Is this

No, this is only
the end of the world
as we knew it.
If this were
the end of the world,
it would not matter
what you do next.
But this is not

I'm still wrapping my head around the November disappointment. I had not wanted to spend my golden years fighting Fascism. I've got other work to do! But, "c'est la vie." I came of age protesting the war in Vietnam. I marched in 2017. I'll march, again, in 2025. Talk to me about organizing.

What’s interesting about this WSJ survey is the size of the margins. By 56-16 forecasters say inflation would be higher under Trump; for interest rates it’s 59-16 www.wsj.com/economy/econ...

The first draft is for telling yourself the story, revisions are for telling your readers.
I don't like "Your first draft will be shitty" as advice, because it's a really negative framing.
I prefer, "You have the freedom to be messy creating your first draft."
Anyone crafter knows what their room looks like mid-creation. Writers should be as free to be as exhuberent and messy.

In warm climates, even relatively dry air can hold a lot of water - and a recently developed solar-powered hydropanel can extract it. One panel costs ~$2,000, should last at least 15 years, and can provide 4-5 L of drinking water per day. #ShareGoodNewsToo t.co/TPhGJZiV1j
How our drinking water could come from thin air
From solar panels that produce water to 'self-filling' coffee machines and water coolers, technology companies are putting a new spin on a centuries-old technique.

Just as the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, one price of free speech is eternal humility, recognizing that none of us is immune to becoming a tool of censorship if we fail to recognize how its manipulative tactics shape and distort our thoughts and actions.

I quit the bird as a protest and joined bsky to add salt into the wound--one little pinprick, but one does what one can. Already, I have a better user experience than I would have had with X.

If anyone from the last Worldcon, especially anyone involved in the sad mess that was the Hugos, wants to know what an actual apology looks like, here’s a proper one from a few years ago. You could do worse than take it as a model.
