One of my first journalism professors would give you a zero if you had even one error of fact. It happened to me. Sucked so much. He was one of the best professors I ever had, I took three more classes from him, and we’re still in touch

I've been seeing the idea that "For most of human history, people lived and died within 50 miles of where they were born" making the rounds. That ignores the long history of nomadic tribes, trade routes, and part-time agriculture. Ancient peoples moved around a lot.

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI

earnestly said “you are perfect, my son” to the pie I pulled out of the oven because I am a far better parent to my creations than victor frankenstein

No one remembers this now but I got canceled for #solidarityisforwhitewomen. It's true I never wrote for certain places but I don't think it hurt me any in the long run.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

once again passing the hat on account of life is expensive and stupid and i am a frail creature that nevertheless should probably live

Very hard to be cool and glamorous when you run something called the Gobble Gobble Gobble. 🏃‍♀️ I haven’t run a race since high school. Wild!

won't have em for this weekend, but i've been getting a few more people at my table than I'd like lately asking *very pointedly* if i drew everything myself, so i designed a new sticker this afternoon that will hopefully quell some of those concerns. #art

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

How I hate him

The Los Angeles Record November 22, 1921

After being born into poverty and getting kicked out at 17, I wouldn’t stop trying to save my own life from my mental health. It was a hard fight. But at 45, after 2 years of safe housing, I woke up wanting to write again. Five years later, my debut novel won the world fantasy award.

Happy #Caturday.
