I LOVE @thesundaylongread.bsky.social and frequently peruse for new stories to teach. Such a fun surprise to see my Doomsday Clock piece in this week’s edition!

For Popular Mechanics, I went behind the scenes to meet the people behind the @thebulletin.org’s Doomsday Clock. I asked—what does it mean to anticipate apocalypse as your job? www.popularmechanics.com/science/a695...

This is extremely alarming?! Words like this, even if they are only threats right now, can lead to devastating escalation. There have been dire close calls in the past, and the international architecture to prevent nuclear war is dangerously fragile right now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Calling fiction writers!

Thank you so much for coming, @substockman.bsky.social. It was so buoying to be in conversation with these writers I so admire! @manjula.bsky.social, @rahawahaile.bsky.social, @latriagraham.bsky.social, @maggiemertens.bsky.social

Happy to be at TN Tech for #appstudies2025! Find Half-Life at the @kentuckypress.bsky.social table, and me at the Power of Stories panel at 9:30 am Saturday. #appalachianstudies, #ruralreimagined
