Share a Film, or TV Character Who Deserved More Screentime. With zero shade to the actor or character of Tabor introduced in "Nothing Human," they could have brought back the Bajoran we already saw struggle with Starfleet. (I could do this a dozen times over with Voyager, but.)

On the one hand, I know enough about publishing to know the whole "it’s best if you support a series as they’re released because that’s how it gets continued" is, in fact, quite true. On the other, I don’t blame people at all when Netflix (and the rest) teach them the opposite on the regular.

When the NHS talk about the “risks” of puberty blockers for trans teens, they don’t mean side effects, they mean the “risk” child will stay trans. Being trans is the fail state to them, and they would rather children be dead. We know PB are safe because we give them to cis children and some adults.

Yes. The way you apply "ally" to yourself is as a verb.

...Anyway! As this thread seems to be taking off a little, this looks like a good time to let folks know that #BlackFriday / #BlackNovember prices have just gone into effect over at #Ebooks Direct. And since I'm having a brain scan on Monday, sales will be welcome! ebooks.direct/collections/...

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

Fodder if you wanna participate in #Novellavember ~

Over 60% in the first day or so is awesome, but I would love to see this orchestrated audiobook break the finish line ribbon, please. (Selfish reasons: I want to listen to it SO MUCH.) #BookSky #Audiobook

I chose to live here. I chose to live here. I chose to live here.

He’s in danger. (giggle)

I just saw "if you don't buy it, they won't sell it" and I'm just... I didn't buy it, bosses & companies buy it and shove it in everything we use, force it alongside the features we need. My government is buying it, wasting billions in its bullshit. I wanted none of it, yet I am saddled with it.

Ro Laren comes with the shuttlepod! :D

If you’re looking for some #NovellaNovember joy, may I point you to @anthonycardno.bsky.social, who is doing a month-long celebration thereof? He’s long been a proponent of short fiction and novella-length work, and he’s an all-around good bloke to boot.

For day 5 of #NovellaNovember, I decided to scroll back to my 2017 review of the first two books in Neon Yang's wonderful Tensorate series, which is now 4 books long and available both individually and in a collected omnibus. www.anthonycardno.com/blog/2017/12...

well there goes the guzzaline market

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Well... this is fabulous news! The (unofficial) relaunch of 'Queer As Folklore' will be at the incredible @queerbritain.bsky.social on December 6th!!!! Tickets here: www.outsavvy.com/event/31166/...

Hey! Apparently it's #IReadCanadian day! If only there was somewhere readers looking for new #Canadian SFF authors to read could find a bunch of them all in one place... 🤔 a.co/d/azXj9pF

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before. They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

November isn’t too early to start talking about queer holiday romance, is it? Fifteen-holidays, chosen-family, will-they-won’t-they novella, complete with hunky mermaid ornaments? Books2Read: books2read.com/u/3GAwpa (You should be able to request the #audiobook at your local library!) #BooksSky

it's #IReadCanadian day! Looking for a new #Canadian author to read? I'm the first self-published author to win a Nebula Award. Check out my work! (details in thread) thodestool.ca/books #IndieAuthor #booksky #CanadianBooks #CanadianAuthor

I've got a bookmark I'm giving out with purchases of Common Accord that's designed as a visual aid for the reader, since so much of the action takes place aboard the hero ship... But this thread also gives me good ideas for bookmarks for my other books 🤔 I love the idea of cross-promotion

While I’m being "Things I Learned as a Bookseller": Bookmarks can be decision support. They can sell a copy of your book. If a person buying your book gets a bookmark, ideally the bookmark will be trying to sell them a different book, not the one they just bought. But! Bookmarks have two sides!

Eligibility lists are now OPEN for Canadian speculative fiction works published in 2025. If you purchased a 2025 membership to vote in the Aurora Awards this past year, you can head over to www.csffa.ca and log in to add works to our lists. 1/

His principles and values drove him away from "the force", and NOW he's genre romance hero material. WRITE ME THIS, PRETTY PLEASE

That was a lovely jolt of optimism and hope and now to look at the Liberal budget and... ... …FFS.

The Liberals' budget -- it mostly helps upper income people, it mostly helps men, it mostly helps war, oil and gas. Sandy and Nora Talk Politics -- Budget 2025 - Liberal Carnage sandyandnora.com/episode-348-...

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Psst. #BookSky, queer friendos, and especially #Audiobook enjoyers? I just backed this—I got to hear a sneak peak at @canconsffh.bsky.social—and OMG I can’t wait.

The Canuck thing where you see the wall of blue on maps and flinch and then remember it’s the US.

Today over on the blog I chat with @christaqua.bsky.social about How To Fake A Haunting, her writing process, editing anthologies, and more. www.anthonycardno.com/blog/2025/11...

So damn happy for you, New York.

Okay. Going back offline, gonna listen to some audiobooks, try to find some lovely smaller/fun games to play tonight. (Maybe I’ll work on the 'zine game a bit, too—I’m trying to make a single-sheet, eight-fold #StarTrekAdventures (ish) 'zine game for Cons, and it’s getting there.)

The way we* let any deplorable individual crossing the absolute lowest bar of "well, he treated his own child well** even though she was queer" be something to laud is just… I can’t. Exhale. Okay, (a) lowest fucking bar, (b) LOWEST. * cis white queer media writers ** didn’t actively disown her

As we await the federal budget, a reminder that social programs, access to basic needs like housing, food, etc. are not "Good to have" - they are essential. "We'll get to addressing violence, poverty, homophobia, racism, etc. once we deal with the tariffs" is bad economic policy AND absolute BS.

... I’m trying SO HARD not to just have a Murderbot-like shutdown over this shit. This. This is what’s on trial while you’ve got people snatching folk of the street?

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Also now I need to listen to this for multiple reasons.

people have completely memory holed this which is a shame because I don't know that I've seen anything like it before or since. Natalie Maines, performing in London, said she was ashamed that George W. Bush was from Texas, and in response she and her bandmates had their lives destroyed

It’s #TabletopTuesday, and I’m here with a quick review of Arboretum, which I’m a bit ambivalent about, and I think it comes down to the vibes—walking through an Arboretum is lovely and peaceful. Playing this game is… more competitive than that. #Games #CardGames #BoardGames

Mid-range headache present this morning so I’m going to hop back into bed and hope it’ll pass, rather than linger all day. Bless the husband for taking the doggo without me.
