I'm not even begging young ace/aro and queer people to read Sherronda J. Brown or Kai Cheng Thom. I'm just begging them to actually *read*.

No joke, I was mystified at the title marketing for the latest CoD game, and then I remembered that 사 actually is 4 in the Korean cardinal number system. Duh. It's also of course associated with bad luck and death. Well played, ActivisionBlizzardKingMicrosoft-whateveryouarenow.

I was considering getting an M6 Mac mini to replace my venerable 2013 hand-me-down iMac that's been serving me well since 2023. But maybe I should try to get one now to avoid the AI-fest which is macOS 27 Golden Gate...

At Word on The Street Toronto, I notice a right-wing conservative Christian group hawking their wares. So ironic to see a group diametrically opposed to reading advertising at, of all places, a book festival.

Fake. USDA. Seals. Used by an NC meat processing plant on 83.5 TONS of meat. Produced entirely outside the federal inspection system, according to news reports. We are pretty close to The Jungle (second ed.) now, no? www.scrippsnews.com/life/recalls...

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

LOL, the gotcha part in the second paragraph is truly hilarious. Who will think of the straight white rightwing men in the literary world? WHO? WHO?

Last week, the longlists for the National Book Awards were announced. Among the 20 authors in the fiction and nonfiction categories, nearly all are straight white males. Most are also on the political right, some even on the far right. Remarkably, mainstream media outlets haven’t reported this, perhaps because they don’t think it’s noteworthy. It’s as if we were living in 1956 rather than 2026.

If you’re scratching your head at this “news,” well, it’s because I made it up. Or rather, I inverted the particulars about the authors’ identities and their political views to make a point: If today, as a reader, you recoil at the thought of a time in which minorities were systematically marginalized when it came to the literary world’s public honors (and so much else), shouldn’t you also recoil now that the tables have been almost completely turned? And if you object to the right’s efforts to politicize the arts, won’t you also object when the efforts come from the left?

If nothing has ever happened to you, then you are at the absolute *peak* of privilege. Nothing has been a problem because nothing has been a problem for you in particular. You have chosen to, your whole life, refuse to empathize with other people.

As I say elsewhere, the alternative to this toxic dynamic is love. It truly doesn’t matter which religious path you take. If sincere love is your motivation and your compass, you will avoid this horrible trap of selfishness.

Tierra Walker knew continuing her pregnancy would kill her. She was having seizures and blood clots. Doctors disagreed and chose for her. A voluntary abortion would have saved her life. Walker died because no one would give her a basic medical treatment that she requested.

I have to hand it to the white supremacists and anti-Black racists in the asexual community. They rallied entire groups of asexuals of colour to vehemently oppose an alternative ace flag created by a Black woman, intended to give BIPOC aces more representation. (Actually no. It just sucks.)

This week's #FridayFling prompt is "flower," so here's a snippet from Enchanting the Fae Queen, in which Gerard has awoken to discover himself kidnapped & bound to his nemesis's bed. And he is OUTRAGED. Definitely. Only... ;) stephanieburgis.com/books/enchanting-the-fae-queen #romancelandia

The illustrated cover for Enchanting the Fae Queen, by Stephanie Burgis, shows a mischievously grinning woman with long blonde curls, a moonstone crown, a pink dress and bare feet, sitting perched in a tree teasing the uniformed general who stands before her, his expression determined and one of his hands around her closest leg while she pokes his strong nose with one finger. Vines of leaves sweep magically out from the tree around her to draw him towards her. The tagline reads: All’s fae in love and war. The text beside and below it reads:As she glided towards him, the shimmering golden fabric of her gown brushed softly against the sides of the bed, and he found himself intensely, unavoidably aware of his own position, splayed across the silken covers of the mattress and bound by impossible chains of flowers. He’d already felt their magical implacability; he wouldn’t humiliate himself by fighting against them now and failing under her delighted gaze.
Thank all the gods that it had been too cold in his tent last night to sleep unclothed. He was still missing his polished boots, vest, cravat, and uniform coat, but at least his chest and outstretched arms were fully covered by a long-sleeved, high-collared cotton shirt, and his legs were safely sheathed in woolen trousers.
There was no actual, practical possibility that he could feel the heat of her lingering gaze through those layers.

Because you don't allow it for trans women, and therefore any women. It is not progressive to create a hierarchy of sex-based rights, to allocate rights and dignities according to arbitrary biological criteria, or to demand invasive tests based on suspicion alone. Shifting harm is not progressive.
