Hey you don’t need to tag me if you see a woman with glasses to tell me that we look the same. That’s a just woman wearing glasses. All you’re telling me is that your visual understanding of the world is less than skin deep. You are staring at a surface understanding from the moon

Same reason targeted marketing is effective. Women will read things targeted to men, because that is cross-identifying to a higher status. Everyone resists cross-identitying down. It’s the same reason for the “I’m not like other girls” phenomenon.

Elizabeth Spiers@espiers.bsky.social · 2d ago

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

“Sure ‘fight’ is a nice sentiment but Democrats are in the minority, so what do you insist they — “ NOT. THIS. That’s it. Bare minimum. Do not vote for his nominees. Do not grant unanimous consent. This is a very, very low bar.

This is a cute picture of Thomas, but what I want you to look at is the orange comforter. See? It's very orange. We THINK it's from JCPenney's originally, but we don't know for sure. Most importantly, it's old and well-loved, and dying. I need to find a new one, same comforter, to replace. Help?

A freshly shaved blue tabby is curled into an orb, a copy of THROUGH GATES OF GARNET AND GOLD resting against him. But what I want you to look at is the orange bedspread. See? Ooooo, so orange.

It was so damn depressing to watch every TV writer who was willing and eager to have open, intelligent conversations about their process get hounded off social by a combination of aggressive stans and belligerent wannabes defending the right to be a shithead to creatives

I keep thinking about the discourse from the other day suggesting writers are gatekeeping writing information for ourselves and I just think back to 2019 when every writer was out there giving away writing advice until one by one each stopped because social media blows and we can't have nice things.

I hate the fact that life has turned into an endless series of single-use kitchen gadgets. Want to go to a theme park? Better install their proprietary app. Want to go to another theme park owned by the same company? That will be another app.

I love everything Seanan writes, but these books are MY FAVORITE. I don't just think they're the Best Series nominated for this year's Hugo, I think this is the Best Series PERIOD.

Seanan McGuire@seananmcguire.bsky.social · last wk.

As we enter the last week of Hugo voting, a reminder that October Daye is up for Best Series, and winning would be made SO MUCH SWEETER by the fact that I could take my trophy and inform the room "I'm going to Disneyland," then ACTUALLY DO IT, since Disneyland will be less than a mile away. WOW!

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
