Very much looking forward to this!

I grew up in a conservative Christian church in MN that held fundraisers to support Hmong immigrants.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.

Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

"An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal."

It is a good day to read Dr. King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail. It is a good day to do something.

Imagine other horrors that could befall people uploading their consciousness / digitized minds in a capitalist society:

Weapons guidance, slave labor, anywhere "AI" fails. When your digital mind dies, they just reload a copy and carry on

She Won. They Changed the Machines & Rewired the Election.
We know the R's interfered in the '24 elections (voter interference, voter-roll manipulation). Now we know those occupying the White House lost the election.

In these trying times, writerly solidarity and human connection is more important than ever. These workshops don't just help you master SF/F/H writing, they're an invitation to the large & dynamic Ad Astra writing community.

SF Summer has been the core of my year since 1992!

I like showing this map to "Gulf of Amerika" fans...

Gaslighting: the core Republican strategy DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion [aka DEIA, to include accessibility]) is…

Don't know if y'all are staying away from news, but here's my most recent rant about how the right wingnuts are weaponizing DEIA to attack women and minorities:

Thanks, I'd love some advice! Especially for the Ad Astra Institute blog.

He mispronounced "bigotry."

Eyeball Surgery#1 complete, in bed cuddling Harvey.
During was like end of 2001 A Space Odyssey, psychedelic visions & felt going to die.
Saw ok after, now only laser afterimages, diffuse special effects. Disturbing but normal? Wearing cyberpunk eyegear for week then do again in 2 weeks, other eye.

Big winter storm about to hit what appears (on the radar map) to be most of the USA, thanks to a polar vortex driving south. Here in LFK we're expecting 8-12" of snow and a quarter inch of ice, plus 45mph winds. Prep for power outages, folks!

Once upon a time, not the entire internet was 4chan. Only 4chan was 4chan, because everywhere else would kick you out for Doing 4chan in their spaces.

It sounds utopian, but it is true.

Listening to our brand-new baby's little sing-song sleeping chatter with my beloved partner's breathing fills my heart with joy.

I'm now a poppa!

Harvey arrived into the world at 7 pounds 10 ounces, 21" long, beautiful, and healthy. I'm the luckiest man alive ❤

Had to search up some news, and still can't find a good reason for the declaration - apparently he just doesn't like opposition?
How cool would it be if the USA Democrats in office fought drumpf like this? But alas.

What the heck is going on? Why was martial law declared? Why would the North Korean leader be worried?

Our birdies have the same palette as the world outside today.
