Adding: this snark is never for audience benefit. If someone thinks the sci-fi is too weird or the horror is too discomforting, they can make their own jokes. Art doing that itself is to prevent others' jokes. The artist says "I'LL laugh so YOU can't make fun of me." And it's so spineless.

New achievement! Parallel Universe You! What if you had picked cat on floor 3? Do you know what kind of Shit Cat you had to do to make it this far? Friends? Foes? Either way you better sort this out fast before reality picks who gets to exist for you. Reward: Scritches #DungeonCrawlerCarl #DCC

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

You don't get to argue that the number of trans people is so small that our rights can't be a major priority, while also claiming there are so many of us that we are going to destroy the whole country by withholding votes.

Also the "You have to explain things to the reader" thinking, no I don't, that is totally optional, where did people get that idea?!? That's never been mandatory. Readers can keep up. And they should be very good at it if they read a lot of speculative fiction!

3) Again, I want to recognize the intent behind creating an entire award solely for YA works, because that does matter. However, in 2027 we will have a full ten years of nominee experiences to review, and my suspicion is that this cohort found being "Not A Hugo" to be, at best, othering.

Popped into the B&N I used to work at (two stores ago) for a wander and a hello and found that they still use my Locked Tomb shelftalker 🥹 Maybe the “coming soon” for Alecto was wishful thinking 😂

A blond wood shelf in a bookstore featuring Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon, Harrow, and Nona. The shelftalker reads:

Locked Tomb Series by Tamsyn Muir
Four words: Lesbian Necromancers in Space!
Four Books: Gideon the Ninth
Harrow the Ninth
Nona the Ninth
Alecto the Ninth (coming soon!)

ALT version.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
