Might post some good environment news every so often to showcase that it's not over yet and there are good things happening, we just have to fight for it First: beavers are basically magical creatures that help with drought and flooding, and we're reintroducing them more and more

If you attended @terrificon.bsky.social on Friday and found a sketch book of art, my son lost his book and we would be very grateful if it was returned. Please share if you know anyone e who attended. My son is 11 and this was very important to him.

DPI only matters if you plan on printing something. There's no reason for a graphic that will only ever be posted online to be 600 dpi. (brb sending this to my design team)

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

This is no longer important, it has now become urgent. We're flying out Monday. Please share wherever, I literally do not give a crap. gofund.me/f2802ddb0

FRIENDS IN THE NYC AREA: Okay, this is a tough one, but please bear with me. My wife's lifelong friend has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is desperately seeking a home for his two cats when that time comes. The elder, Wally, is something like 13 years old and DELIGHTFULLY dim. The younger, Doris,

Here is our official statement on Small Press Expo and the labour boycott at Montgomery County Conference Center. Please spread the word and show your solidarity in the ways you can.

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

i am working on a very, very long blog post that could really have fit into a skeet: When someone posts that "this website/journal article/etc proves my dramatic claim!!!" and then does not link to the website, journal article, etc, it is because it does not in fact prove their dramatic claim.

Yup another brand to avoid. Why oh why would you give the terf more money for her bigotry. A HP vanilla, really, like really who thought this was a good idea?!? Yup no more McCormick for me if I can avoid it!

Poll results vs. how poll results are presented in the Wall Street Journal.

I'm going to keep saying this until it's rote practice: If you are in official connection with let alone in charge of an archive of data, if is your professional & moral responsibility to secure that archive, as a backup or otherwise, against just such an emergency, so we're not Hoping some kid did.

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

All the adults working on the wizard bigot show made an active decision to endorse a vile campaign of hate. We do not in any way have to reward them for that, let alone sympathize with their plight. Which they CHOSE.

Mo Ryan@moryan.bsky.social · 4d ago

what you will hear actors, writers and directors etc bleat is -- when you translate it from self-pity word salad -- "I don't want you to make me feel bad about the active decision I made." nah. they knew better and did it anyway. no part of that is on us

nothing changed, they made an estimate of the strength of their readers' principles and memory, and waited what they thought was a reasonable amount of time. now Image readers know what that estimate was

Popverse@popversesays.bsky.social · 3d ago

What changed? Image Comics is working with Warren Ellis again after publicly cutting ties in 2021 due to sexual misconduct allegations. Details: thepopverse.com/comics-warre...

I feel like we need a reminder sometimes, so there is no amount of extra hours you could've worked to keep from getting laid off. Seniority, company loyalty, importance to the project - none of it matters when you're a number on a spreadsheet. Anyone telling you different is selling something.

So embarrassing when people think the point of reading a novel is to know the plot, so a summary is just as good. The plot isn’t important, you rube. You absolute simpleton. The point of reading a novel is to find out what the characters are eating and start thinking about what you want for dinner.

Hugh Laurie is a transphobe. Didn't see that coming but probably should have. Super disappointing.

So I’ve sifted through that whole “Dobby Grave Powerline” story going around and this is what I’ve pieced together: 1. The area was already a conservation site they could put the line anyway. 2. An internal joke about Potter fans got reported as true. 3. Potter fans are defacing protected land.
