I think we underrate that JCO came up in 20th century New York literary circles where everyone said five most devastating insults before breakfast and as one of the last one standing, her competition is guys who get sad if their chatbot isn't sufficiently nice to them.

i actually don't find this moral panic of a story funny bc i can see exactly where it will go: —"intolerent lesbians harm the masculine raw dogging of air" —"controlling bitches" —"disability accomodations = oppression" —"why are transwomen allowed in lesbian bars but not unmasked cis women?"

In the last month I've had two separate friends ask if I could chat with someone they know who was (with no education, experience, or training) suddenly put in charge of a school library, to give them advice about how to do that job. My response has been "insist that the school hire a librarian."

I spoke to three moms who lost all of the food in their fridge and freezer during the blackout in Gary Indiana. They all had their replacement SNAP benefits denied. Experts told me they are concerned about how the state is operating the program after the disaster. 19thnews.org/2026/09/gary...

Families lost weeks of food they couldn't afford to replace. Then their SNAP claims were denied.

As the city of Gary recovers from a devastating power outage, advocates say Indiana has a simple fix at its fingertips that could get parents the help they need.

Trans people are facing a decades-long, escalating, international effort to drive them out of society supported by some of the richest, most powerful people AND governments in the world and you are right that a few of them being snippy with you on social media is, essentially, the same thing.

Natalie Harp is a year older than Martin Luther King Jr. was when he gave his I Have a Dream speech. She has agency and is running the propaganda operation that serves to put people in concentration camps. She does not get a pass because she looks like a dipshit teenager.

I am the WORST at deadlines but in the opposite way from a lot of people I know. If I don't have a deadline, like for the draft of this new novel I'm working on, I will set an artificial and unnecessary deadline for myself, and then get stressed out if I think I can't hit it.
