As a trans man I'm telling my fellow men to stfu when women talk about misogyny and sexism. I experienced it plenty as a young person, when I was a girl. If you as a man are uncomfortable when confronted with your own privilege maybe it's time to do some self reflection.

I'm doing copy-edits now (for two different books!) and whenever I get to one of those (sadly correct) notes that identifies a timeline issue or a plothole, I'm basically like "Well, I guess I'll delete the book now and walk into the woods."

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

I love not using AI. I love reading books written by human beings, hand-sewing little creatures, watching for bats during dusk, listening to human experts to learn about a topic. Not using AI is very fun.

"died and came back wrong" is the trope of all time like what do you mean I brought you back from the grave because I couldn't live without you, and now I fear I've made a grave mistake. Who are you. Who are you.
