the whole interview on @reactorsff.bsky.social

or, now hear me out, you could just... talk to people

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Here's the proof: Republicans are only looking out for their millionaire and billionaire friends – and they're willing to gamble with your lives to pay them off.

A new issue of Genii magazine is out! Had a blast editing the issue with my colleagues. Into magic? Check out geniimagazine.com for more!

Carlos has lived in Burbank for 20 years. He has five children. He worked as a contractor and was literally run down by ICE at Home Depot because of the color of his skin. Please give if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

appears that the line is going to be that the war powers act lets trump do this. hearing it from a lot of people on tiktok who i am certain have never thought about that law prior to this evening

An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

This is even more hopeful than you might think - on today’s very timely @podsaveamerica.crooked.com, I talk to @chenoweth.bsky.social about their 3.5% rule - the finding that nonviolent protest movements haven’t failed when 3.5% of the country is engaged. One of the best convos I’ve had this year

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Kiddo and I made a cool sign today #nokings

Reporter: I'm going to show you what 20,000 people in the streets of downtown Los Angeles looks like

You heard the Captain: NO KINGS IN AMERICA! #NoKingsDay

Look at downtown LA right now

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Sen. Padilla about to speak now.

Proud that Alex Padilla is my Senator.

Should add that it was so much fun working on the original list with the other writers — here's everyone who I could find on Bluesky, thank you again! @vanessa-armstrong.com @clintworthing.bsky.social @alexiskg.bsky.social @spencerdukoff.bsky.social @marysiroky.bsky.social @bryankress.bsky.social
