Hi, I was the oldest daughter.

I am not allowed to be creative or flighty. I will not get support or grace.

I need to have a backup plan for the contingency plan, because if anything goes wrong, it will be my fault.

IT’S HERE ‼️ And yes I cried when I hit send on the issue for subscribers. I hope you love this issue as much as we do.

I'm writing an edit letter for a friend and started out with "this is a great story and you really don't need to change much" and then proceeded to ramble for 1000 words.

I stand by it being a good story! That gives me more to ramble about...

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

Some Sundays it is important to waste an hour trying to be the hottest cunt at the farmers market

They can’t figure out how to spend the extra $500 billion they gave themselves for the military, but cut our healthcare and food assistance because they said they couldn’t afford it.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

They really DON'T think the arts involve skill OR dedication.

I know that but it gobsmacks me whenever I see it demonstrated.

Lil before-bed request to check out my fashion + space opera anthology!! Would be really grateful for folks to back it. We are 8 days away from wrrapping up and have $4k to go.

You have probably already had Seattle's contribution to world cuisine, and never known its origins.

Chicken Teriyaki

Created in 1976 by Chef Toshihiro Kasahara in his Queen Anne restaurant.

AI has already killed people and it'll kill and disable more if we don't wise up. you've 👏 been 👏 had 👏

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

After the Columbian exchange, all food everywhere became Native American fusion food. So quickly, so thoroughly, that it is hard to even imagine their cuisines before tomatoes and chili peppers and potatoes.

But the recipes, the beloved dishes passed down across generations? Brutally erased.

Add. To. Your. TBR. NOW. I got to read the opening pages of this in draft form and was already hooked. Also look at that gorgeous cover!

At the moment, I'm regrettably not having cappuccinos and croissants in a quaint café in Vienna, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well.”

Well, I’m sold

I know there used to be slacks set up for every debut year, but I don’t know who set them up and I assume invites spread through word-of-mouth.

So yes, if you can find them.

Taco trucks in gas station parking lots are the backbone of this society

Mother, Darling Wendy knew it wouldn’t be long now before her daughter was taken. She had put the idea from her mind as long as she could, but now Jane was days away from turning thirteen.

Did I mention that I have not one, but TWO stories releasing today on 2/2? Yeah, it's weird. And wonderful.

My novelette "Mother, Darling" is now live @strangehorizons.bsky.social

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.

we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.

delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Hey folks!

Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

They’re landlords
