I am so excited to hear more of this epic!

Arthurian legends // Perfume // The Dark is Rising | Realms Unknown With Alice Fraser and Eleanor Morton

Unsheathe your sword with aplomb (insert schwing sound here) while enjoying @eleanormorton.bsky.social & @alicefraser.bsky.social discuss buff little piggies named Ralph, Muppet baby Odysseus, and @pendaraniwys.bsky.social Welshian epic! It’s awesome!

If you like that, you'll love: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4KK... Large members on roofs with @thebugle.bsky.social Andy Zaltsman and John Oliver (before he crossed the pond.

Makes me wish I were writing short stories and not novels. Love @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social Wonderbook--his chapter on beginning where he analyzes Finch opening--brilliant. If you can, take this offer up.

Red Sonja // Medieval Fayres // Funny Fantasy | Realms Unknown With Alice Fraser and Chris Skinner

Need to buy a little respite in a bitter world? Join @podchris.bsky.social as he wears a dress & thinks about muscles, & autonomously skirted @alicefraser.bsky.social as they talk K-Pop demon hunters, horse violence, how to ID the anointed, and Barbarian trad wives. shows.acast.com/6786518e3cee...

I also appreciate the discussion of the many 90s misogynistic tropes. Just to add another, Caroline Heldman's FFT's (Fighting Fuck Toys) is a useful one that pops up quite a bit. gointothestory.blcklst.com/the-hunger-g...

Starship Alexandria The Sci-fi and Fantasy podcast from the best of futures! In this future, humanity has solved its problems and is now sending spaceships from Earth, not in a desperate attempt to escape the apocalypse...

So fun listening to @emmanewman.bsky.social & @aptshadow.bsky.social talk about my fav plotless 90s sci-fi film, The Fifth Element (Patreon only post—worth it!!!) Also, action star B. Willis’ orange tank top with a strappy back—my fav touch of gay. So ahead of its time! www.starshipalexandria.com

Preschool for all is ONE tax. What about the cost of the huge new infrastructure bill? What about the 800FTE at the Oregon Department of Ed who mostly make sure districts check boxes? So much waste and yet this is what she's going after? This is feminism 101 stuff--families need childcare.

Kotek Doubles Down: County “Must Walk and Chew Gum at the Same Time” Gov. Tina Kotek on Thursday released a statement reaffirming her position on Preschool for All, which is that Multnomah County officials must do more to address issues plaguing the program’s implement...

If only @tinakotek.bsky.social would "measure outcomes against every penny" we spend in K-12, maybe we'd have better outcomes & ppl wouldn't be leaving (OR is 50th in literacy). www.wweek.com/news/schools...

Super cool cover!

I'll be at @powells.bsky.social tonight, can't wait. Nick was in my @ucrlowresmfa.bsky.social program and his writing always blows me away.

Appreciate the heads up so I could email my reps today—and sent to many friends. Thank you all for keeping at this.

Excellent news for Feminism 101: no childcare means women lose out economically and so do their kids. Shameful that Dems were going to cut one of the main programs that is making Portland a more livable place for everyone.

Side characters as leads // Final Fantasy // Magician | Realms Unknown With Alice Fraser and James Nokise

Bootstrap a stick in a log & eat some ants while you listen to Master of the Universe @jamesnokise.bsky.social & sentient roomba @alicefraser.bsky.social talk psychic grandmas, Final fantasy Rock’n’roll, Russel Crowe’s stupid hair & why old men should stop taking T.

You already pay me in the delight I get listening to you tell me what to read and watch. :)

Translated works // Under The Skin // Bikini armour | Realms Unknown With Alice Fraser and Tom Neenan

Scrape off the hoarfrost, find your manhole, & join snorkmaiden @tpneenan.bsky.social & Mr. greedy's nemesis @alicefraser.bsky.social as they put their hoofs down and explore how nerds get buff, the pros/cons of bikini armor, & weird stuff to do in a van.

Ecstasy by #ivypochda is one of the best book I've read in years. It's a banger! @ucrlowresmfa.bsky.social

Would love to see a long-term plan with targets and how we're going to get there. Trust in Dems being able to get stuff done starts with local pols getting stuff done. There are models (hello Houston), but we need a comprehensive plan w/ follow-through.

That's great!!!! Just put it on my calendar. It will be so great to see you and hear you talk about your work! And I can buy your new book.

Are you coming for a reading/talk about your book?

Jess Walter's will be at @powells.bsky.social on June 23, 7pm. Loves Over Tumbled Graves and Land of the Blind. Excited that he is coming through our little town.

I'm having a Garbage Pail Kid memory. This is awesome!

By the way, reading City of Stairs--loving it. Just got introduced to your work through @alicefraser.bsky.social on her podcast @realmsunknown.bsky.social Also loved A Drop of Corruption.

Opinion | End the University as We Know It (Published 2009)

I love this--reminds me of Mark Taylor from 2009. I left academics despite loving teaching. In 2016, colleagues were still arguing over teaching students citations. I agree, need rethink what is the purpose of college for students and research www.nytimes.com/2009/04/27/o...

World After Capital : Albert Wenger : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Technological advances broaden the space of the possible for humanity.With the internet we can give everyone free access to education. But we can also share...

I found @albertwenger.bsky.social's After Capital a compelling way to think about what should be determined by markets and what can't be. Markets are good for some things, but not things like housing, ed, and healthcare. archive.org/details/Worl...

You should go on @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social and have that discussion. I'd totally tune in and he's a sci-fi fan (had a great talk with @nkjemisin.bsky.social a few years back on world building.

On route 7 across the street from the green.

the neighbour who was here yesterday pitching a fit over the length of my lawn came back 10 min ago to tell me that he's been watching news and I should not worry & long as he lives here they will have to go through him first and thing is, it wasn't just Walt Whitman who contained multitudes
