hello darkness my old friend
daylight savings strikes again
Here we have yet another 1890s satin dress, but this time from America, through the designer M. J. Miles. This is the only work I can find from them though, which is unfortunate as it is very lovely. It gives off classic Gilded Era vibes. #fashionhistory #ootd
I am here for omniscient chaos!
A bright yellow oriole with black wings and face and throat feathers is perched at a red feeder. The bird’s wings have a white bar.
Due to the wind, I’m hearing the orioles more than seeing them, but this handsome guy did show up a few minutes ago.

My new Strange Horizons essay is up! With a deliberately provocative title!
WHY ALL SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY WRITERS ARE HISTORIANS
Yes, *all*
And, no, it isn't just for the reason you think...
I've been working toward this one for a while, very excited to share it!
I loved this essay! After reading it, I was inspired to compose a triolet during my next visit to the prosthetist.

Hi I did a jewelry crime
Entirely moss agate except for that one green Czech glass leaf
Ty @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social for the rec of "Bots All The Way Down"!
"digs into the superficiality of generative AI while satirizing the ways pro-AI weirdos treat it like a sentient, conscious being. A fairy tale of web crawlers & a dead internet."

The listing for Wooing the Witch Queen reads: Felix flees his dukedom-in-disguise to seek sanctuary at Queen Saskia’s door. A misunderstanding leads him to start working for her. Perfect for readers who adore yearning and crave magical heroines who can be vulnerable and take charge with equal measure.
