Regular reminder (no one reads me but I’m still self-conscious abt repeating myself) atmospheric CO2 for the next century (& only that, ideally) is a stock not a flow problem. A leak followed by a gradual reduction is a fucking DISASTER that we now have a pathway to avert.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”

I was listening to a Lindsay Ellis video on publishing. She remains awesome and introspective.

Most of the folks who usually answer are probably asleep, but if anyone cares I'm comfort watching the last few episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood tonight & I'd love to know what you're comfort watching!

The fact that Trump is actually weakly attempting to pretend he doesn’t back Project 2025 = EXACTLY why you need to be telling everyone you know about their evil, violent plans.

if the media could go ahead and treat this claim the way they treat Biden saying "I'm fine" - aka, as a lie that requires days on end of front page stories to debunk - that would be great we'll be over here waiting

Probably. Most characters don’t know what rules they follow until there’s an intrinsic motivation to break them. #WriteStuff

Alas, if I tried I think Brooklyn Nine Nine Nine and real life may interfere too much with either. #Writephant

This is by far my fave read of the year so far, despite stiff competition. Post-colonial, new-New Weird (?), poetic, expansive, queer. I read it with very little prior context other than 'this is very good' and am extremely glad I did.

I don’t think we have an inflation problem so much as a private equity/large unchecked corporation problem.

Jeffrey Katzenberg was such a dick about trying to block access that the LA Times printed a map with instructions about how to legally park in front of his beach house and cross his land to get to the beach, which was hilarious.

I think one reason the American right is so insane is that the only actual historical conservative tradition in this country is slavery and Jim Crow, but this can't be admitted

I don't have a favorite bar, but one of the bookstores I like has wonderful coffee and snacks when you want to browse their books.

The kids would probably get some lemon soda.
Any teens would see if they could get something stronger than a Shirley Temple. If they’re wizards? Probably something with fire in them.
Meanwhile the adults would argue over cocktails or wine. #WriteStuff
