Opinions are not facts. Feelings are not facts. Opinions and feelings are valid. That doesn't make your opinions the truth. Feelings don't validate/ justify wrong actions.

Remember this tweet? Well, boy, have I got an update for you. We know what caused this. And it now directly affects me. Yes, lil old me 😉. The rather surprising answer is in this pic. (Thanks to @ajknights.bsky.social and Global Earthquake Model Foundation for the research!) 1/6

How bad was the Venezuelan quake? It lifted my country's - Trinidad and Tobago - coastline in some areas by 20 feet. We are many miles from the epicenter, though only a few miles from the Venezuelan coastline. And yes, we felt it. trinidadexpress.com/news/local/q...

Apex #153 and Uncanny #70: Review by Paula Guran - Locus

Apex #153 Uncanny #70 Apex Magazine #153 is full of goodies. The rich world of Claire Jia-Wen's The Bathhouse for Long Life is decidedly not our own, but the challenges faced by its women resonate with reality, even if the solutions do not. Aijira, after a thousand years, has inherited the bathhouse containing the springs of conception and abortion from her spider-demon mother. There are two tales here, and …Read More

I haven't seen one bit of evidence that this man did anything wrong far less that he deserved any of this harassment. They reviewed his work and didn't find that he plagiarised but some of you continue to insist that it must be so and put EVERYTHING HE EVER DID THROUGH A MICROSCOPE.

Ok but how how did I not realise this Siobhan Carroll's novella "For He Can Creep" was based on this real poem! I saw it attributed at the end and never thought to look it up! It was a most excellent story. A nice way start my day with this...even as my own cat begins her duties. 🤦‍♀️

I think about this at least a dozen times a day.

I need this energy going forward because it’s so hard for me to stay positive about anything art related at my current age.🥲

I am reading The World We Make by N.K Jemisin and I keep bursting into tears and scaring poor @rsagarcia.bsky.social because I do so wish this world had city avatars to fight for us. And I keep seeing the Mamdani videos and thinking... I hope New York has really just gotten theirs.

Sigh. I find this to be difficult. I doubt they understood what they were getting into back then. The extent of the theft to feed these LLMs wasn't widely known and was done under the guise of non- profit research. They tested out a thing for some money. REALLY Bad choice. But hindsight is 20/20.

How would someone even go about like, voltage imaging cortical pyramidal neurons in a mouse cortex from E16 to P7 continuously? Thats what I daydream about, I want to see that in my lifetime I think you’d need an external artificial womb, a fake umbilical cord & an imaging window that can “grow”

I just read a brilliant story by the brilliant @rsagarcia.bsky.social . If you loved Gailey's STET, you will love this. Part scream into the void, part rage, part call to action, all done through found footage, stitched together into a seamless narrative.
