Need to read Maej. I'm very interested in the topic of talking about women without setting them lower than men, an issue english has imo. I'm constantly intrigued about trying to steer wife back toward some of its older meaning—not that that'd be easy by any measure.

There's a history to this that I think a lot of people don't know. Adult movie studios can operate just fine, movie stars have to protect their wallet names or they'll get de-banked even tho it's legal. There are often city ordinances that make it impossible for the dancers to own the strip club.

In all seriousness, that's just something that keeps surprising me about kdramas. They work tone like a great DJ, mixing and cutting and fading between different storythreads with full awareness of what's blending well.

Is it safe for me to say on here that I do not believe the polls about the Midterms? I don't trust white voters to be honest about their voting intentions with pollsters.

HUGE: The Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes have both voted to impose a three-year moratorium on data center construction on tribal lands — temporarily banning dara centers on 8,000 square miles. The Cherokee Nation, Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, and the Kickapoo Tribe have all imposed similar bans.

part of readtransbooks.org ‘s mission is keeping librarians informed of trans books! you can also check out the collection of queerliberationlibrary.org to get even more ideas on trans books you can add to your library thank you for wanting to help keep trans books in circulation!

Library staff person here. Trans authors and trans non-fic are admittedly still blind spots for me. In addition to your own work (natch), where should I start?

We can actually see how mindsets favoring bottlenecks of trans care have shifted with this, such as from “are you really trans?” to “do you really have gender dysphoria?” which essentially represent the same impetus

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

Many thanks to the @britfantasysoc.bsky.social for the lovely award, & to @subpress.bsky.social for kindly shipping it to me in India (& publishing the book it's for!). THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR is a book I'm very proud of, with a v small readership, so I'm truly grateful for the recognition.

Photo of a framed 2024 British Fantasy Award for Best Novella, awarded to The Last Dragoners of Bowbazar by me. The text for the award is set in clear resin against a pale blue and sandy brown background, and the resin holds a dragon's skeleton framing the text.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

I don’t understand why people just jump to the conclusion that voters are the root of electoral outcomes but don’t consider that the people who control the most sophisticated ‘info’ output & surveillance networks on the globe have figured out how to reliably subvert the democratic process by now

the crazy thing about making time for any creative pursuit is that you literally have to do what you have a gut-deep yearning to do or else you'll see other people doing it, and it WILL make you insane.

The far right power grab is global and entirely organized, moneyed & interconnected. No matter where it happens, every pillar of free society that falls has been and will continue to be everyone’s problem. It’s a domino effect.

the international right wing and US capital have an iron monopoly on the entire planet's information technology & data flow, and are directly using this everywhere for their purposes, and neither leftists nor liberals have an answer to this because they are wedded to cellular localism.
