When I was looking at places to move to I wasn’t comfortable looking in closets and cabinets even if the house wasn’t occupied. I had to be encouraged to check things out because it was someone else’s space, even if it was vacant.

During a flood, water levels and the rate at which the water is flowing can quickly change. Get to higher ground. Do not drive or walk into water. It only takes 6 inches of water to knock you off your feet. Stay informed by monitoring local media and checking weather.gov for the latest updates.

3 Steps for Flash Floods: 1. Get to higher ground (get out of the areas subject to flooding). 2. Do not drive into water (do NOT drive or walk into flooded areas. It only takes 6 inches of water to knock you off your feet). 3. Stay informed: Monitor local radar, television, weather radio, internet or social media for updates. During a flood, water levels and the rate at which the water is flowing can quickly change. Remain aware and monitor local radio and television. WHEN FLOODED TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN

Hey @moderation.bsky.app @aaron.bsky.team is it official Bluesky policy that trans people aren't allowed to report posts that wish death to trans people as hate speech, since somebody is being threatened with suspension? Or is somebody going rogue and breaking policy to threaten a trans user?

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

THE SCARLET BALL, my dark fantasy novel due out on OCT 6, is set in an 1890 that never existed. During the 1890s, dip pens were still king, but the modern fountain pen was beginning to appear. This, I suspect, is a Beekman fountain pen from the late 1890s.

Hardback book, The Scarlet Ball, resting on a wooden table with a black fountain pen laid across it diagonally.

The Scarlet Ball features an Asian woman in a red dress holding a white skin mask as shadowy hands reach for her. The text on it reads:

The pen is black, with no clip or cap bands.

I'm not sure if Cat's nemesis is hiding in a shadow on her side of the fence because of a lawnmower over there or is decided to try telling lawnmower to skedaddle too. She decided to head inside because it's still mowing.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

There are over 25,000 international college athletes across the NCAA, making up almost 13% of the entire college athlete population. If the NCAA and universities won’t protect these students from ICE, this recruitment must be understood as predatory. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/s...

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?

Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.
