the new Harry Potter show is becoming like AI to me, in that everyone keeps trying to trick me into resigning myself to its inevitability because they don’t want to let me opt out

Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.

the concern with the Arday story isn’t the fact of the media coverage, it’s the volume. it’s perfectly reasonable that there would be some coverage of the story, and basically indefensible that there was as much as there was.

Does the USPS facility at O'Hare eat every international absentee ballot coming via tracked mail? Just mine? My WI primary ballot has sat at Inbound Out of Customs for over a fucking week, which, I know from experience, means it's in complete limbo. CBP don't have it & USPS don't know where it is.

At risk of being branded humourless, I think it's bad to treat school merely as "training" for work, and bad for work to have such a strong culture of overtime and presenteeism that the rates of burnout are sky high

Seen a number of obits and tributes to Jane Yolen this week (between being a Smithie and an SFF geek), but of her many works one book of hers had the biggest impact on me, and that is The Devil's Arithmetic. Also, I was startled to find out via obit that it was nominated (rightly) for a Nebula.

A Pride reminder: If you are in the MKE area and you/your kid have court for a name change, I'm happy to come and sit at counsel's table with you/them if I am available. Parents/support people aren't allowed unless they're lawyers, and the process can be scary even in the best of circumstances.

Do people understand yet that this was never about reasonable concerns. That no compromise would ever be enough for them. They want to be able to actively discriminate against us. They want us not to exist.

For @ms.now, I wrote about the Trump administration going after Smith College, a New England women's college, over allowing trans women to attend the school. The investigation not only threatens the school, but also the surrounding town, which I live in. www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

I've been reading a bunch of older but modern (from the last 30 years or so) short SFF recently, and I keep thinking about the only time I have ever literally considered throwing a book across the room. It was about ten years ago, I had an anthology or magazine, something I'd KSed, on my Kobo. 1/?
