One of my favorite writers. Everyone follow @nnedi.bsky.social !
Library stacks at the University of Michigan.

These places are enchanted spaces and I love them. It's here that you'll find the old, forbidden, forgotten, dusty books of trouble, rebellion, resistance, and knowledge. This place doesn't care about bestsellers, face-out displays, etc.

Remember kids, blame writers for more shit. Your favorite character didn't suddenly lose all their brain cells. The actor playing the villain didn't break up then kill half of your favorite ship.

The writers did that. Fuck writers. All my homies hate writers.

Sincerely, a writer.

I know this is my hobby horse, but I'm convinced that a crucial change began in the 80s, as universities shifted upper admin from internal promotions to a hired-gun executive model. Presidents who have little in common with their faculty will find it easier to ignore them.
Professors Worry Their Power Is Shrinking at Universities
Faculty members are used to sharing power with presidents and trustees to run universities. But some presidents and lawmakers have made moves to reduce their say.

Can’t overstate how dangerous it is that vaccine denial has completely captured one of the two major parties. We’re an election or two from unraveling one of humanity’s greatest achievements. The potential long tail damage is millions of preventable deaths. Just absolutely bonkers.

Seen a few ppl wondering why no one is RTing their artwork amidst tons of folks seeing others’ stuff make numbers and gain reach. Not to sound preachy (I swear. I also didn’t want to QT anyone to seem antagonistic either) but it’s prob almost entirely b/c you’re not using alt text

Genuinely serious

I bought a little book about the Welsh anthem, and the author is not exactly pulling his punches on the first page 😳

It always sucks when you’re working on something you’re really proud of but you don’t want to say anything yet…

I got something special for 2025, that’s all I’m saying :^)
