This story probes the depths of two pits of monstrosity: history and the deep sea

Every time I return to NYC, I marvel at the city’s combination of off-put and convenience, its unfriendly friendliness.
Sometimes you just have a flee the manor in a nightgown… I had a great time talking Gothic novels at today’s #MetropolCon panel with @claudiarapp.bsky.social , @rflong.bsky.social, @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social and Rogelio Ribeiro

Jane Yolen (1939-1926) was one of the authors whose works sheltered me through the gauntlet of middle school and showed me the power, beauty, and brutality of storytelling. I would not be the person I am today without her words and stories inside me.
My hot take: this series is more subtle and satisfying than ASOIAF.

Anthony Stewart Head will always be a real one for this. RIP www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/20/a...
Heartwarming story of Buffy's Giles going out of his way for a young trans fan
Tired: J.K. Rowling supporting a woman with anti-trans views. Wired: Buffy actor Anthony Stewart-Head quietly going above and beyond for his trans fans.

One week from the end of the school year, and I’m dangerously close to becoming Murderbot—though whether that’s so I could efficiently eliminate hostiles or secretly watch media while at work is anyone’s guess
