Emily Everhart

This is so many people's story. I've had countless conversations with women specifically about doctors just shrugging their shoulders and saying 'stop being fat' or being encouraged to exercise and then they injured themselves and then they gain more weight and get the shrugging again.

The Dragonriders of Pern books were the books that got me into reading. Every one of these covers are part of me becoming a reader - it's such a pleasure to see the development sketches! Such cool looking dragons! Great composition. I'm glad they went with the close-up dragon for the cover.

Excellent.

White House drafts order directing Justice Department to sue states that pass AI regulations The draft order comes after Republicans in Congress failed to pass a federal ban on state AI regulation, as more lawmakers raise concerns about the technology.

Authoritarianism is the bailout.

A Facebook post from Scrivener: "Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you're on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. Here's why, and what you can do if you want to remove this" attention-grabbing graphic says "SCRIVENER AND AI: WHY DO I SEE AI PROMPTS IN MY SCRIVENER PROJECTS ON MAC?"

Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

This is only vaguely related but apparently celery has a cat nip like effect in cats? I found out because my cat was rolling on my groceries

I will definitely share with the team!

Aww this made my morning! I have been spending all my spare time working on our new podcast (independent) so I'm hoping we will have something new for you soon! On a podcast feed!

Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S. Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.

He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- harris@slate.com or dm me.

RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

It's unfortunately not up to me, but the plan is to get it back on the podcast feed by next season, but I can't promise! Sorry about that, I know the podcast feed is easiest for everyone!

One thousand percent

Yeah there are a lot of legitimate criticisms of Florida, and I'm always here for nutritious dunking on the sunshine state, but people don't care enough to find out what to really make fun of us for and go for generic 'dumb, backwards, ignorant, republicans'. Y'all we have gators! Start there!

I love how angry that cat is

Less than 2 hours and less than 1k to go to hit our next timed goal and give everyone exclusive custom guitar picks! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

I'm really proud of you Virginia. I have awarded you one (1) week of not making fun of Virginia as I am from Maryland. In seven days we can commence hating each other once again.

Oh no your wife is aloof, hot, smart, and an insanely talented artist! What will you do? Be Mayor of NY or something?

I will also say, Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics is similar vibes but for adults and about ancient writers. If you don't mind some references to bad behavior and more obvious references to sex than Greeking Out, it's probably fine for kids.

Sorry, these are all US based!

There are so many great kids podcasts! If you're looking for educational, there's Wow in the World, Tumble, the Ten News, and the Past and the Curious. For more Greek Mythology, there's Live! From Mt Olympus which does a radio drama take on the stories

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

That's not good! I will let the YT team know. The last episode came out on Friday it should be there

That's very true it relies a lot on genre

I don't know about your writing process, but I always find it easier to fill in the room later when you can do a second pass and focus more on it. Character and dialog come more naturally to me as well. But sometimes as you go along the world builds itself and you can go back to fill in the details

The Harbingers at 51, Wolf 359 at 52 on the Apple Podcast Fiction charts

My first show and my newest show are side by side on the Apple Charts today!

If you’re a Wolf 359 fan and you haven’t heard The Harbingers yet, give it a try! The first three episodes are out now, and Episode 4 comes out a week from today!

☹️
Have I mentioned that the team and I are starting another independent podcast? On an actual RSS feed? Hopefully launching in spring.

Apple sometimes is weird but if it's being weird than most people don't know we have more!

Okay this is something I need to take to my tech guy. At the least the image should have updated with the new logo.
