THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED! 🧪🧵⬇️

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

For any agents on Bsky flipping through last minute #P2Ppit pitches (👀👋 hi), here's the agent guide for the sapphic epic fantasy novel I #amquerying, which comps ATLA, THE JASMINE THRONE, BONESMITH and GIDEON THE NINTH. #UW #A #F #Q

#P2Ppit 📖 DAWN OF MORROW AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER x THE JASMINE THRONE: When a resistance fighter fails to assassinate the princess of an enemy kingdom, they team up as unlikely allies to save their warring countries from power-hungry gods and a spreading wasteland. #UW #A #F #Q

‘Every hour is filled with bloodshed’: Israeli strikes rain down on Gaza in the wake of ceasefire announcement.

This may be the end of the fighting. It certainly won't be the end of the genocide. Palestinians will need massive amounts of aid as they begin to recover and rebuild. Gazans will still be living in the world's largest open air prison.

Le Guin was asked what gave her hope for the future. She answered, “The age, and the vastness, and the vast complexity of the earth and all its creatures. No matter how we try to cut it down to our size, we’ll fail; and in our failure lies our hope.” lithub.com/the-way-of-w...

THE JASMINE THRONE meets GIDEON THE NINTH in this queer high fantasy adventure where two women from opposing countries and faiths work together to take down a death god — agent’s guide below! #BluePit

This is a phenomenal and devastating piece of reporting (also absolutely do not read if you don’t feel up for it — detailed descriptions of abuse)

Octavia Butler couldn’t see the future. She saw what was happening in front of her and, in addition to studying the past, was able to imagine where it would lead. It’s important to tell the truth about her because mythologizing her is a disservice to her legacy.

AI sucks. Stop using it.
