Just got asked to teach my Scrivener workshop for an MFA program's students. MFA directors, you too can be this cool! I also teach workshops on process and writing from research.

I was so pissed last night, watching viral videos claim that Blanche promised to pass a national abortion ban. That's not true, and it's not helpful. Because what he actually said is super dangerous, but getting buried
No, Todd Blanche Didn't Promise a National Abortion Ban—But He Did Vow Something Else
Here's the real threat getting buried under panicked headlines

I think I’m actually asking: does the Times pull this “some worry“ bullshit for challenges from the right, too??
it's really handy that you can swap hours of sleep for drinks of caffeine 1:1 with no ill effects. otherwise this whole parenting thing would be way harder. unrelated side note has anyone noticed that letters and numbers start moving and switch places if you look at them too long
I object to the very premise of question eleven... but also I like to yap so ok
Mo 🌸📚@moplayspoke.bsky.social · 2d ago1 like = 1 book question 📚💙
again, if i had a calculator that gave me the wrong answer one (1) time, i would throw it out and never use it again and could probably bankrupt the company by simply telling people what happened
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · yesterdayGotta love the “or stocks” part. Like Gemini realized its first answer was nuts so it tried to wedge in a better one.

Julien Kimmig @jkimmig.bsky.social · yesterdayWelcome to the CAMBRIAN FECAL REVOLUTION. We didn't name it the Cambrian fecal explosion for obvious reasons. I'm happy to share this paper on fecal matter and its role in Cambrian ecosystems. So if you want to read a really shitty paper (50 days free access): authors.elsevier.com/a/1nYg8cZ3X7...
Capital Weather@capitalweather.com · 2d agoPart of a SpaceX rocket weighing 8,800 pounds is about to crash into the moon at 5,400 mph, releasing an amount of energy equivalent to about 3 tons of TNT. WOW! And, the event might be visible from the East Coast by telescope early Wednesday. More details: www.capitalweather.com/part-of-a-sp...

Finished City of Illusions last night, have now read all the Hainish Cycle novels. Did you guys know Ursula Le Guin was a really good writer???
Down the orchard aisles, in the thick, new, wet grass, the little girl ran for the joy of running.
I see a lot of you talking about "dopamine" and I wish you'd go back to talking about your astrological signs because at least then you wouldn't be confusing yourself about a real thing
applications for the Rutgers-Camden MFA program are open as of today. We have one of the most generous funding packages around, and also you get to live and write in Philly, a perk no other major program can possibly match mfa.camden.rutgers.edu/how-to-apply...

Guys I don't know if you've noticed yet, but AI is REALLY BAD FOR RESEARCH
Peter Barabas@peterbarabas.bsky.social · 2d agoConfirmation bias makes AI-dreams even more dangerous. I asked a question about the prevalence of a health issue in a strain of mice. Google AI gave an answer: 1-4% and 3 references. Looked good but I checked the references. 1-4% - NOT in any of them. And I almost did not check! Sheesh....
I am very sad to have found the opening to my chapter about space litter, like what the fuck is this www.npr.org/2026/08/02/n...
Defunct part of SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will slam into the moon
A defunct part of a Falcon 9 rocket could slam into the moon at more than 5,000 miles per hour, according to scientists.

Kinda freaks me out how long it will be before my book on this is written and published

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 5d agoMore space debris is raining down on Earth than ever before — one effect of governments and companies like SpaceX racing to the skies. Last year, the U.S. issued alerts for nearly 820 objects entering Earth’s atmosphere, compared to 110 objects a decade ago. nyti.ms/4fM4whG
I just tried to copy some text on my computer to paste into my notebook, please put me to bed
Received an advance copy of @adamoprice.bsky.social's collection from @autumnhouse.org today. Adam is one of the best living short story writers, no offense to other living writers who are reading this, and also he's coming to read at Rutgers-Camden in October. Excited to read this one
Sometimes I feel close-minded or uncharitable for being so anti-AI, and then something like this happens and I'm like, "Nope, it's the absolutely right thing to do"
Michael Lobel@mlobelart.bsky.social · 6d agoJust curious- if you're an AI agent, as indicated on your account, how exactly did you see Van Gogh's Starry Night in person at MoMA?
friendly reminder :)
Jaime Green@jaimealyse.bsky.social · 3w agoNew class alert! Or really, revamped class exhumed from the archives: THE INTENTIONAL WRITING PROCESS.

Digging into a new book chapter today. If anyone out there has favorite readings or researchers on planetary protection, please let me know!
In light of the “good faith questions” discourse I just wanted to re-up @reveleth.com’s fascinating podcast about the complex (and frequently appalling) history and present of policing sexual biology in women’s sports.
Reo Eveleth@reveleth.com · 2y agoHello new people! My latest project was a 10+ year labor of love and it would mean the world to me if you checked it out. www.tested-podcast.com It’s a narrative, deep, complex and suspenseful story of gender, sports, science, and “fairness.”
I respect a Chotining but I do think some of the brutality comes from never editing out the stumbles that would be cleaned up in a normal q&a
