fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

I am late to the party but I have read @ekjohnston.bsky.social's SKY ON FIRE and hello yes I would like to adopt Morgan, she's a prickly cat of a scientist learning how to Person and she's perfect, that is all.

Isn’t this just backstage in musical theater?

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

This is Correct.

How does it feel to be an Iranian right now? 🧵

Hi it is my birthday, please do something to support the freedom to read ❤️ Ilovelibraries.org + Call your reps to oppose the federal book banning bill HR 7661: reps.fyi

Idk man.

Science is good. We should fund it.

THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

This whooooole thread (and also thank you Tamora Pierce for this and much more):

I hate this SO MUCH ARGHHH.

Outtakes from the cover of This Is How We Lose The TIme War.

We choose it 🌏

NJ folks, my congresswoman and Senator Kim had voicemails but I got through to someone at Senator Booker's office (with a very rambly panicked message oops) so it seems like he needs more calls.

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

The NASA person who was just being interviewed on the livestream wearing a moon t-shirt is now one of my new favorite humans ever. 10/10 no notes.

I like how NASA is using this mission to do a little PR on behalf of the value of distinctly human observation in the scientific process.

Artemis II today.

"It corrupts the youth--" My Brother in Christ, the youth are watching the entire government shuffle their feet while a babbling racist bombs Iranian children. You want to stop bad influences? Ban war. Don't let sex criminals be president. Fund school lunches.

So exciting!!!

It's fine I'm just crying about space and the way humans do amazing things and use it to remember other humans, it's so fine.

Had to deal with NJ Transit?

You get assigned some stories. You pitch others. This one, I wholeheartedly chased. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

I know a lot of us are excited about the Artemis launch today, so just wanted to share this: I have a book coming out in 2027/2028 on H.S. Tsien, one of the members of the Suicide Squad, and a co-founder of JPL. All I can think is how excited they would have been for today.

Yeah that’s cool

I just finished Emma Donoghue's LEARNED BY HEART and I am once again asking for historical sapphic yearning YA manuscripts, agent friends!! #MSWL

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

What a writer thinks ISN’T political is always a huge tell. Even something as straightforwardly man vs nature as To Build A Fire is about toxic masculinity—“Any man who was a man could travel alone.”

Genuinely died laughing at the Jeopardy clue today that went to the Catholic priest, the answer was "romantasy," and he very confusedly said "fan fiction?" Incredible sequence of words, truly.

Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹

For no reason at all, what about sharing some trans friendly MG/YA books for #TransRightsReadathon, hmm? Or for any time of the year, really! - Splinter & Ash, by Marieke Nijkamp; - The Prince and the Dressmaker, by Jen Wang; - Scarlet Morning, by N.D. Stevenson; - This Is Our Rainbow (anthology);

Are you looking for a middle grade adventure that celebrates trans joy, found family, and sword fighting? The third and final book in the Splinter & Ash trilogy, SPLINTER & ASH: THE LOST CROWN, hits shelves this November. Here's the gorgeous cover by Vivienne To, designed by Sylvie Lefloch 😍

I was literally just talking to my therapist on Monday about how I’ve accidentally become nocturnal because night is the only time nobody is ever asking me for anything

it’s not hyperbole, JKR literally said support for HP is support for her transphobia and she uses the money she makes from it to TRY TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY if you watch that show please don’t ever speak to me again trans lives are more important than your fandom of a terrible human’s IP

This made it out of committee. You do NOT want to let it go to a vote. Go make your voice heard right now right now

really enjoyed the importance of being Earnest

Eid Mubarak, celebrating friends! I hope you all have a wonderful day. 💜

Today is the birthday of fabulous Flo Steinberg (March 17, 1939-July 13, 2017), for a time in the 1960s the only full-time Marvel staffer besides Stan Lee, & later underground/indie comics publisher.

I need to pay my rent ASAP so I can keep my housing and things are getting down to the wire. I don’t know what else to do right now.

quick reminder that NT's production of The Importance of Being Earnest, starring human ray of sunshine Ncuti Gatwa, will be streaming FOR FREE on YouTube this weekend www.radiotimes.com/movies/ncuti...

Jews are targeted in shuls & online. Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps. Muslims are openly targeted by politicians. Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI. Trans & queer people are being outlawed. We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Mainstream America: We are obsessed with Heated Rivalry and Drag Race. We love them and can't get enough. American Democrat politicians: LGBT people are not culturally normal. We will not speak of them.

Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.
