............so many steps were involved to get to that insane setup, and the first one was "gosh, I really want to have this guy rape an unconscious chick, but I can't make it rape-rape. what's a good reason to rape her? ooh, I know!"

Oh my god, GRASS is incredible!
I once bent so far over backwards to include SINGER FROM THE SEA in a dystopian fiction class that I was teaching just because of how much I love Tepper. No regrets -- I think my students were deeply traumatized.
I haven't read or thought about that series in about three decades, but I had a very visceral "uh oh" feeling just now.

Why hasn't Emperor Palpatine released the unredacted Jedi Youngling massacre files? The Corellian Stock Exchange is over 40,000 and you have Palpatine Derangement Syndrome! Is Leia even your real daughter?

@stephenblackmoore.com Okay, firstly, I remember this and it was amazing and fun.
Also HOW THE FUCK WAS THAT ELEVEN YEARS AGO, WHAT THE EVER-LOVING SHIT?

I LOVE that book! Southon is absolutely one of my favorite historians -- I have screenshots of some of her most banger lines just for the days when I need something to cheer me up.
I particularly love how she establishes context of just how LITTLE we actually know, and the thinness of sources.
baseball players have the hand eye coordination of greek gods, the athleticism of a guy who played football 4 years ago and the situational awareness of a lemming

I think few people fully appreciate how a fight between almost any pair of writers would basically be the posh boy fight between Hugh Grant and Colin Firth in BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY.
Which. Yes. Obviously, I would like to see and would enjoy quite a bit.
Well, great. This is now going to occupy my thoughts forever.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.
Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.
Beautiful and devastating all at once.
AMAZING. Bring this woman's energy with you into the world.

Cover of the book: Gentle Reading Advice, by Chuck Wendig.
Thank you @chuckwendig.bsky.social for Gentle Writing Advice. I needed to be reminded that I love writing more than I dread rejection -- and that there are ways to deal with the latter without breaking into pieces. Now, I can pick up the quill again with my mind at peace.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
It's such a high-wire act. I'm always blown away by those who do it well.
And when it isn't done well..... uuuuughhhhh.....
