Convincing you to read my novel with the first sentence (okay, two, in order to make a neater cutoff!) Share yours if you want.

This is from THE INK WITCH.

New from 404 Media: people are 3D-printing whistles to warn each other about the presence of ICE. Some people make designs and upload them; others are given a design and are printing hundreds and hundreds of whistles at home. It's been effective in Chicago

The Latest Defense Against ICE: 3D-Printed Whistles
Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

You Gotta Eat by @margareteby.bsky.social. This is amazing! A cookbook for very simple recipes that take almost no time or money but still feel like a finished meal. Everyone should just be issued this in their teens. It has opened my eyes to the possibilities of bean salad.

Rodeo Hawkins and the Daughters of Mayhem by John Claude Bemis and @nicolemillo.bsky.social (middle grade graphic novel.) A wild multiverse adventure about rebel kids taking on morally compromised paladins; the art and the tech/magic mix give it a bit of a Nimona vibe. Read it!

My phone has these obnoxious text auto-response prompts which you can't turn off, and it's awful. Except! I discovered that they go away if you swear. So now I have to swear in every conversation to drive them off, like a superstitious peasant invoking a protective charm. Thanks a heap, technology.

And now, a physical metaphor for "LLMs can be just as good as human writers and artists!"

(And I know, I shared it twice. But it's just that nice!)
just....enjoy this

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

This one doesn't seem like it was thought through all the way.

One thing I loved about Solar Opposites is that even though it had the modern short seasons it still did absolutely wild Halloween and Christmas specials. Just going all out.
You know what is a weird thing I miss about regular TV seasons?

Obligatory seasonal holiday episodes.

Like, no one dropping 8 episodes in July is going to give you an unhinged Halloween ep, a totally inappropriate murder on Christmas ep, and probably some weird Valentine's Day nonsense.

I just read Jaws for the first time (I haven't seen the movie, either) and it's one of those books that's very readable without being at that good. I mean it's a real page-turner, it's just a very 70s Guy novel and more of it is devoted to Ellen Brody's affair than to the actual shark hunt.

Everyone's focusing on the 'there were no children's hospitals' part of this (which is of course wrong), but how ignorant do you have to be to think kids didn't get sick? Buddy, look up how many children any historical figure had and notice how they give two numbers and the second one is smaller.
I was born at the children’s hospital in Washington DC

I got another nice review for The Ink Witch, this one from School Library Journal! "A fun and fresh take on traditional fantasy and witchcraft; highly recommended." Yay! #booksky #kidlit

If you donated to Platner via ActBlue, you can get a refund!

Contact them NOW and ask for your money back!
I donated to his campaign. I was pissed off when it was revealed he worked as a merc, and debating what to do when the tattoo & queerphobic posts came out.

I contacted ActBlue, asked for it to be returned, got an acknowledgement of the return a few hours later; 2 days later it was in my account.

It's always great to give to your local food bank, but with benefits running out soon it's about to be especially important. Please give them something if you can! (Even though buying food feels more satisfying, I'm told just giving money is actually much more effective.)

I saw Straw Hat flags at No Kings on Saturday! As someone who's been following the series since before its US debut, it was really cool to see its values directed towards real-world ends.
A big reason why One Piece has become such a popular symbol of modern protest and resistance isn't just because Luffy topples dictators and rancid monarchies, but due to the way he effectively rallies the collective hope of the downtrodden. It's not only a story about him. It's a story about YOU.
