I spent six and a half hours of today working on camp prep, camp starts tomorrow at an absurdly early hour, and it’s going to be approximately a bajillion degrees. I am pre-emptively very, very tired.

Use @resist.bot or @5calls.org. Your script can be as simple as below. This is VITAL wherever you are because this is NOT a MAGA supported issue. Public pressure will make a difference on electeds here. Also offices will be closed, you can leave weekend voicemails.

wtf I dozed off for 45 minutes and apparently World War III started??

Yeah, no, sorry, until AI is disconnected from plagiarism and environmental disaster as policy, it will not be viable, even for “good” applications, and at the moment, tech bros aren’t interested in “good” applications. They’re interested in people putting critical thinking in hock.

These reporters and writers who keep publishing pro-AI pieces setting the stage for their ceos to argue that their roles as writers are obsolete 🫠😒🤪

This is the way. Post the wins.

Yeah. Like. I've lived in Virginia -- a commonwealth that is mostly swamp -- my entire life. I'm in reasonably good shape. I've lived without AC. I spend a lot of time outside. I'm highly acclimated to heat and humidity. I will still not play Fuck Around And Find Out with it.

Now at Hazy Mountain. The place I usually stash myself here is blocked off for an event, but I’ve found a seat that, while not currently in the shade, should be soon, once the sun shifts a bit. 😅

The humor of it is too hot, that is the very plain-song of it.

#WIPSnips June 21: There's a lot of defending and defenders and defensive manuevers in this book, war-blooded as it is.

#PretendPanel June 21: I mean, once you sign the papers, you really don't get to make that kind of demand. It's not your baby anymore, and if you're not okay with that, you shouldn't sell the rights. I would *hope* that an adaptation would retain Aven's diversity.

Spending Litha* in basically my favorite place in the world. I swear to Juno, something inside me just *unclenches* as soon as I make that turn onto the Nelson 151.

Come, come away! The sun is high, and we outwear the day.

Hey y'know how I keep saying that GenAI, among its other sins and detriments, literally makes you worse at thinking? MIT agrees. time.com/7295195/ai-c...

Community And Choice Are Not Bubbles Disclosure: I am on the board of Bluesky and am inherently biased. Adjust your skepticism of what I write on this topic accordingly. It seems a bit odd: when something is supposedly dying or irrelevant, journalists can't stop writing about it. Consider the…

#PretendPanel June 20: Yes. Absolutely I would go for it. I like money. Why on earth would I say no? Even a bad adaptation will sell more books. The Aven Cycle would make a great prestige TV show a la HBO's Rome, but I also think it would be beautiful as a graphic novel. #WriteSky #FantasyBooks

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 20: I do love a moodboard. #AmWriting #WriteSky

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 19: Meant to do this yesterday, lol — But the theme song for this project is definitely “Irresistible” by Fall Out Boy ft Demi Lovato

It... It is possible I have too many Star Wars feels.

omg so weeks ago when it came out, I saw someone say to watch all the way through on the credits for Andor S2E12, not bc there was any extra scene but just for the music, and just now I actually did for the first time and now I'm in tears It's a journey, okay?

Oh, look, we only need just over 500 people to block JV, the star of the junior couch team, to break that 6 figure barrier! We can do this! If you’ve got him blocked via list, do yourself a favor and help make a record. Switch over to mute on that list & go block him directly.

#SFFChat A4: There's much more later on in the book, but it's all still a bit nebulous and in flux. I like this as a character moment for both Rhiann and Lycus, though.
