We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics.

What a tragically stupid country we are.

Schoolkids traumatized by lockdown drills and those who survived actual school shootings were then urged to "tough it out, school shootings are just a thing that happens."

whatever you feel about this you have to admit it's rare for a radicalized man who's frustrated or angry and ready to choose violence to actually correctly identify the source of their suffering, instead of just blaming and killing women and minorities.....

Nice. It would be another nail in the coffin of the idea that if you’re famous for one thing, you’re magically good at everything. Writing a book is fucking hard. People who can do it well enough to be hired for the job need to be recognised as skilled, specialised labour.

Probably Madeleine L'Engle and Susan Cooper, as I was a kid in the 70s and 80s and they were who were available to me (and also Mary Shelley). It wasn't much until later I found people like Joanna Russ and Leigh Brackett.
Who are your favorite women SF authors from before 1970 who are not named Ursula K. Le Guin? :)

During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA

I love so much that Martha is getting the attention and recognition she deserves. It was a long time coming, and when it came, she handled it with far more grace than most people would or could.
