If you like the way I very rarely post here and would like to see what it's like when I very rarely post on some other social media, I have a cohost (indeed-distract) and a mastodon ([email protected]) that I've started to get into the habit of looking at.

When a wide swath of commenters from center to right –– from Hadley Freeman to Jesse Singal to Abigail Shrier to Chris Rufo to Matt Walsh to LibsOfTikTok –– repeatedly tell large audiences that gay & trans people are preying on innocents, people believe them and act accordingly.

So: please DON'T nominate BCS for Best Semiprozine. Consider our stories and check out other indie zines. The 2022 Hugo longlist had Mermaids Monthly, Khōréō, Fireside, Diabolical Plots, The Deadlands, GigaNotoSaurus--all unique, important, and worthy.
I used to support these laws but more and more I see that a state that offers "death with dignity" but not LIFE with dignity to its disabled citizens is just practicing eugenics

My understanding is CUPE was already at the table when the government passed legislation imposing a contract settlement. The bill didn’t just prohibit them from striking: it prohibited them from negotiating.

Another notification reminding me that the Overdrive library ebook app will soon be phased out in favour of Libby, which means it's time again to fruitlessly google "how to make Libby look like Overdrive."
Between them, Canada’s 2 largest provinces have used or threated to be use the notorious notwithstanding clause 5 times in 4 years. That has included overriding protections around free expression, religious freedom, women’s equality, language rights and now labour rights. 2/7
Trans people need the freedom of expression to survive--as a group and as individuals. If you are a movement against freedom--Christian nationalism for example--it's in your interest to mobilize masses against trans people because in so doing you mobilize them against freedom.

"trans rights are human rights" not as a sub-category but in that the rights trans people fight for are those due all humans - safety, housing, healthcare, bodily autonomy, work, education, privacy, free expression
The hot take is probably that people aren’t so much attracted to men or women, but to specific things common among men or women, and most likely they differ widely in which of those things they’re attracted to. Sexual labels are shortcuts not divine rules.
Stared directly into the abyss to write this piece on the horrifying influx of hate language into Canadian public school systems, and its implications for a growing fascist presence in Ontario
I love that "how am I supposed to explain ___ to my children?" is only ever asked about things that would take like 1 minute maximum to explain to anyone
So @AnjaliApp runs for the NDP federally and everyone loves her, pictures with the leader, treated like the rising star that she is. She runs for provincial leader, inspires a wave of new members who had lost hope and faith in the party, and suddenly it's a "hostile takeover."

since i named john horgan as premier dad and ken sim as the vibes mayor and then both of them doubled down on that personality, i'm going to nickname the next bc political leader "the housing crisis slayer" in hopes that it manifests itself as reality
feeling so incredibly smug right now
every single time some group starts crying that their panel/book/article got excluded because of wokeness, a week or two later the process by which they were excluded is revealed and it’s always a pretty straightforward process of peer review whereby it was found meritless
@Benjones2Jones My guess is that GVG still makes most of the decisions there, and CCF accepted it before checking with the real editor/publisher. His 2015 email to me claims that he "fought for my story." But if you're actually the editor you don't have to fight for a story, you just publish it!
@ericasatifka It's actually okay to break a promise to a fascist.
FWIW I agree with leaving the story because I do believe in keeping your word even if the writer in question is an awful person. But just know that F&SF is picking and choosing who they honor their promises to and this guy was deemed worthy and I wasn't. Real kick in the teeth!
It’s not that I think cis men don’t experience loneliness it’s that I don’t think that cis men experience a special kind of loneliness unique from what women and other marginalized genders feel. What is difficult to grasp.
You simply cannot, in any meaningful way, reject hegemonic masculinity while still being accepted by it. The price (gift) of authenticity is closer proximity to queerness. You take the risks like the rest of us or you conform to hegemony. There’s not a third option.
It's an honour to win two Eisners for Ducks. I hope the success of my book encourages more comics, more diverse perpectives, made and published from underrrepresented worlds of labour, or class, or those communities affected most by corporate and government power.
In the meantime, as we are unwilling to create artificial hierarchies within our collective in order to adhere to a wholly arbitrary "seven finalists" rule, we've elected to be listed only as "the Strange Horizons editorial collective."
The Awards Committee's conduct - top-down, uncommunicative, and un-empathetic - has been in stark contrast with the spirit in which previous committees have approached this issue, and has been disappointing.
@windfallapples i would like if you put just a little little guy in here who you could click on to move around the map from place to place, and he made little square wave sounds when he moved around very slowly, and sometimes there would be a windstorm or he would fight soldiers
A bit of the map I started today. Started with a fortress in a desert, added a river, then coast. Drew way more mountains than I meant to (grey), fiddled some woods for a while than had the idea to put in a bigass mountain-sized fumerole. Distant coast after that. Went well~ =w=;
“The sea is always good. There is nothing I can look at for very long, except the sea.” “I’d roll a joke along the ground and we’d both follow it.”

bro you gotta play outer wilds no i cant tell you why or what its about

@judyblume I just realized it’s the exact same interviewer. Oof. Figures!
@judyblume But if it helps, you’re hardly the first author to sit down with British media and get disingenuously drawn into this “You stand with Rowling on the trans thing, right? RIGHT??” business. The Guardian did the same when interviewing Margaret Atwood. theguardian.com/books/ng-inter…
@judyblume Since people think this thread sounded stern, it was meant as context bc in the article Judy said she wasn’t up to date on the whole issue with JKR. I didn’t want to put hearts and sparkles in tweets about trans people being attacked. But Judy, I love you and your books! ❤️✨💖
@judyblume JKR has an audience, wealth, and access to media. Trans people are vulnerable and hurting, and targeted by more and more violent rhetoric and dangerous legislation. JKR gets pushback on twitter because it’s the only place that gives the vulnerable a voice. Thanks for listening.
@judyblume Thank you so much for clarifying. I hope that with a little more context, you’ll see that the harassment victims here are the trans women, men, & kids JKR has hurt with her massive platform. She is now the de facto spokesperson for a movement that endangers their lives & health.
