If you published speculative ecofiction this year, we'd love to consider it for ECO25 💚🌿🐾🐚🦋🌿💚

Still, I’ll miss it when it’s over. I don’t know why this show has been a favorite of mine — maybe the nostalgic horror tone, or the Power of Friendship theme, or the hokey humor, or the way it’s about battling your inner demons made flesh.

Applause all around.

My take after the first four episodes is they’ve been pushing it with the character ages for a while, but these actors are officially too old 😂

El looks like she runs a successful boutique design firm in SF and Mike is ready to buy his mid-life crisis sports car.

a cartoon character says bring it on Alt: The llama from The Emperor’s New Groove movie says bring it on.

Next few weeks are about to be a journey, whew.

I see it’s time for Running Up That Hill to get stuck in my head again.

It’s wild how much can change in a year. Last Thanksgiving, both my grandmother and my father-in-law still walked the earth, and I’d just gotten a positive pregnancy blood test.

Today, I’m gently holding the memories and savoring my last few days of parental leave with the cutest little muffin.

There is no productivity timer more urgent and effective than the baby is napping.

From the co-writing session today... What if you took all of the books you've read, life you've lived, wisdom gained, and then reached back in time for the audacity you had when you were younger?

What could you make if you borrowed that self, now?

Too accurate lol.

I told our discord yesterday that Trump was not prepared for the most charismatic man in politics.

This is such a fun idea.

I have a lot of academics in my life and it sounds like trying to teach in the age of ChatGPT is near impossible. I wonder how it is trying to teach composition in particular, just…how?

So sad to hear about Alice Wong. May we honor her by not letting her words be forgotten. Go pick up her books

No aurora sightings for me this week — still on the bucket list — but some lovely sunsets.

[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.] JANET: Ugh... LIZ: What's up? JANET: I am so bored of cooking peas! LIZ: Have you tried... AI peas? JANET: AI peas? LIZ: They're peas with AI! [Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI]. LIZ: Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas JANET: What LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines] Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas? [Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it] LIZ: Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine [Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas] LIZ: With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas! JANET: What LIZ: Shut up LIZ: Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow From opening the bag of peas to boiling the peas to eating the peas To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means. JANET: Is it really necessary to- LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]: THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET [Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan: AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

I always say that hard work buys you a lotto ticket, but luck still draws it. Plenty of really talented people will never ever find success. There are things you can do to buy additional lotto tickets like making connections and showing up, but luck will always, always be a factor.

Some of the best advice I ever heard was from @silviamg.bsky.social who said that you shouldn't set goals that require other people to do what you want. You can write a book. That's a goal. You can't control whether anyone buys it. Other people have free will.

Ha! 😂

Every time I put coconut oil in my hair, the dog comes to sniff like, “I don’t know why we’re making piña coladas in the bathroom, but can I have one?”

Temps might be dropping, but supporting your indie bookshop will keep you hot 🔥

It is refreshing to have a good news day.

This is why we do the work. Academics study and theorize so we can impact material conditions for the better. Understanding the family policing system and its roots in anti-Blackness, slavery, and family disruption is so necessary to refusing to criminalize Black & Brown mothers today.

It’s not for the faint of heart!

My baby fights sleep with every single fiber of his tiny body until literally the second he drops into unconsciousness, good lord 😂
