what if a book fair promoted authors
I really enjoyed this and I am grooving on your turn to valuing IRL over onlinr
Happy birthday, lovely lady!
It is really time to start coming to the conclusion that all these news agencies are so compromised by fascism that its time to start assigning some moral responsibility to the people continuing to work there.
Well, it's clear THAT guy gas never read Marx
posted over 2 years ago (Monday, March 4 2024) Ah, thank you all. I am not familiar with Sir Mix-A-Lot's body (ahem) of work. This explains the meme.
posted over 2 years ago (Tuesday, February 20 2024) what is the difference between "boo" and "bae"? How do you pronounce "bae"? < -- is an old, cannot keep up
I have no idea who Lucy Lawless is. Or who Xena is. Xenia was the name of the county seat where I grew up. It was hit by a tornado in 1974. other than that, I'm clueless.
My new favourite timesink is a very long thread on Ravelry where they try to explain memes to each other.
S/o to the Francophone convinced that "boo" was an ignorant Yank misspelling of "beau".
Sally Rooney: "I would like to ask my fellow writers & artists.. not to dwell too exclusively on what we stand to lose. There is another more important side to the story. To join in something greater than ourselves, to participate in.. a struggle for human liberation"
happy international women's day
the ALQ (Association des Libraires du Quรฉbec) added a requirement that no work be AI generated for the Prix des libraires (one of the most recognized literary prizes in quรฉbec) this year
Why did I use your exact phrasing? Sorry about that.
I am v fond of Eagleton's Literary Theory (2nd ed)
You don't seem very bright honestly
* as much of the same information as possible
just saw a photo of someone's AWP book haul; the alt text merely says "two piles of books".
Aside from a chonker by Krasznahorkai, I can't read the titles! It would've been nice to know what they are.
in other words, alt text is best when it conveys as much of the same information as the photo
I love Fargo so much.
Ramadan Market is an auction of signed books and other offers from many participating authors (including me with three signed copies of RAKESFALL!) organized by Lit for Lebanon and others. Each book sold feeds a family in Lebanon this Ramadan! www.32auctions.com/ramadanmarket
Not to hawk @lytagold.bsky.social s Dangerous Fictions again but it's such a timely and thorough discussion if issues like this are on your mind.

He was a physical and spiritual manifestation of the god Olรณkun, ruler of the afterlife that lies beyond the water's surface. That aspect of the obร is reflected in the extensive aquatic imagery featured in palace plaques. These visual references range from "river-leaf" patterns to seafaring Portuguese merchants. The mudfish is another such motif, appearing as the main subject on more than forty surviving works. Although these creatures live in streams and rivers, mudfish can also survive on land for extended periods by burrowing into mud and lying dormant. This ability to traverse two realms has made the mudfish a potent metaphor for the bร 's divine nature.โ

literally irony poisoning
#lrp Brown is such a POS
@JesseBrown Not seeing this obvious point made elsewhere, so here goes: Elle-Mรกijรก Tailfeathers referenced Oct 7th, a day when Jewish men, women and children were brutalized, burned alive, raped and kidnapped, then she immediately said "my heart is with the people of Palestine." This was a heartless and hateful statement. Quote Radheyan Simonpillai @JustSayRad ยท Mar 4 Elle-Mรกijรก Tailfeathers is returning her TFCA award best supporting performance in a Canadian film, following the organization's decision to censor her acceptance speech during Monday night's gala. Here are excerpts from Elle-Mรกijรก's email to the TFCA, shared with permission.

Personal Me: this Minneapolis fundraiser has stalled again - itโs run by people I know and I will vouch for them. Boosts appreciated too! www.icehurtsanimalstoomn.org
