There are lots of people in the South who absolutely did not vote for Donald Trump and yet are about to enter a deadly "finding out" phase of their neighbors' fucking around.

I need to watch this, marking it here.

Happy Pride month from @neonjawbone.bsky.social and I's best girls. The Pirate and the Porcelain Girl is, above all else, the adventures of a fragile disaster lesbian and the walking calamity she falls for. Get it here: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/... bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Just finished recording Hugo History #2 with @robtomshany.bsky.social, focusing on the 1955 Hugo winner: They'd Rather Be Right by Mark Clifton and Frank Riley. Apparently, this book is reputed to be the "worst" Hugo winner! (I don't think it deserves that!) (Pod won't drop until August.)

This reminds me that I’d love to see the SFWA membership vote on their favorite sf & fantasy books, and “romantasy” would qualify splendidly for the notional subcategory of “genre-blenders.”

I actually want to say this really loudly because I am not seeing other non-Jews say it enough. The Israeli diplomat shooting was an antisemitic hate crime. Yes, most allegations of antisemitism within the anti-genocide movement are bullshit. THIS was antisemitism parading as anti-genocide.

It’s Not Right, but It’s Okay

Hey @criterion.bsky.social, has your streaming channel done a program of college movies yet? I could imagine this one, The Social Network, Animal House, The Paper Chase, etc….
