I mean, robot/AI stories are almost all stories about slaves, and "robot uprising" stories are about slave rebellions. Do we honestly think slaves rebel just because there are stories about slave rebellions? Or is there perhaps some OTHER reason for such uprisings?

Obviously The Toast, and also Cute Overload, which I called Cute Overlord

An author I like remarked that there is a ton of misinformation circling on Threads about publishing, and that is true. But I’m willing to bet there’s a ton of misinformation on Threads about everything else, too.

This book is so good!

I'm sorry to constantly post about my website, but I do think public scholarship is one of our most important resistance tools right now. Experts getting information and historical context out to the public before fascists can shape narratives is crucial. I'm building resources on my site to help 🗃️

People in comics & the British fantasy scene! If you were around in the 80s-90s & are willing to speak on or off the record about Gaiman, please DM me or reach out on email. I will put you in touch with someone working on a longform piece. They are wondering why no one, so far, is willing to talk.

Happy Ro2SIDay! Here is my traditional celebratory diorama for this year.

Many of the most famous photographs of figures from the Civil Rights Movement are in black and white, which is one of the reasons we love these colorful images of Rosa Parks' 1990 birthday gala, found in her papers at the Library of Congress. Parks was born on this day in 1913. #BlackHistoryMonth

Getting paid for it.

Reminded AGAIN of that time two nice missionaries came to the house and I tried to tell them that a) I had heard of the guy and b) have a good afternoon, bye, but some brain wires got crossed and I said "I'm sure he's lovely" and slammed the door on them
