This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?

My notifications are off except for texts and still… I often need to turn on do not disturb and leave my phone in another room to get anything done or get any peace. I am one of those who can’t handle “just a little”. I’ve been sober for about five years because of that.

Working on a crochet wavy, ocean-themed blanket. Regular crochet is my go-to for big projects. This one is queen-sized and uses pretty blue-green colors to brighten up my life during the autumnal and winter blues I experience every year.
(I’m already through my first wave of SAD for the season.)

Good

Amazing. The topic is important! Kind of hilarious and maybe a little soul crushing that it’s someone else speaking tho? 🤭😅 I think you still get credit!

The Death of the Student Essay—and the Future of Cognition One professor's reflections on the end of an era, as AI tools such as ChatGPT have murdered the student essay (RIP). Here's why that threatens the future of human cognition—and how to save ourselves.

With classes underway, I’ve switched from essays to exams. But with the death of the student essay (RIP, slain by ChatGPT), there’s a larger human tragedy: an erosion of critical cognition and the creation of two sharply divided classes of people: those who learn how to think and those who don’t:

Exactly like Israel, they’re specifically targeting journalists.

Happened in Chicago today, with multiple journalists shot in the face on purpose. While shooting film of the people shooting them in the face.

They may also start targeting journalist family members to be cruel, just as the IDF did.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

Ooh that’s neat. I’ll have to give it a try!!

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Waiting for this!!!! So excited. I have it on hold at my library. 😂 🤓

I only see relaxed bananas?

A lacy scarf or shawl would be fun.

This book is sooooo charming. I loved that it wasn’t ONLY cozy. The flashbacks gave the characters serious depth, and the ending… chef’s kiss. Or should I say Hands’ kiss????? 😂

It's Tuesday so that means new releases! Our staff was able to listen to this gem on @librofm, and we all ADORED it. Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz (@annaleen.bsky.social) . It's both magical and poignant.

I was literally realizing as I posted this… maybe the buttons can be optional 👀 I only ever use the top one anyway 🤣

An old pic of a project that is now 95% completed (like most of my WIPs). I loved working on this Tunisian crochet sweater, holding together black worsted weight yarn and deep teal mohair. I just don’t want to do the buttons ☠️

Climate optimism! I did gain some hope in hearing that some of the worst possibilities have already been avoided. I will try to nurture that feeling.

It’s free to not shame people tho

I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

Fuck fireworks, anyone who buts them, and anyone who sets them off. Your 30 seconds of excitement aren’t worth so many animals (including humans) feeling this way. Fuck this holiday
