I spent my life sailing away from the shore, letting maps fade and compasses lose their north. You have to get lost to find yourself, they say. I havenโ€™t found myself yet, but I keep looking.

The โ€˜can machines do creative writingโ€™ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists

Repeat after me. Short fiction is not dead. Text circling the head of chicken with swirly-hypno eyes.

Breaking out hypnochicken after today's magazine news leak and the various worst-case scenarios filling the gaps that likely would have been covered in an official press release.

"Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape? The money lenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can."

Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizรกndola debajo de la puerta.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

My timeline here is full of writers talking about stories, musicians, illustrators, such a beautiful thing to see. So different from the fascist agora that Twitter has become.
