if infrastructure is what connects people, holds them together, serves, supports, and endures, then Dolly Parton was infrastructure.
She didn't die. She sailed West, to the Undying Lands and remained Galadriy'all.
People Magazine @people.com · 18h ago🔗: bit.ly/4qC1fWV Legendary singer-songwriter and country music icon Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80. Her nephew revealed the news in a Aug. 25 Instagram video. 📷: Getty
Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

Friends, book reviews are drying up. We all know this. But it's worth repeating. Advance reviews we used to (gratefully!) count on are no longer a given; we're not getting them. Newspapers where intrepid reviewers used to talk about our books . . . well, you know. PLEASE, if you read our books . . .
This interview with Melanie Buggey, who just swam across the Georgia Strait besting a 60-year world record, has me in absolute stitches. What an icon lolll www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...
🏆 “The context of this year’s award is acutely political.” Here’s @thehubble101.bsky.social on this year’s shortlist for the Hugo Award for Best Novel. In part one, they look at A Drop of Corruption, The Raven Scholar and The Everlasting … what might the fantastical turn in the Hugos mean?

Thoroughly delighted by this time-travelin’, fascist-hatin’, angel-touchin’ romp EVEN THOUGH @cahokiajazz.bsky.social has very rudely left me hanging from a cliff and hoping for a timely sequel.
Since other people are already talking 2027 releases, guess it's time for my niche: here is a post for listing out weird fiction publishing next year. Readers, writers, presses, publicists, whoever, let me know what's what.
Looking forward to talking about anime and reviewing at LA World Con. Good luck to all of the 2026 Hugo Award finalists, including the awesome fanzine I write for: @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social and my favorite podcast (I’ve been a 3 time guest❤️): @hugogirlpodcast.bsky.social
when they say "AI is magic!" maybe they mean it in the fantasy literature sense, in that for 95% of the population you're still living in a reeking hut with all your animals for heat, but for a handful of faraway, secluded individuals it is very important for things almost no one understands
The fact that this ruling came down from a private arbitrator is WILD to me
Karen Attiah@karenattiah.bsky.social · 2d agoBREAKING: After the Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I fought back. And I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post. They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/b...
A private arbitrator has ordered The Washington Post to rehire the opinion columnist @karenattiah.bsky.social, who was fired in September over her social media posts about the assassination of the conservative activist Charlie Kirk. It also ordered the company to compensate her with back pay.
