I wish cis people understood how it feels to see Harry Potter every-fucking-where constantly.

Being a massive pervert is free, fun, and incredibly fulfilling – but watch out! Vast social forces are arrayed against it...

when will a frankenstein movie be brave enough to let us see the doctor choosing the dick

Yay for all these authors and all their great work! I did the map for the Isle in the Silver Sea. A very interesting map concept. I’ve also done maps for C.L. Clark. Always honored to be able to work on such great books.

If I was really rich, I would not complain about mayors refusing to meet with me; I would just buy a lot of Lego sets and spend extended periods in Tokyo, Italy, and France

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

Sometimes a bunch of friends have books come out all at once, so I must stack my riches for display! Also, everyone should totally grab their own copies of these beauties from @clclark.bsky.social @tashasuri.bsky.social @alixeharrow.bsky.social and @sentencebender.bsky.social

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

I'm thrilled to see EMBODIED EXEGESIS included in this amazing list of transfem literature! This is some incredible company to be in!!!

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

On a better note, my package from Sibling Rivalry Press arrived!!

virtue signalling is good actually

The most annoying thing about owning a car that’s more than ten years old is how “huh… what’s that noise” turns into a hefty repair bill so quickly

Mozilla is so funny because basically their market is "look some people want a browser that's not Safari or Chrome" and that's a market with very clear and specific desires in the tech products they wish to consume and they keep fucking it up like every six months

If you wrote an SF/F/H story that was published in 2025 (or read a story that you thought was great), tell me about it in this thread! Authors, also send your story to me here: johnjosephadams.com/basff-submis... (Please read the guidelines before submitting.)

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Haha yesss. Japanese copyright law doesn't fuck around. Since I get challenged on this a lot: U.S. and Japan are both Berne Convention signatories, meaning the copyright is recognized between countries. They CAN go after American companies. And they are. And I love it. variety.com/2025/digital...

Eagerly awaiting this episode, heh

I spoke to Donovan Hohn of @laphamsquarterly.bsky.social for their Moby Dick podcast. We talked about Chapter 4, my Queequeg and Ishmael fanfic (Quishmael for my fellow old Tumblr heads) and Melville’s unrequited love for Nathaniel Hawthorne. www.laphamsquarterly.org/content/epis...

Another person who started down this path from the most “innocuous” advertised uses of ChatGPT: homework help. I have been struck by the cases of people getting lost in delusions after using this product for work or school: ie the use cases we are supposed to encourage as faculty.

I am so unbelievably hype about “Burnout Syndrome” — reuniting the “Not Me” team!! Ahhh Directed by Nuchy Anucha Boonyawatana, starring Off and Gun (and Dew, this time 👀) youtu.be/iqtE21HQ-KU

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name. The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

I love Wumuti an endless amount.

“I have not found one single instance of a straight person risking, helping, protecting a queer and trans person during this history. Not a single one. And that’s a hard pill to swallow" 19thnews.org/2025/10/lgbt...

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

For Day 6 of #NovellaNovember, I'm reshaping my review of @leemandelo.bsky.social 's thought-provoking science fiction novella Feed Them Silence. Lee Mandelo has become an "auto-buy' author (those I pre-order automatically without reading book description). www.anthonycardno.com/blog/2023/3/...

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

We tried this end of 19th century and it was not a good idea, yeah

Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict: “I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything…. “That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants… Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

One thing I love about @prismreports.org is that they work so closely with incarcerated writers, and surface things I had never thought about before. This piece on how extended incarceration is a violation of reproductive rights by functionally serving as involuntary sterilization is fantastic.

Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer. Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality. hellgatenyc.com/bail-reform-...

Oh dang. I wonder if this is why I've stopped seeing some folks on here. Not cool. I'd rather block them myself.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

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

"Antifa materials" is intended to sound sinister but the government is talking about ESSAYS. If you read literature the regime disapproves of, you might be a terrorist, too.

Yesssss, well-deserved!!

The nyt editors already have a biased angle in mind. They’re not seeking facts, they’re looking for quotes to fill in a predetermined narrative of bigotry. Every nyt story about us is intended to spread disinformation and foment discrimination. The leadership’s anti-trans animosity is deeply held

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
