STARRED review in @libraryjournal.bsky.social for WE WILL RISE AGAIN, the speculative activism anthology edited by @drkarenlord.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social and yours truly! Pre-order here: www.simonandschuster.com/books/We-Wil...

People need to be ON THEIR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS' asses in so-called "progressive" cities. These people continue to SELL OUT their cities in multiple ways. Get acquainted with your council member and stay on their ass.

In the midst of a KU binge before I cancel. Using the free 3 months to give some authors page turns but also for me, voracious book+ a day reader. Any and all recs for fantasy romance, PNR, SFR appreciated. I'll be frank. I'm looking for books that won't tweak my MAGA radar.

Reminder: Today at 11 am Eastern I'll be streaming "The Long Dark" to raise money for NY Common Pantry! With giveaways for each goal! Let's see how long I last. www.twitch.tv/nkjemisin If you don't feel like watching the game, you can also donate directly at tiltify.com/@nkjemisin/s...

Alright y'all. This is finally happening.

@caffeinated-spoon.bsky.social and I are proud to announce a cross-server initiative this month called ‘Smut for SNAP’, where you can ask participating writers to write you a piece of smut in exchange for a charitable donation to a food bank, blood bank, or volunteer hours.

Hey MA friends! Please write to your MoCs to ask them to push to inspect the inhumane conditions at the Burlington ICE facility, and to show up & join the weekly protests. Here's the link to a form email that you can revise/personalize, that does just that: actionnetwork.org/letters/insp...

Ariadne Marketou and Alexandra Rodler have a new article on “Ochres as earth pigments in Hellenistic and Roman polychromy: State of the art and future directions on material origins and trade” in the JAS! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... I do love a pigment trade article. 🎨 🖌️

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

Second load of laundry is in. Thawing some cooked barley in chicken broth. Cooked green curry with yam, leftover chicken, spinach, and broccoli.

Life goals.

Watching "Space Fall" for today's #Blake's7 watchalong. I never realized before that Blake, Avon, and Jenna are the Final Girl in this episode.

Afternoon walk.

Today feels like a Detroit November. No more of that unseasonal warmth, just a snap to the air, clouds low enough to fill a bowl, and the crunch of leaves underfoot if I stepped outside except my hibernation protocol has kicked in. Look for me on the sofa. Dig deep, dig deep. Many blankets.

Hello, heist fans! This Sunday, Nov. 9, I’m teaching a virtual heist workshop! You can still register today, but you need to hurry! I’ve done a terrible job promoting it because of book tour brain - so! If you are interested in writing heists, head on over & grab a seat: www.eventbrite.com/e...

Since the "Replacement Theory" is back in the news, here is a short run-down on its history that I wrote for @hyperallergic.com—along with the pernicious quote of Cassius Dio uses by white supremacists to justify their beliefs. hyperallergic.com/514034/the-o...

Now contemplating what I’d put on a sandwich called “the acquittal”. Should it be cold-cuts, or should we put it in a panini press? Or maybe just grill it? Obviously, mustard and onions are essential. (Mmmm, let’s pickle the onions with some hot peppers!) I feel like arugula would be grand.

Classic @datlow.bsky.social anthology here for a special price! openroadmedia.com/ebook/salon-... including my dare-I-say-classic story "My Travels with Al-Qaeda"

After hearing a splendid concert of Italian Baroque last night, this morning's listening in Monteverdi. A metric eff-ton of Monteverdi.

I got my first AI-generated Amazon Algorithm email and it was so bad it was funny. Thanks for the laugh, spammer!

I applaud the Shapiro-Davis administration’s work to protect vulnerable Pennsylvanians who rely on LIHEAP.

I think I'm going to do Noirvember, but in book format. I mean, I may watch a few movies too (I just got an email from Kanopy about what they have on offer) but @bamawriter.bsky.social totally got me into Jordan Harper, so I'm leaning in that direction. Noir suggestions? I want 'em!
