Frida, a tortie mix cat, investigates the camera very closely

Salvador, a Cornish Rex cat, naps nestled between a person's arm and chest with one front leg stretched out in front of him

Good suspicious morning from Frida, and a good leave me alone I'm sleeping from Salvador

I also want to point out the exceptional transparency of the administrators, and their drive to uplift other voices in publishing.
That donation link breaks down award costs, urges people to look to urgent causes first, and provides links that support indie bookstores and small publishers

The Ignyte Awards have led me to some of my favorite reads in the last several years. Support them if you're able, spread the word if $ is too tight to donate!

Lots of folks asking how to join the class. My lawyers' emails and contact-form here. As well as the complaint if you want to take a look.

Your semi-weekly reminder that when we say nominations are open, we mean to everyone! Anyone can nominate a book for the Le Guin Prize, and you have until the end of the month to do so.

Great that it's been pulled, but so frustrating that they're doubling down on the concept.
From the statement released on LinkedIn - "We deeply believe in our mission to solve the “last mile of AI” by bringing AI directly to where people work"

THAT COVER 😍
So excited for this one

And a very happy hope your company gets sued into oblivion to Grammarly and every person in the approval chain for this decision

Just saying, it would be kinda rad if a poem I wrote at Seattle Worldcon even just got nominated for the Best Poem Hugo.

The dreeeeaaaammmm!

Damn you're going warp speed!

Doing some reading sprints with a discord group and honestly the best part of this is the random shit we end up talking about in between sprints. Reminiscent of chill hangouts with friends from college in the best ways

The audio of this was so perfectly on point for the vibe as well. Loved it

Hope things continue to improve for him! It's so scary to go through that

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know?

But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

Can't wait!!

Unfortunately given the state of...everything...it makes sense to me, I just hate it. There are so many projects getting pitched that would be head and shoulders above anything a reboot of this property could deliver and we're not getting them

Gorgeous pen!! And I love that style, being able to see all the pretty ink when its filled up makes me so happy

People love to forget that creators continue to get paid even when they're not directly involved with further projects using the IP. And that Whedon was far from the only stink on that show.

Seriously!! I've been watching some of the heyday of Syfy shows and Chilling Effect would be perfection in that style.

I don't usually read contemp romance, other subgenres are more my speed, but Only for a Week by Natasha Bishop is one of the best romances I've read, ever. The emotional journey happening in this book is just incredible. The family dynamics, the growth between the couple? Everything is so good.

But since we are there, having some uses for accessibility does not make it accessibility tech because accessibility includes thoughtful, transparent affordances for safety, wellbeing, privacy, and autonomy.

The joy you take in my emotional pain is nice to have as a constant in life

This book is going to gut me and I cannot wait

Just more space to fill with even more books!

Bleak for sure, but I'd take it if I could get the shots that relieve my TMDD pain for less than the cost of housing

Can't imagine a better way to drive away every user you still have

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.
