Both Elon Musk and Christian nationalists call empathy "toxic," "suicidal," and even "satanic."
But what they're really worried about is that empathy is *feminine*.
And in MAGA, a woman is the worst thing a person can be. An analysis.

science fiction is one of those fascinating industries that almost everyone who isnt directly involved in seems to think has always been historically way more progressive and inclusive than it is in reality, when in doubt, recall that we are the field that gave you HP Lovecraft

a little white pup with a few big brown spots on his head and back stands on a black tile floor and looks up at you with wide eyes in a slightly grainy photo. his tail is wagging so fast it’s just one big blurry arch, like a peacock’s triumphant plumage or an actively flying aircraft. one of his front paws is lifted slightly, so we’re gonna err on the side of aircraft and he’s already puppared for takeoff.
This pup is so good at wagging his tail that he broke the space-time continuum. 12/10 honest mistake
Thread on why you should buy books in a series, even if the series isn't done (and even if some other author has not completed their own series). It comes down to: 99.9% of the time, supporting the author at publication GREATLY increases the chance of getting to see the entire series published.
Jot them down? Then you can map out what you need for each project 😊

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?
Eh, I should be alright then ☺️
If any of my #Booksky friends are looking for a fun read, I highly recommend these two novels (yes, somewhat selfishly because I want more of the series).
If you are a fan of whodunnits with odd couple amateur sleuths paired with professional detectives, this needs to join your TBR list!

I came across this site when I was looking for resources for my film studies class—"Indigenous Film Archive" indigenousfilmarchive.com
They also have a lot of content hosted on Vimeo: vimeo.com/user71698802
idk man the ‘difficult’ language in ‘difficult’ books is part of the point. don’t you WANT to learn to parse out interesting language and complex ideas? it’s all i wanted when i was a kid! i was so impatient for it!

freezings have I felt, what dark days seen! What old December's bareness every where!"

A spherical collection of stars which fills the whole view. The cluster is dominated by a concentrated group of bright white stars at the center, with several large yellow stars scattered throughout the image. Many of the stars have visible diffraction spikes. The background is black.
diffraction spikes? you mean telescope astigmatism?
"What win l, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to gain a toy?"

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.
Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.

"oh, you like that band? name three of their songs!"
buddy thats not how it works. the bands name their own songs
I don't remember it all that well. I remember the cartoon a bit better. Basically the gist of it was four mutated turtles named after Renaissance artists adopted by a giant rat that knew martial arts. The quartet really liked pizza and Michaelangelo said "Cowabunga!" a lot.

A new year’s illustration of a white snake in a forest setting. The snake has an arrow in its mouth.
明けましておめでとう！
Every year I spend New Year’s Day drawing a New Year’s Day zodiac animal. 2025 is year of the wood snake.
