I got halfway through thinking "surely most modern fonts weren't either" before I realized I needed to put my glasses on.
Iron Age forts simply weren't designed to deal with artillery barrages. It's a real flaw.
Following the circuit of Flowers Barrow Iron Age hillfort in Dorset is not recommended as there's occasional unexploded ordnance hereabouts 😱

It's vital that visitors check when it's not being shelled from Lulworth MoD Artillery Range:

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

We are shipping 40+ orders a day to make up for last week's snowpocalypse.
And yet I can still get you Valentine's Day gifts on time because my team is amazing.
Supporting queer business is cool, I heard.
Look to my posting on @peculiarityshop.bsky.social later this morning for sterling grabs.

Last day of this sale. Going to donate the rest of the (considerable) money you've already raised plus whatever else comes in today to Minneapolis mutual aid ASAP.
Given the continuing horror of the ICE occupation of Minnesota, we will be finding more ways to help. But this is still up right now.

Because you've been so generous I've had to restock the shop! Everything's still 25% off through 1/24. I'll donate that 25% off to one of the organizations at www.standwithminnesota.com, and @byzantienne.bsky.social will match it dollar for dollar. Go check it out!

It's hard to follow the advice "write/draw/etc. for yourself" when you never really feel like you've done anything you're proud of or happy with and your general state is "I'm always going to disappoint myself and others so it's easier to disappoint as a TOTAL failure without putting the effort in".

My dear friend @sheilawilliams.bsky.social is ill and has been hospitalized with a brain aneurysm.
She has been a rock for so many writers, and has worked quietly and self-effacingly to continue to broaden the range of voices published in Asimov's.

No.
As a reminder, the full phrase is "a few bad apples *spoil the bushel*". There is no such thing as "these bad apples"; they taint the whole organization.

i think the public-facing message re: ICE needs to be something like “let’s pump the brakes and investigate these bad apples” and then you take power and wipe the whole thing out

Any knitters out there got suggestions for an interchangeable circular needle set?
I used to have the Knit Picks set, but it felt kinda flimsy, and I've lost most of it over the years. I prefer metal needles, I need the slip because I knit too tight.

how to support New Mexico comprehensive climate legislation even before the bill is filed!
(I will post about more ways to get involved as they come up, but this is super important - whether your Rep. or Senator is an R or a D, this helps us.)

You can call your state senators and representatives and ask them to support Senator Stewart's climate legislation, which will most likely be called the Clear Horizons Act.
You can also show up in Santa Fe and testify in support of the bill in front of legislative committees when it gets scheduled!
