Lol. I'm back at it this week while I burn through your opus of witches.

Godzilla walking up on the Statue of Liberty. Search your feelings.

Godzilla Minus Zero drops in November. My final Khumalo fantasy drops in December. The intervening months: hyperventilating and palpitations.

If we get the publication of @brklyndragon.bsky.social's Burn It All Down: The Ballad of Hurricane Jane in there, I'll become a monk.

This magazine has been keeping me up to date with the field for over 30 years, and I learned SO much from it as a young writer. The thoughtful, in-depth interviews alone are more than worth the price of subscription!

congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers

Bunnies in a raft pull up next to a spaceship capsule, which has just splashed down and is floating in the open sea. Visible in the capsule, two bunnies wave at the ones in the boat.

Daily bunny no.3285 made it home safely

Exponents are for lazy people who like to take shortcuts.

(this is now TODAY!)

There is somebody in Trump's cabinet who is charge of the shiny object, and they are so fucking tired.

The staffer I spoke with was like this. I told her we need more than condemnation of rhetoric, the world needs to see leaders calling for his removal. She said, in a very pleasant, unbothered tone that she'd pass my message along. Surreal. Like I'd expressed my preference for public transportation.

Fascinating, informative, and insightful thread that deserves article space tbqh

Back in college, I had a poster of the Blue Marble photo on my wall rotated to a south-up orientation just to watch people's heads explode, so it didn't occur to me until just now that this image would be confusing.

The Sahara is kind of a "can't miss it" landmark.

The news needs to stop mincing words about what Hegseth is doing: restoring racial segregation to the US military by preventing anyone but white men from advancing

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

NASA's Artemis 2 pilot Victor Glover listens to 'Whitey on the Moon' every Monday. This is why. "It ain't about racism. It's about the human condition."

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...

Meanwhile, we're going back to the moon.

my level of stress has crossed a threshold where i think it would be funny if trump attended the birthright citizenship oral argument and scotus incoherently ruled in his favor 6-3. cortisol levels so high that i can't stop lolling about all my family members in danger. wouldn't it be funny tho

This is a tenrec!

They ecolocate, like bats! They have cloaca, like birds and lizards! They communicate by rubbing quills together! Their closest relative is the Otter Shrew, but they're pretty closely related to Elephants - far closer than they are to Hedgehogs, which they kinda resemble!

I recall a poetry prof from another life, who said that you're not a writer if you don't love words, and I don't think you love words if you're letting a computer pick them for you.

Well then,

Where are the white hat hackers when you need them?

This is what you do with fame.

this is turning out to be one of the onion's all-time classics

GOOD.

US Troops Are REFUSING to Fight in Iran War YouTube video by Zeteo

#Army. #NOKINGSDAY
American soldiers today grew up the shadows of the forever war on terror and chose to serve anyway. Then Trump+Israel+Hegseth happened.

You can't conditioned people to believe in honor then tell them it's honorable to bomb schools and fishing boats.

You don't wanna be a tradwife you just want secure housing, access to cute outfits, and time to pursue your hobbies.

The Birds That Run the Land Indigenous knowledge is helping conservationists manage delicate ecologies.

My latest! This piece on the extraordinarily long history of indigenous bird knowledge has had a *very* long and winding road to publication, and I'm super happy it found a home at Foreign Policy. A hearty thanks to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social for snapping it up and carrying it over the finish line!

How Trump turned these fucking anti-semite , anti-democratic ass holes into Internet heroes is a master class in exactly what not to do if you're a national leader. You could literally title the chapter: do the exact opposite of Trump.

Better that they be prepared early for the possibility of time loops!
