Popped up another chapter today. I'm doing a surprising amount of rewriting and editing, but I guess that's what a year of writing other stuff will do.

I support this message.

Look, for my money the absolute game changer technologies right now are batteries and biosciences, not statistically modeling a mid conversation, but you do you.

Over on /r/WritingWithAI, people are complaining all the popular LLMs are now 'dumber' and don't 'help' them write as well, unless they pay for an upgrade. Loooool.

It’s okay everyone, it’s just a “conversation” it’s not like one group has had their rights systematically nuked from orbit or anything

I really like Hannah, she’s clearly supportive of us and I loved our mention in her maiden speech.

It’s good to see she’s signed.

Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square

It was definitely mine, so I have to agree. I was so affected by it, the moment I finished it I went back to page 1 and read it all again!

I’m really close to being homeless again

I have two weeks to get the $2,000-ish I need to move and keep living indoors after April 30

I have free journalism publishing on Thuuuursday

Please send tips

Kay love you bye

everyone: I am incensed! I can scarcely believe it! how completely uncharacteristic of our nations finest institution! how could the BBC use my license fee to do such terrible reporting harming queer people and immigrants!???

queer people and immigrants: yeah that's the BBC alright.

Dan Mora's variant cover for JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERGALACTIC, by Jadzia Axelrod, Nicole Maines, Travis Moore, Tamra Bonvillain, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou.

GALAXY: AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN by Jadzia Axelrod, Rye Hickman and Jodie Troutman

We have just *two weeks* until the release of JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERGALACTIC SPECIAL and only *three weeks* until the release of GALAXY: AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN!!!!

“Murder/suicide is a harsh term. What if we went with “messy divorce?””

Legal advisers help migrants pose as gay to get asylum, undercover BBC investigation finds The BBC exposes a shadow industry charging migrants thousands of pounds to help them cheat the asylum system.

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/

I can't imagine the pain these players are feeling right now having had their sport ripped from them.

Sports bans for trans athletes are based on bigotry, not on any kind of science. It's disgusting that @womenseliterugby.us has chosen to support hatred instead of players.
#RugbyForAll #LetThemPlay

As someone for whom sports were inaccessible as a kid, either excluded through bullying or self-excluded from dysphoria, I've only in my late forties realized how much I love sport. And I adore how much it's improved my life.

Utterly appalled by the decision by @womenseliterugby.us to kick trans women from the sport. Disgusted that they recruited trans women, had them uproot their lives, and then ditched them because it's politically expedient.

The message this sends is that if you plan violent acts on behalf of President Trump, he will do everything in his power to make sure you see no consequences.

Every single one of them needs to be permanently blacklisted from federal employment, with negative references to the police departments they inevitably get hired at

And that's while the investigations and prosecutions get going

also i'm pretty sure two back to back double-shifts as a line cook would absolutely destroy Mike Lowe

Home - Not in our name Not In our Name: Women in support of the trans+community

Are you a cis woman who is fed up with transphobes using you as an excuse for their transphobia…?

Now is a good time to sign the @nionwomen.bsky.social petition against this. Only 1,600 signatures to go to hit 100,000!

if you see this post an image you saved because it made you laugh.

Can't wait for the US navy to finally fire on another white country and finally actually piss other westerners off enough for them to do something

Great idea 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Eric Swalwell gets way more benefit of the doubt than every trans woman alive which is weird because there aren't CNN stories with multiple credible accusations against random trans people

Black women are still working twice as hard for less, new economic report finds Despite leading in education and workforce participation, Black women continue to lag in pay, wealth, and retirement security.

A new study shows that Black women outpace every other group of women in workforce participation. Yet they are still paid less & retire in poverty at twice the rate of white women. This is a system. It is long past time this country started carrying them the way they have carried us.
