“I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS AN ANGEL HAS VISITED ME IN MY SLEEP AND I HAVE HAD VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE SEX WITH IT,” read the lengthy, all-caps post

They just contacted me for a followup focus group for this - & they said they still need people to take the survey! It's focused on Jin Yong's works but you do NOT have to have read any Jin Yong to participate. Any English translations of Chinese novels works!

They camped at the edge of the path that night. Seated by a merry little fire they had a good supper of barley scones, fourseason plumcake, and rosehip an' almond-blossom cordial.

Not used to having a reaction of joyous elation to AI news. Its hard to get any work done when you're grinning ear to ear. I hope Sam Altman is feeling paralyzing fear as the walls close in on him.

Absolutely incredible news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Lots of suspicious trades in oil/equities just ahead of Trump tweets backing off his ultimatum. Sure looks like somebody close to Trump knew he was about to TACO, and exploited that inside information to make huge, instant profits From @pkrugman.bsky.social: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/treason-in...

Male catkins of Purple Willow (aka Basket Willow, Salix purpurea) looking very, well, purple! 💜 Its leaves are always in (+/-) opposite pairs, unlike other native willows.

Peter McCarty, 2001

the absolute litmus test for every democratic primary needs to be “do you support Supreme Court reform that would replace the current illegitimate majority with a liberal majority, and do you support filibuster reform to get us there”

Call me a radical, but I don’t think we should start wars based on clear hallucinations.

I don’t know what to say anymore. Tearful this morning after reading what the U.S. has done to the sick and ill in Cuba: “Late last night, a report came in that patients on ventilators at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital have died.” Trump is running an imperialist necropolitical regime.

"Princess Celdervinn of Méusine Kingdom" Her parents insisted on a royal portrait of Cel when she was a teen. She really dislikes it to this day. --- Please please please look at the frame it literally took longer than the portrait itself 😭💔 #OC #Art #Cel #KnightsAU #OCsky

Fuck

FYI that I'm eligible for the Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer. While I did a ton of commentary and reporting last year on the SF/F genre and artificial intelligence, I'm most proud of my writings about being a neurodiverse author and my booklet "Tips and Strategies for Neurodiverse Writers." 1/

It's story day! "Bad Doors" is about a man who finds a mysterious door has appeared in his house, realizes he's in a Horror plot, and decides to leave. He's not dying today! But leaving something like this behind doesn't mean it won't follow.

And 20% of all residents of Lebanon have been forcibly displaced by Israel already. In less than a month.

If you sincerely wanted to protect Americans from Islamic terrorism you would not say that civilian Muslims in Iran were fair game.

To celebrate World Poetry Day, I’d like to share my poem “Permian Pastorale” from my collection TIME TRAVEL IS EASY (2025).

Please kill me

Haven't had time to draw lately due to one of my huskies being sick, but she's much better now so I've been slowly getting back into it. This started out as some hand study warm ups ✨ #art #painting #stars #fantasy

If you are in or near L.A. County, PLEASE go adopt a pet if you can. These massive intake events result in many, many loving, adoptable animals being put down.

we can remember that the Trump war is illegal and evil while also remembering that the Iranian regime is evil.

it's a beautiful day to help a neighbor, pet a dog, and say trans rights

Hot take: there is no justification for anyone on the left-liberal side of things to make ethnic insults, ever

I've given it some more thought, and I'm sold on doing a food systems horror and Weird fiction anthology in 2027. There's plenty of strangeness and terror to be found in the growth, production, distribution, marketing, sale, consumption, and disposal of food. Sub call won't be until late this year.

Definitely some kind of art focused UBI/grant program and I’d fund so many animal shelters

Took California less than a day to begin the process of holding people accountable and making efforts to right wrongs. And Chavez was a revered figure! He wasn't some random finance bro pedo from NYC. Funny how the Ivys/prestige universities and the GOP protect Epstein and his buddies at all costs

these are death camps

sometimes I post about the unspeakable beauty I find in imagining a past so different from our present. and sometimes you read about women competitively swallowing live fish

Three years into the AI era, educators say they face a major crisis. Bosses and clients replacing tutoring jobs with AI. Replacing *athletic coaching* with AI. Many students now cannot grasp why they would *not* use AI for schoolwork. And worse. The 5th installment of AI Killed My Job—educators:

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”
