I’m trying something new and a little scary 🫣 I’ve got a brand-new newsletter about research I’ve come across. If you like history and cool facts, give it a read— today I’m talking about the STUNNING, in-your-face-blue of the Ishtar Gate: sierragodfrey.substack.com/p/the-ishtar...

if a woman had her child with her at work or in a meeting like elon musk it would be criticized heavily.

Writers, I want you to know that querying works. Slush piles work. I signed with my first agent through a query and when she left the business, I queried my now agent. MSWL makes it even BETTER! ❤️

Look, querying writers! Look how cool this is!

Absolutely nobody is on SS who shouldn't be. This is a long-time Republican talking point that single handedly radicalized members of my family well before trump 1.0. Anyway it's a big fat lie, just like the thing that spoke it. 😘

my favorite thing to ask my cats is “what’s the issue” because they always got some kind of issue

Friendly reminder that "turning the water back on" meant flowing reserves to a dried lake area, wasting precious reserves and possibly flooding a region. Oh and it had nothing to do with firefighting. www.newsweek.com/california-w...

Donald Trump's release of California waters stuns locals

It comes after water shortages allegedly hampered firefighting efforts in Los Angeles—a claim that state officials deny.

Hello friends. Let’s start this morning off with a pep talk. The overwhelm, confusion, and fear you’re feeling is what they want you to feel. They want you helpless, hopeless, and paralyzed. Do not take their intimidation and do not give them your joy.

IT ISN’T A BUYOUT!! There is no severance. The letter says September 30 is your last day or you accept. NO SEVERANCE. JFC get it right

Sierra Godfrey @sierragodfrey.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

This is not a payout or severance at all. The letter actually says you can just work from home until September 30 and that’s your last day of work if you accept this. I don’t expect anyone will see this, but this is an important distinction.

This man speaks in fantasy logic, eerily similar to the way my father spoke in the later stages of his dementia.

Very irritating that the Copilot icon follows me everywhere I go in Word whether I have turned it off or not. Like, sir, this is a professional manuscript! Get your AI crap out of here. And yes I have tried; there is no option on Mac to make the icon disappear. #copilot

Happy #caturday to this silly who fell asleep like this, waiting for me to notice that, ahem, it was one hour until lunch kibble!

A ridiculous orange and white cat that fell asleep while standing, because it was such hard work waiting for snacks, which were not due for another hour.

Yes. Delighted to find this in a stinky stairwell in Berkeley.

Happy new year! Hope you are reading something good. I am deep into the Will Trent series by @karinslaughter.com (I'm on book 8) and it is SUCH a good series. Each book gets deeper into the characters. There's humor. There's romance. There's blood. It's my whole jam.
