🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Are there any agent pitch events scheduled on BlueSky in the New Year?
Literary agents, if I coordinated a 1 time BlueSky pitch event would you be in?
We can call it 2025Pit.
Thoughts?
We could schedule it for say Monday 1/27 when everyone is back in the office.
I want to grant wishes!

it's kinda sad that digital work is so hidden
like there's no messy study room or bookshelves full of works you've read or letters from people and gizmos and widgets you've built or stacks of drawings and diagrams
it's all just, hidden in folders, already lost in space, and eventually lost to time

Today, 12/1, is World AIDS Day. When I was on tour for The Great Believers I was shocked by how often people blithely said "Isn't it great we have it all under control now?" While great things have happened, 630,000 people died of AIDS last year...And we have 1.2 million Americans living with HIV.🧵
