Some of y'all won't even wear masks during a literal pandemic, or cough into your elbow, or even wash yo damn hands after you pee; how you gonna distribute food & medicine & help mitigate virulent illness in a hermetically sealed containment space? How you gonna help fix a busted low-gravity toilet?
Thinking on social science, humanities, & space: Reading Babylon's Ashes (expanse book 6) and y'know it is truly wild of some people to think they'd survive in a space exploration situation when they won't even do the bare minimum to protect themselves & others here on earth. Just… astounding stuff…
You know how in SFF shows about The Future™ they always have shit like 10 year olds doing linear algebra or whatever? I want to see that but for them reading advanced social science and humanities texts.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

making art in the time of AI

im starting to think the overlap between people who watched the netflix horror/thriller rebirth (2016) and people who watched and enjoyed jake and amir. i think it’s just me in that overlap
i stand by watching rebirth 2016 as an extension of the jake and amir youtube series, just with different actors. jake as kyle, amir as zack. i genuinely don't know if i would have enjoyed it half as much without that association

im not naming names but a specific series made me realise my writing skills were better than that author's when i was in high school. if that author hadnt had rich parents they would not have been published.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

There's a SR novella, Abdication, I'm working on featuring Hargraves and of course the SR coffee table book, which is basically all of Hargraves' files and diaries in a visual narrative, spanning 150 years of events.

Gough raised unemployment benefits to their highest level relative to poverty - then Fraser (and his treasurer John Howard) fucked it up as soon as they could.

Hawke/Keating repaired some of the damage... then Howard fucked it up for good

I keep on thinking about how prescient Hitchhiker’s Guide was about AI. Every time I see anything about it my brain yells “listen up you stupid computer, it tastes filthy”
