I wanna invent time travel and then require every high school student to take a class called "All The Shit We Fixed Before You Got Here" where they tour smog-filled US cities, polio wards, pre-vaccine hospitals, buildings with no safety regulations, kids working in mines, etc.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'
"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

if anyone is looking for last-minute gift ideas, I picked a different person from this list to make a small donation for every member of my family & share a little of their story. Molly's thread is an amazing resource with links to vetted fundraisers, many of which need big help to reach big goals
I’m going to make individual posts for the Palestinian accounts I’m boosting today so they don’t get lost in a thread but if you are looking for them all in one place I’ll link them here 🔽

This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it.

WRITING TIP FOR TODAY
Sale racks at bookstores. I'm dead serious.
Buy reference books when they are practically giving them away and build a little library. I cannot explain the difference between a book and the ENTIRE WEB.
A good reference book will give you a dozen ideas in the first chapter.

I'm going to be on @WesterosHistory this Sunday, where I will be either scandalizing or delighting fellow medievalists by comparing "The Testimony of Mushroom" to "The Book of Margery Kempe." Among other things.

In what can only be described as a fit of poor judgement, I will shortly be posting the first chapter of the Dance of the Dragons fic I've been working on for the past several years. Does the world need another WIP from me? Probably not. But hopefully it will bring someone joy.
