Whenever this is mentioned, it is obligatory to post xkcd 2381, in which @gretchenmcc.bsky.social shares forbidden linguistic knowledge with the masses.

I cosign every single word of this anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

did NOT expect to finish my current book on the bus to campus this morning, and since I didn't take another book or my kindle to work today, I am currently BOOKLESS until I get home

OH WELL WHY NOT

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

Zoe's Animal Rescue Society in Edmonton has emptied their funds taking in some animals who need expensive surgeries. They were slammed pretty hard this year, and [gestures wildly at the world] donations aren't meeting the demand. Please share/help as you can. www.zoesanimalrescue.org/donate/

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

every time I read a Sally Rooney novel, I go in thinking, "good lord the stylistic choices she makes are going to annoy me to pieces, and she TELLS so much instead of SHOWING, argh, why am I doing this to myself" and then within 30 pages I'm in love and totally engrossed joke's on me, Ms. Rooney

the first (to my knowledge) western reportage that yes, MXTX was detained in 2019, sentenced to 3 years in prison, and paroled in 2021; now with a link that actually works: apnews.com/article/chin...

there is no place warmer, safer, softer, more at peace, than a bed you have to get out of in two minutes

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Now on the lake they called EVERY BEASTIE BOY: GITCHE GUMEE In November the sky turns EBB: GLOOMY Ship concluded terms with a couple EBB: STEEL FIRMS And set out to Cleveland, when the EBB: WEATHER TURNED The good ship and crew were in EBB: PERIL Thus sank the EBB: EDMUND FITZGERALD

so mad that whenever I try to support a candidate by donating, IMMEDIATELY I'm on the list for eighty other candidates and no matter how much I would LIKE to help, I can't turn that off (or maybe I've missed where I'm automatically signed up) and ARRGGGGHHH might be user error but STILL

A day late but happy 4 years of Arcane 🫀

bluesky mods retire bitch

I read this glorious collection by @vanessafogg.bsky.social who is one of my favorite short story writers. A collection that thrives in the negative space. In what the characters don’t say. Words missing or left untold. Connections waiting to be made. ✨

You see this mf in your neighborhood you KNOW the price of fetuses in jars goin up

now that's what I call a Mamdani endorsement. Don't threaten New Yorkers with a good time, Dave. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I perhaps, maybe, just a little, went overboard at the Fiber Festival

I propose November 1st as resurgence day. Halloween ends, and we all pick up the phones again. MasterCard and Visa, bare minimum, once per day. Every day. All of us. They are only hiring the usual number of holiday workers, this would frighten credit card companies. “It’s not going away”

If stories are like magic tricks, then Carmen Maria Machado and Kelly Link are magicians. The two masters of fiction and horror talk shop in this conversation from our fairy-tale issue (a.k.a., perfect mood reading for this spooky week).

I should be writing or baking the cookie dough chilling in the fridge or doing meal prep but instead I am looking for jumbo flyers and lazy kates for my spinning wheel, because last week's class REALLY made things click (I have a great instructor, and great classmates), so I am in this FOREVER

Just got this sticker in the mail and it is amazing www.punkwithacamera.com/collections/...

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

This is a DC area food bank that has helped laid off and unpaid government workers. They need help. If you have a few bucks to spare consider this charity. www.capitalareafoodbank.org?utm_referrer...

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked. Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.
