I'm not on the same path when she gets to her bit about AI, but otherwise I am enchanted.
Both beautiful and terrifying, Katya’s sublime essay in yesterday’s New York Times is a piece of writing that needs to be read (at least) twice: once for its insights, once for the pleasure of its precise, lyrical prose. Gift link:

Trunk-or-treat guy had to know that he's part of the essential goddamn fabric of the epstein files, so why the fuck did he even start with the assertion that he would release the files? And part of campaign?

Because of course that was going to be beyond his ability to control from day one, right?

The Fairy Tale series created by Terri Windling led me to seek out the retellers of tales and the folklorists + it may have been Tam Lin by Pamela Dean that started it all. And her (TW) Borderlands. The circle of writers and artists incl Jane Yolen, Ellen Kushner, Charles de Lint, too many to list
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I propose an international law that once you become personally responsible for the murder of 1,000 people, be it via direct violence or policy, you are declared a dragon and adventurers can form parties to quest against you.

AI usually means Arseholes Involved. It’s a thieving, hollowing and unethical beast of a thing. It has no place in an ethical, decent society. It has no place in Hookland and never will.

Trump speech today was the most dangerous speech ever given by an American president

those still claiming that “this was just a meeting that could’ve been an email” or any other form of downplaying what we are witnessing is downplaying the fascist threat we face.

Trump declared war against us
Breaking News: President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the military should use U.S. cities as “training grounds” at an unusual meeting focused on culture wars. It was unclear why they needed to gather senior military leaders from overseas to tell them this face to face.

There's no win here in the usual sense of you make a compromise and then pass it on a bipartisan vote. That's for when what passes is actually binding and followed. The choice is lawlessness and unconstitutionality with only the GOP voting to rubber-stamp it, or the same thing but with Dem votes. /x

The republicans are at war against America and the only opposition voice worth listening to at the national level right now is the governor of Illinois.

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.
People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Window wide open to let the music out and the cool air in.

I love that the word, air, can also mean music.

This artist is new to me, and this piece sings to me of things I actually do love about autumn. I'm determined to embrace the seasons this year, including the ones that usually make me sad.
Autumn Sonata, Klemens Brosch, 1920.
