It’s a pleasure to share with everyone that the June issue for the Chinese magazine Science Fiction World featured a translation of "How to care for your domestic god" (originally published by F&SF). My first story translated for the Chinese market—and I couldn't be happier.
A Chinese magazine cover. The cover illustration shows figures dressed in black robes and capes (one of the figures has a crow face) standing in what seems to be a golden grass field—the eind blows the tall grass, and dry, spooky trees can be seen in the background. Two pages showing a B&W ilustration and the first section of my story, "How to care for your domestic god." The ilustration shows a somewhat massive and distorted figure rising and seemingly threatening a pregnant woman. The woman sits on a chair and holds a closed box on her lap.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”
Tweet by Joyce Carol Oates: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"--that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation. QT of @avidreader1000 Wherever he goes, he wants to leave: SA, Canada, ultimately the U.S. in the long run, based on his behavior. This also includes Earth. A continuous disavowal of your home is odd, to say the least. He seems to have no c...

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx
guy said, “Do you like Marx?” I said, “I haven’t met him.” Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.” “Wow, what happened?” “No, no, he died long ago.” I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” “No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” I said, “Sounds amazing.” I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx. BS: The FBI. MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

Harvard Gazette: Gazette: “You are the mother of two In ten years you have produced three novels and two short-story collections. Can you talk about your process and how you manage work and family?” Groff: “I understand that this is a question of vital importance to a lot of people, particularly to other mothers who are artists trying to get their work done, and know that I feel for everyone in the struggle. But until I see a male writer asked that question, I am going to respectfully decline to answer it.”

When others scheme against people who have a uterus: "Don't you fucking mess with my uterus, this is my body and I love it."

When my period arrives: "TAKE IT AWAY! I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE! I HATE IT!"

Every time I read a post like this, I think about all the celibate women I know and how they’re fine. The problem here is that we have deluded men into thinking sex is a right like food, housing, clean air & water. It is NOT. You have no right to sex because it requires another person.
simonace.bsky.social Simon Acerton @simonace.bsky.social · 14d
I am not in any way disagreeing with you Rabbi. However with the huge number of sexless young men 18-30 is creating a social hazard.

We need to get gender relationships fixed or we'll suffer from a lot of troubles later on.

A pumpkin carved with a human shaped opening, and then the guy from The Enigma of Amigara Fault by Junji Ito has been cut out with a text bubble saying “it was made for me!” And attacked to the pumpkin so it recreates the scene from the manga where the guy is climbing into the human shaped hole in a cliff side except now it’s a human shaped hole in a pumpkin.
