I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

Exactly this — caving for nothing makes all that pain for nothing. Further, them caving lends credence to this being just some political scrum when it’s actually much more fundamental than that! Call those senators, please.

#TBBChat There isn't much new rn as I'm focused on writing, but I am offering free ebooks of my debut novella, CAT/MOUSE, to anyone who donates $5 or more to my local food bank. Details are pinned on my profile!

#TBBChat Knowing me, it would be something terribly un-threatening. Like "Stub Legs".

#TBBChat Listen, I KNOW there are aliens out there somewhere. It's mathematically improbable that we are alone. I want to see how they live! What's the alien equivalent of a city, of clothes, of food? Do they have music? Do they write their words? I have so many questions...

#TBBChat I can't say I've ever picked a favorite before -- but I do think that Jupiter is the prettiest planet in our solar system.

#TBBChat Hi friends, I'm Eliza. I write romantic SFF & my current WIP is a dark fantasy about social inequity and war and zombies and sapphic yearning.

#WIPSnips From Chapter Three of DeadGirlsWIP 💙📚

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

#FantasyIndiesNovember 6 I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but I don't really use many "tools" in my writing process. The only new thing I tried recently was the index card method for plotting scenes. Besides that, I use a word processor, a notebook, a pen, & the thesaurus, lol.

#QuestPit #W #A #DF #R Three years ago, Valerie died in a faraway battle, leaving her BFF Selba to bury an empty coffin. When Valerie returns, changed but alive, the truth is finally revealed: the army has a plan to end the war, & it hinges entirely on Selba’s rare magic talent of Sight.

#QuestPit #W #A #DF #R All her life, Selba's seen smoky visions of the future, but never anything helpful. She can't predict weather or luck, & certainly not her BFF's tragic death. But when her dead friend returns & asks her to join the war effort, Selba's finnicky Sight might just save the world.

Grief is madness, but it doesn't have to make you mad.

#WIPSnips The end of Chapter Seven from DeadGirlsWIP 💙📚

#FantasyIndiesNovember 4 Tamsyn Muir is at least 50% responsible for this story's renewal. Her descriptions of necromancy & its practitioners ultimately urged me toward revisiting & revamping DeadGirlsWIP. Also, shout out to all the authors writing lady knights rn; I hope Ser Valerie pleases you.
