Tomorrow, Minneapolis! I'm having a conversation with my friend Low about the new anthology Queers at the Table at Magers & Quinn. Register in advance!

It’s got a rough subject, but told really sensitively and passionately!

That's how I found Dexter Masters' The Accident, a devastating fictionalized account of the Demon Core accident that was pretty controversial in the US, For Some Reason. Definitely making my year-end roundup of books. And thanks to @dannymlavery.bsky.social for the indirect reccommendation!

He described how one of his characters was influenced by the life of writer Joan Brady, daughter of writer Mildred Edie Brady, who caused a bit of a stir when she married her mother's former boyfriend, a writer who specialized in work about nuclear mishaps.
Me: wait, books about nuclear mishaps?

An example of the sort of cultivated serendipity that really paid off this year: I subscribe to @dannymlavery.bsky.social's newsletter, where he talked about development for his book Women's Hotel (it's great!), which also led me to a total left-field discovery of one of my favorites this year.

Really enjoyed this video essay by @pagemelt.bsky.social that clarified what I realized I'd been doing the last year for discovering books to read.
(and I simply must track down that book about J Dilla)

Doorknocking on a gorgeous fall day because the “fill up the punchcard and get a free thing” system works on me.

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

Tomorrow's the big day, and thanks to the GoFundMe plus some outside help, I'm at 3200/3800. I'm hoping that's enough for them at this point, but I am still experiencing extreme anxiety. Share if you can!

I also have paypal if anyone would prefer that: PayPal.me/abbylarkspur

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.
