The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Really, let's not start with this quote-skeeting dunking on people thing.
If someone is a dingus to you, mute them. Block them. Move on with your life. Reapply your chapstick. Have some tea.
Post a photo of your pet and move on with your day.

2) don’t engage with people who are posting mad

It’s the weekend after an amazing period of explosive growth, so the chuds are showing up tonight in droves.
Remember the Bluesky way:
They want you to react.
Do not engage.
Block and move on.

The Facebook algo keeps removing this typically beautiful and historically deep piece by Nadine Anne Hura - it's been assigned 'misleading' clickbait, maybe because of the title, even though it's a genuine explainer and thoughtful examination of this question. #ToitūTeTiriti
Why is this haka so utterly addictive that even people who don't understand its significance cannot stop watching?
Behaviour in keeping with "good taste and propriety" is not the reason this video has been viewed over 10 million times.

Hey
You know that one project?
That one you've wanted to write FOREVER except it's scary as hell & maybe you don't feel good
enough or brave enough or strong enough?
Spend 15 min on it today
Keep the dream alive
Even a pot on the back burner needs to occasionally be stirred

This week's NOVA is Decoding the Universe: Quantum. I am one of the talking heads!
I think physicists are going to struggle talking about quantum mechanics as long as we think of the quantum state - not our observational outcomes - as representing what is real.

I don't know who needs to hear this, everyone I think, but if you send a PDF to your kindle and put 'convert' as the subject it will change it to epub format for you, you're welcome

The number one advice any & every writing professional can & will give you is this:
DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK.
You have spent years reading books, watching movies & TV, developing taste to know good from bad. NO ONE GETS TO READ YOUR WRITING UNTIL YOU LET THEM. Trust your taste & write fearlessly.

Another key point: Fascists are leveraging their faith to make their ideas more mainstream. It’s time for atheists, seekers, and believers to coalesce. We can no longer afford to cede spiritual authority and space to divisive, hateful, and harmful actors
“If we picture fascism only as fringe, extreme, radical, on the edge of society,” Braune said, “then we’re going to miss it sometimes when it shows up in a suit and tie, looking very cleaned up, and calls itself a think tank."
