Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.

I have these calendars. They are so pretty. @megstampede.bsky.social made them. They have a bunch of animals on them, like crows and humpbacks and cuttlefish and salamanders.

Alice Wong is gone and I'm gutted. We go too soon, too many of us. 💔 Grateful we had her as long as we did.
Rest in power. I hope the ancestral party is rad.

I have been a monthly sustainer of Crips for eSIMs for Gaza for some time. As Alexander says, if you want a way to honor and mourn the memory of the fierce organizer for disability justice Alice Wong, please join us. Rest in power, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social
One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

One of the highlights of a short trip to Yunnan last week – the Spot-breasted Parrotbill: an icon for functional morphologists, an insectivore with the 'wrong' beak (stubby like a seed-eater) which nonetheless makes ecophysical sense because it uses bite-force to snip through grass/bamboo stems

thanks to these dogshit contracts I'm no longer submitting to Analog, Asimov's, or F&SF; it's infuriating that as opportunities for short fiction writers contract, the Big Three are helping make it happen
On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
