Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) collapse will have global effects. "For too long, understanding and monitoring the AMOC was viewed as an academic pursuit. Instead, it should now be treated as what it truly is: an urgent, global priority." 🧪 🌍 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These companies know that parents want to use their technology to control & abuse kids. It's not even just LGBTQ kids either. What about kids being abused seeking resources on getting help? Or kids who are denied scientific education who want to learn about the world outside their church teachings?

I'm reading through Ammianus Marcellinus to prep for maybe writing some historical fiction on the later Roman Empire. It's fascinating how he makes no distinction between Roman soldiers with Latin names and those with obviously barbarian names (Charietto, Dagalaifus). They're all just soldiers.

Visiting in the 90s, climbing the towers, I had no conception of what it would be like to see it completed. Thought it would be forever under construction. Even wrote a story about how its completion could only be experienced in a virtual, digital space. Luckily, there’s one more façade yet to go.

Marjane Satrapi's people are saying she "died of sadness," which just makes it all the more devastating. A powerful and unerring voice for justice. www.lemonde.fr/en/obituarie...

“It was the slack-water of the atmosphere, when the day winds blowing onto the land had died, and the night-breeze, delayed by a warmth-lidding overcast, had yet to be born from the inertia of archipelagic air.” #booksky

“I died on a Sunday, when the new century was no more than four or five hours old. Midnight would have been a more elegant moment (and a real headline grabber), but we were still on stage” #booksky

And we’re a Locus Award Finalist. Great to have been a part of this. Congratulations to everyone involved!

men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.

Cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written. What do you mean “you’re absolutely right, I’ll try again”.

Fijn feestje. De moeite waard voor wie vrijdagmiddag in Amsterdam is.

I’ll see your Herodotus and raise you Gandhi, who, when asked about his thoughts on Western Civilization, answered that it would be a great idea.

I’m also well aware that all the short fiction & non-fiction I’ve published online since I started writing long-form pieces in 1998, were definitely scraped too, yet don’t count. Yours, too. Everyone’s. These companies should all be shuttered. Which is a nice way of saying launched into the sun.
