I block quickly
Pinned
Hey there, if you’ve followed me without any prior interactions and then been blocked, it means you never bothered to read my bio or couldn’t be arsed to say hello before clicking “follow”. Either way, as per my stated policy, best of luck elsewhere.

If your Marxist critique doesn’t recognize race as a structure of domination, then it’s worth fuck all to me.

unfortunately, we found a fair number of best of sf anthos were just authors turned editor publishing their friends in a circle jerk of white male writers propping each other up and then by dint of that creating "classics" that did not hold up
NGDL, that TOC is fire. I respect both the usual range of what many call “classic” or “must-read” authors & stories & the very obvious work to counteract the traditionally exclusionary element of that perspective via a broad inclusion of and focus on BIPOC, non-European & modern era creators.

Should have taken photo of adorable possum that's been getting into our chicken coop, who I finally caught and rehomed. Tis season of Dogs Murder Everything; was anxious to re-home it before it inevitably had 30 babies the dogs would murder over 2 weeks and traumatized me for life like last time

This is also true in Canada, on both Amazon and Apple at least.
As pointed out to me by @tiffpocalypse.com, @seananmcguire.bsky.social's The Rising: The Newsflesh is on US ebook sale for $3. I decided this deserved a larger budget, so I got 10 copies for random giveaway.

Happy Soul Ace Day to my fellow Black asexuals! Here is a primer on Soul Ace Day that I wrote this time last year www.intomore.com/culture/iden...
There's a new holiday for Black asexuals and I'm here for it - INTO
Given that Black asexuals get twice (or even thrice) the amount of grief, I was happy to learn about SoulAce Day

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

Prince George to Vancouver or bust
“The imminent return of trains to northern Ontario and the Gaspé Peninsula is great news. But we need to make sure it’s only the beginning of a long-lasting national passenger rail revival.”

@taras-grescoe.com makes the case for Canada’s trains.
Opinion: Canada’s passenger rail lines are getting revived after decades of vanishing service
Across North America, there is a grassroots clamouring for the return of railway lines that once provided a reliable and affordable alternative to cars and planes

NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis says socialism, defined by bold public solutions, not managerial caution, can rebuild the party after historic losses.

He’s betting it can unite a majority across divided regions and broaden the party’s coalition.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Feb 14: College sports

Why is the Black college graduation rate so low? Why do so many Black men go to college to play sports, and then drop out? Why did NIL passing increase college graduation rates and increase college sports revenue?

I have vowed that if I ever win a Hugo, I will get a tattoo.

If you like any of the works below, or just want to see me get ink, give me a nod on your ballot.
Probably because @sfwa.org has just launched the revamped Nebula Recommended Reading List, a lot of people are posting or re-posting their eligibility posts.

Hold that bandwagon, I'm getting on.

the last sentence there is really important to keep in mind when contemplating the expansion and growth of the ATmosphere.

Im not saying the liberals need to avoid the very slightest intimations of cronyism and conflicts of interest the way a vampire needs avoid sunrise on a garlic farm, but I’m not not saying it, that’s for d’anges sure.

I had the extremely distinct experience of spending 3-4 years vastly under-appreciating my luck in studying under arguably the greatest judoka in Canadian history, who was in his 40s at the time (just looked him up and holy cow he’s not only still alive at 83, but apparently still teaching)…

I‘m reposting this because Shigidi is one of the best danged books of the decade so far, and I’m lousy at writing reviews. So here’s a review that makes it sound so good that it isn’t immediately evident that it’s actually way better than the review suggests.

Reeeeeaaaaaad it.
