buff.ly/wcfxXP9 trying not to be grumpy for 55,000 ferry commuters who don't have boats to take them to hospitals, jobs, clients, school, and other critical aspects of daily life. The ferry engineer sick out has taken boats out of service since last week. That's 30,000+!

Chaos is gripping Washington State Ferries Monday morning, with major ferry runs canceled and thousands of passengers left stranded amid what appears to be a widespread sick-out by ferry engineers.

So I cannot go to the city by ferry. That means I—and 10s of 1000s of other people—have to drive 2 hours *one-way* around the *entire Puget Sound* to get to work, school, medical appointments etc on $6/gal gas. Why is this not in the fucking news????

F WORD ep4: “Ask me how I know about ultraconservatism”— Sometimes we grow up seeing monsters under the bed, are told they're nothing. 50 years pass and we see them, every one of us, sitting right in front of us. What is the John Birch Society and how did I know about them at age 10? buff.ly/E5eHxlN

I finally managed to cobble together a story, "Silver Alert," for these pretty tricky prompts. Join the Beneath the Rain Shadow podcast live tonight, Sept 30, at 530p Pacific to see if my draft lives to see another day or crashes and burns! Host: Fermented Fiction buff.ly/YCR0eG2

I'll add another thing to this thread about 'invisible' misogyny: a lot of the time it also presents as chivalry. Putting women on a pedestal, 'yearning' for them; all part of a misogynistic othering of women which can likewise explode in 'surprising' ways.

The raw visceral hatred some men have for women, at least women who step out of line, is shocking. I know it sounds like some sorta "one of the good ones" ploy but I am genuinely taken aback when I see it because I think: I had a fairly normal socialisation as a man in the west, how did I miss this?

Read all this if you haven't yet. It's absolutely rage-inducing, but you need to know who the Enemy is, in their own smug & thieving words

The class vice president, who was a pretty, straight-laced scholar, broke her code in the last 2 weeks of senior year to go to a party and was gang raped (they called it “getting trained” back then). This was 1983.

It always blows my mind when a political candidate can’t fulfill the most basic necessity of running for office—Being In A Place. It’s an expression of pure contempt for voters.

I absolutely refuse to support any author using genAI in any aspect.

Tamara (Rhymes With Camera) Sellman @rhymeswithcamera.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

At this point, *everyone* in every aspect of publishing needs to disclose their AI stance. That includes readers and reviewers as well as writers, book designers, editors, publishers, audiobook producers, etc

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I think *all* authors are targets, I’ve been getting these for a while now and I have 4 books. My friends who are NYT bestsellers also get these. But those who’ve published for a while know to recognize these scams; it’s the newer ones, the self pubbed esp, most likely to fall for “the fool’s gold”

Thank you. This is getting out of hand and newer authors, especially, do not seem to recognize the tells.

Totally unacceptable as it feeds work without the writer’s consent into an LLM.

I’m pleading with all ALL school districts to consider how it looks when you use genAI for presentations, flyers, lessons, etc. while telling students it’s not okay for them to use it for shortcuts. Our job is to model and to show them effort matters.

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

I have to say if you are a Democrat and you vote for Susan Collins or Fetterman... you are kidding yourself with the Democrat thing. The number of important votes they handed the GOP / NAZI party is not a small number. They are not Democrats, they are not worthy of your trust.
