yes, but it's such a pleasant doom (if you find something that is huge/green/expansive/floral but NOT fruit-forward, let me know? I am having an Annoyance about summer perfumes)

I adore Santa Fe weather. The entire sky is apricot-colored. There is a full-arc rainbow (in shades of red-gold). There is a deluge of rain. There is lightning along the arc of the rainbow. I cannot photograph this. It is amazing.

that's exactly the thing though, I need to make an object to make some of the patternwitchery legible to other humans! (I should do more databases) (my spreadsheets are in ... Word tables, and you can cringe at that (I do) but I can attach metadata tags in colors/fonts there)

The Nebari were set up so well and then never fully used. (Season 5 woud have been amazing. I like Peacekeeper Wars but it is a consolation prize in a narrative sense?) (but then I sometimes do a Farscape run that ends at 4x13 'Terra Firma' - that's one version of closing the arc.)

okay so y'know how I don't do warnings for fiction much gonna recommend Seth Dickinson's EXORDIA, which is viciously funny when it's not just vicious. And savagely good. BUT warnings for shit that disturbed /me/ which takes effort: body horror, genocide, straight-up ethical & physical brutality.

This is really great stuff. I might pitch it to my new gig as a 'let's figure out where our common understanding is, and what we want to do with it' exercise. (kinda feel like I have to work through it myself before taking it on the road to the community/ies)

I mean, you start with that observation of Rygel’s. And work through change-as-fall-from-grace - but also the counter/(gnostic) reading of differentiation as the creative/divine principle.

Disturbing and visceral and ... hot, in the way that possession/alteration/interrogation/exposure is hot. (Your mileage is going to vary. My mileage is weird as anything. There's no sex onscreen in this story and I'm glad there isn't but it hit me square in some brainsquids.)

Damn, this is really good. Colonialism as a kind of infection. Poison land. An elegance. Reminds me of Lime Ergot (the Twine game from 2014).

It's time for white Democrats in Congress, white editors & journalists in media, white donors, & white elites to listen to Black Democrats & Black voters who are sticking with Joe Biden. Black voters saved America's ass in 2020. Black voters would suffer most under Trump. Listen to Black voters

a useless complaint: why do eyeshadow palettes never have both warm golds and cool blues/greys? am I the only person who likes these things together on my face? am I doomed to carrying around two palettes, both of which I only use half of?

I'm a New Yorker in the Southwest. In my other life I write award-winning science fiction novels. I was trained as a) a Byzantinist; b) an urban planner (energy policy specialty). I'm queer, cis femme, Jewish, in about that order.

Warning: Wonky 🧵 on vague energy/climate modeling ideas. Many papers I read in this field aim to compare climate mitigation scenarios or optimize mitigation pathways. The modeled transitions have lots of impacts: ⬆️ or ⬇️ deaths, illnesses, jobs, money, and so on.
