NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE LOOM TREE by Angela Mi Young Hur. A mythic magical campus novel surging with depth, mother-daughter magic, archetypal agency, fairy tale spells & the stories that unite us. And a hot frog man. Our drink is the Alvsdahl Spritz.

Singapore plans to merge several islands into a new “western island” for industrial development. Conservationists warn the mega-project could bury up to 60% of the country’s remaining coral reefs, which serve as ecologically vital “mother” reefs. Robin Hicks reports for #Mongabay.

Singapore’s plan to merge several islands could wipe out coral reefs

SINGAPORE — “For seven thousand years, Singapore has changed around these reefs,” says Debby Ng, a Singaporean biologist who studies the city-state’s shrinking coastlines of seagrasses, mangroves and…

#books #booksky well played, @wesleychu.bsky.social . I totally did not see the cliffhanger ending and was on the edge of my seat to the very end. Of course now I need to plunge into book 3. (There were a few plot points I expected, and I enjoyed the way the saga continued to unfold, but SURPRISES.)

Something a bit creepy happened: I recently started Substack on my own worldbuilding framework, posted just 1 article. This person showed up there, and then on LinkedIn. I found he’s dug out everything about me including past non-English stuff. Not sure if it’s auto AI-mining training materials 1/2

Anyone noticing anomalies in Gmail? There were emails group and individual supposed to show up but never came in my inbox. Heard similar things from people. One group mail sent to us landed in spam, when I “reply all” others said my reply was the “first contact” received. 🤔

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Best and worst thing about being a writer: you know in your body and soul you’ve got a story that could move a lot of people. But it’ll be YEARS before it sees light — if it ever does. Every fiber of your being tells you so. So you grind.

The other day I sat alone eating pizza. The pizzeria owner asked if I’d just gotten off work. I said yeah (it was 10 p.m., and I just finished a long day of writing/creating, big eye bags.) As I was leaving he handed me this HUGE pizza box with, like, 10 slices and said, “Take these home.” 🥹

One of the best things you can do for an author is check their book out of the library. If your library doesn't have the title, requesting it is also great! Never apologize. The library bought the book! Sometimes more than one! Because of you!

That said, however, as a sci-fi&fantasy writer I’m a big proponent of co-existence with AI. Use it, understand it. If we don’t—as countless tech pioneers did what they did cuz they read great sci-fi—then we’re not honoring the visionary writers that envisioned this world on page long before today.

Joey Yu Writer @joeyyu.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

As humans, storytelling is integral to the soul. One can even argue it’s the only guiding force shaping reality — decoherence into reality, by choice. An AI mind on the other hand remains in superposition for good (or else it loses its super power). We don’t want superposition. That is not freedom.

Joey Yu Writer @joeyyu.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

We read stories to experience the emotional journey of another individual — the unpredictable but willful materialization of their beliefs. We aren’t a hivemind, and we don’t want to be. We’re selective, we are blind; we see in the language of not just numbers but also faith.

Joey Yu Writer @joeyyu.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

I’m fully convinced human storytelling ingenuity won’t be replaced by AI. For so many reasons. For one, AI does not die, and therefore it has no life story to tell (at least not in a way we can relate)
