In honor of #bannedbooksweek and Nobel week. Either the best or worst time to revisit a masterwork on the collapse of a society. #booksky 📚

The mechanical surveillance uterus was probably the next logical step in techbro dystopia.

Yes! It's a professional romance. They fake it until they make it, but they also vow to try and make it better for those who are coming up behind them. 🙂

My characters are mostly honest, but there is a big lie at the heart of their story. They do something morally grey to get ahead. They do it to help each other. Most of all, though, they do it because they wish their lie could be their truth. #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts

Charlie Delta (has been a ghost this whole time! 👻) @charliedeltawrites.bsky.social · 26d

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Are your characters honest?

Are they dedicated to the truth? Do they stretch the truth at times, when needed? Are they shameless liars?

Do they do it to spare feelings, to manipulate, to cause harm? Other?

He 100% just opened ChatGPT and yelled "tell me about Amelia Earhart" 💀

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 26d

Trump says he’s ordering the release of all government records on Amelia Earhart.

Trump: I have been asked by many people about the life and times of Amelia Earhart, such an interesting story, and would I consider declassifying and releasing everything about her, in particular, her last, fatal flight! She was an Aviation Pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and achieved many other Aviation "firsts." She disappeared in the South Pacific while trying to become the first woman to fly around the World.
Amelia made it almost three quarters around the World before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again. Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA

I wish people cared about the first amendment rights of authors and artists who are getting their works banned in schools and libraries across the USA as much as they care about the rights of white male comedians to be on national TV

4/ Mistakes were made... by Netflix. 😂 "Inspired by Persuasion" might have been a better choice.

3/ If Mr. Elliot looks like this, and has Anne literally drooling over him while Wentworth is a scruffy, sad non-entity... just no. 😄 (Seriously, why was he not playing Wentworth???)
