Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

If this show ends up being even half as good as it looks, then those who know me are unprepared for how fundamentally it is set to change my personality. Like, I will become feral.

It was a pleasure to watch this piece grow, bit by bit, on Sandifer's Patreon, and I'm glad to see it out in the world. It strikes the best balance possible between acknowledging what mattered about the man's work, and the necessity of letting what we now know about him inform our view of his career

Not gonna name any names/titles, but I've finally realized what I dislike about so called "cozy fantasies." They evoke sentimentality for me, specifically in Baldwin's definition of the term as seen in this quote from "Everybody's Protest Novel."

Look, I know the runtime is daunting, but this is some of the most intelligent commentary on genre and how it collides/tangles with marketing out there! Don't care about The Magicians? Just skip to the section where she elaborates on Delany's work in incredibly insightful fashion!

It's a very strange experience when a performer/actor you are a fan of but who hasn't "made it' yet shows up in a commercial......which is to say it was a fun/weird thing to randomly see Ross Bryant talking about a drug to treat UC. Hope he got paid well for that, royalties, etc.

Just saw the brilliant new special "Vanessa 5000." Pauroso is a fucking legend, though for my money the real hero was the random audience member with the courage and moral fortitude to let her spit in his mouth on camera.

It just sucks that anyone who wants to complain about dumbass culture war shit gets paid a million dollars by Russia and anyone who wants to investigate corruption in a Sheriff’s Department has to be like “hey can you PLEASE send me five dollars for my newsletter I’m begging you”

Seattle was supposed to be a climate refuge, too - then we got walloped by smoke, then the heat dome.
The sooner we let go of the illusion of escape the sooner we can get serious about the solidarity needed to lower emissions and prepare our communities.

Painful irony w/Helene's colossal damage in Asheville: the city recently placed #3 on a list of US cities most likely to experience "climate migration". Asheville summers are cool by Southeastern standards, and annual avg precip (~36") is low for the region.

Reading this was so cathartic, as it finally articulates a bunch of things I've been internally/incoherently screaming over for years now-----and all said/argued so well by someone who seemingly is a much bigger fan of the Outline trilogy (easily done, as I don't like those books) than I ever was!
