Artist Hitomi Terasawa drew a meticulous cross-sectioned rendering of Hong Kong's infamous Kowloon Walled City before it was razed in 1994. Now we have rare scans revealing the inner workings of the labyrinth-like metropolis.

Today, on Juneteenth, if you are a descendant of a formerly enslaved person I invite you to take a moment to acknowledge, mourn, and cherish all it means. If you are a descendant of a people who benefited from slavery I invite you to explore what steps remain to address the legacy of that injustice.

The exceptions for abortions in states with bans are meaningless. People donโ€™t understand them, they are too hard to get, and physicians are too afraid to perform the abortion.

Isn't it interesting that every killing by every cop is just a single bad apple that should never be thought to spoil the bunch, while every protest by and on behalf of marginalized people must be flawlessly perfect, or all participants deserve the brutality the police exist to deliver to them?

They want right-wing speech to be protected on campus and people protesting genocide to be ground under. Some people call this hypocrisy, but it's much more sinister than that. These double standards are about HIERARCHY. They're about how the right wants to order the world.

Darlings, write that book. Ignore the 'not selling' rhetoric. Write the book. Write your fix-up novels or your trashy book or your serious historical epic or your barely-disguised autobiography or your pew-pew SF. The people who love books depend on you. Do not fail them.
