I have been reassured by several people in the know that the word "gyat" is real and not something Gen Alpha invented to mess with us.

Look at this lovely blooming rose in our backyard! It's never too late to blossom and turn things around. 💛

I'm so thrilled to announce this project that has been over two years in the making. Saga Press has acquired the anthology WE WILL RISE AGAIN, a collection of speculative stories and essays about political resistance and protest, edited by myself, Karen Lord, and @older. Including new work from @Jaymee Goh (she/her), Sam J. Miller, Nisi Shawl, @RB Lemberg, @Samit Basu, Izzy Wasserstein, Kelly Robson, Abdulla Moaswas, Vida James, @reo eveleth, Alejandro Heredia, and so many more!!

Someone described this as a "warm cat library" and I'm not sure why but I like it.

I got this scam postcard with big red letters that said IMPORTANT NOTICE above some text urging me to call them "as soon as possible" about my mortgage loan. At the bottom in teeny letters, it said "All information provided by LeadPros, not your current lender." So I laughed, and looked up LeadPros online ... where I discovered that Trust Pilot gave the company a 2.5 star rating, despite every review giving them a 1 star rating and complaining about their scam business.

Trustpilot

Leadpros is rated "Poor" with 2.3 / 5 on Trustpilot

Why we need to fight back against sexy Asian lady robots

Techno-Orientalism is a strand of futurism that condemns and erases Asian cultural power. We need to eradicate it, says Annalee Newitz

I'm way too into worldbuilding. Somebody stop me
