"There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue."
Damn, what a coincidence. All these news orgs keep laying off the same types of people while a bilious, rapey, leather-faced buffoon provides them cover and shakes them down for money to build a library named for a man who does not read.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Secondhand Music resonated with me deeply. It dances between the lines of reality and imagination, exploring our fears and hopes for AI. Each page felt like a heartbeat, echoing thoughts I often keep hidden. #booksky #books
@aleksandrahill.bsky.social really brought it with Secondhand Music. I'm not sure which title is cleverer, this or Solitaire for Three. Another hit for Best Canadian Fantasy & Science Fiction: Vol 2 and @ourmankoto.bsky.social. Thoughtful, plausible, a hint of the fear of AI, satisfying. #booksky

God, I’ve missed writing. The last two years have been shit; every time I think I’m escaping the nonsense, something new happens.
A disastrous med switch and Covid took me out for almost two months just when I thought I was seeing the sun again.
But I’m back. This book is getting fucking written.
