Just finished “The Isle in the Silver Sea” by Tasha Suri @tashasuri.bsky.social It is about immigration, assimilation, how stories create culture, and vice versa. It is also a grumpy / gremlin reincarnation sapphic romance and it has knights and witches and The Best Cat named Maleficium.

“Bodies of Magic,” the new @freyamarske.bsky.social Freya Marske #book is Magical Medical School Murder Mystery Friend Group with a Little Queer Longing as a Treat. It’s got lots of competence, snark, and puzzles. Plus some anti-capitalism and pro-unionism. I will definitely read it again soon.

So, it’s not a conspiracy, and you are not imagining it. The biggest and wealthiest tech leaders are genuine fascists. They are leading an active and intentional systematic attack on labor. And they have radicalized each other while sidelining or removing the remaining decent execs in the industry.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

I would kill or die for Larry

A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

A listing for — and this is real — “Marrō Sparkling Bone Broth” in Blueberry Lemonade flavor. It calls itself “Wellness Fuel” and a “Revitalizing Protein Refresher.” It claims to have 12 grams of protein. The can is blue and yellow and features a skull wearing a bandana and sunglasses.

I am as confused as you are. Please know that seeing the picture would not make it make more sense.

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

Someone on Threads writes: "The Met Gala feels like real dystopian shit.

People can’t afford groceries or gas. But we’re going to celebrate this event which is nothing more than wealth porn."
