“Mooninite Day” is particularly poignant this year because Sean is dying of cancer and probably won’t make it to the next one.

If you want to help him out, he’s doing a gofundme www.gofundme.com/f/help-suppo...

This is a very minor quibble in the grand scheme of things, but I've been percolating on it for over a year, so here goes.

I don't think we are using "imperial boomerang" correctly.
Controversial take, perhaps but here is why.

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:
While we've gotten affirming feedback on Engine Angel, pitching unfortunately hasn't been successful. As a result, we've had to make the hard decision to lay off five team members. Each of these devs are incredible: if you have a place on your team, or know someone hiring, please keep them in mind!⬇

Um…bit bold to call the story I broke on Tuesday a “Star analysis” with zero credit to me!

This is such a bummer. I worked really hard on this one.

Contrast this with Shirley Jackson:

“The actual act of taking pen to paper…occurred on snatched time, in common spaces. Jackson’s children recall her writing in the middle of baking, perched on a kitchen stool or wedged at a folding table in the dining room.”

Which takes the greater discipline?

Ok, finished 4th book in Game Changers series and it was my least favorite. My ranking:
1. Tough Guy
2. Heated Rivalry
3. Game Changer
4. Common Goal

Also, @rachelreidwrites.bsky.social has a bartender in no4 named Aram, which is such an Armenian name. Dying to know if that was the intention.

You couldn't pay me to click on an article by a TERF in the NYTimes about Harry Potter, but I'll note that Gen Z seems to be largely responsible for the fact that ~10% of the top 100 ships on AO3 last year were HP, so perhaps let's not take the suggestion that they're rejecting it at face value.
