Sounds like an epic fantasy novel with necromancers…

Only a third through and already it’s darker than Apples and Stairs. Can’t put this thing down.

I only discovered her after following her here on Bluesky. Devoured the Rachel Peng books! She should definitely be more well known!

I understand your point, but I’m not sure there’s a better metaphor. Having survived cancer myself, I know that sometimes it really did feel like a fight.

Bringing over from Facebook…
“I’m just tired of everything being political.”

So am I. I’m tired of whether a child gets lunch being political. Whether a sick person gets medicine being political. Whether a family gets to stay housed being political. Whether clean water is worth protecting being political. Maybe everything feels political because we turned basic human decency into something you have to vote for.

Thank you! So if I read the whole book on Amazon unlimited, I’m still supporting the author? That’s great!

Does anyone know how authors get paid from Amazon unlimited? If I download their book from there, do they get a cut? Is it comparable to if I buy the book outright?

Four-panel political cartoon. An older white man in a suit warns two workers, one Black, one white, "Careful. That foreigner wants your cookie." While he distracts them, the workers wrestle the plate of cookies away from him and ultimately share them peacefully together.

Extrapolation is how it was defined to me in an SF class I took in college. There are plenty of other valid definitions, but that one has stuck with me.

If we diverted some of the US military budget to fund your study, things could only get better. More fun, anyway.

It’s not that I don’t write a lot of skeets. It’s just that I overthink them all and delete 95% of them. If this one survives, it’s a miracle.

Just reread @seananmcguire.bsky.social ‘s Middlegame in prep for reading Inkpot Gods. I may never have read a book that has so much more to give in a second reading!

I learned to type (quickly, not correctly) by playing all the old Infocom text-based computer games. I owe a lot to Zork and Wishbringer and Deadline and all.

Important: Trump’s executive order is NOT legislation. Though the executive order promotes more misinformation about vaccines, nothing has changed about the availability of childhood vaccines. For evidence-based guidance, please follow and share American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.

Pretty sure Detritus wasn’t racist. He started off a little species-ist against dwarves, but he got better. I don’t remember him being orange, though. I’ll have to do another re-read. Oh, that’s *not* who you meant?

There’s a new group that aims to bring a safe space for creative kids in East Texas. There’s nothing like this in the area, and it could be a life changing support for kids who need a place to express themselves creatively. Please donate and/or boost if you can. givebutter.com/societyofwit...

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.
Refugees

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way

(now read from bottom to top)

Why is "lunch debt" a thing that exists?

It's food. They're kids. Just give it to them.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

If someone makes a thing that you don't want to see, the onus is on you to not look at it. It is not on them to stop making it. Sure, it's on them to make sure things are tagged/labeled properly. But even then if you find yourself seeing something you don't want to see: Just stop looking at it.
