I mean, hashtag NotJustHeinlein, there were a lot of dude scifi authors who went full hornhog prose there in the 70s/80s, it was the era of Playboy and cocaine, I just don't have the ambition to go there, and if I have a horny swinger nudist phase I think we'll all be happy if I keep it to myself
Tbf, Heinlein was always a horny swinger nudist, he just lived long enough for publishers to start letting him put that stuff in his books.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

Phillip Glass was in his 30s & driving a cab when he finally premiered an opera at the Met.

And that was after studying at Juilliard & receiving a Fulbright.

That Met premiere allowed him to focus on music fulltime, but he would have been no less brilliant if he'd needed to keep driving for money.

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

The CDC’s new autism page reads like an anti-vax blog, and the agency's employees are not happy about it.

Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.

You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.

In remote Alaska, public radio stations like KYUK provide lifesaving information during natural disasters.

But Trump cut funds for public media, and that could mean deadly consequences for the rural community.

The latest from @revealnews.org:
In rural America, public radio saves lives
In remote Alaska, public radio station KYUK is crucial during natural disasters. Without federal funding, how will it survive?

Doylist analysis of Moby-Dick is fun because a. Ishmael is intentionally written as full of shit about a great many things, and b. Melville himself is also full of shit about a great many things, so every time Ishmael is full of shit you get to play a game of ON WHAT LEVEL is he full of shit?

Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit.

"Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."
