Posting one last time to let you know that I bought everyone in the bar a shot when I heard Kissinger died.

Back when CC Finlay was the "editor" of F&SF in 2015, he retracted an acceptance he'd given me at Gordon Van Gelder's urging due to its "disturbing content" and begged me not to tell anyone what he'd done. Fearing repercussions, I complied.

"It was made for me! This is my hole!" is also how Canada geese reacted to the introduction of golf courses to North America.

Books are powerful tools and gateways to different worlds. When spaces like libraries and bookstores are stewarded with the communities they serve in mind, the result can be extremely impactful. southsideweekly.com/your-fri…

I remember at home, my mom - who had been raised Catholic and left -was like "Everyone knows she's right, that's why they're mad" and at school everyone was like "she's crazy, she's a bitch". It was a good lesson to learn that young.

This is SO COOL You may think gorillas are sexually dimorphic (large silverback males, smaller females) but younger individuals are not. A gorilla assumed to be male and well-studied by zoo professionals gave birth to an unexpected baby!

The only actual war against the female body & nature is when animators put big knockers on cartoon birds/reptiles/insects*. *for purposes other than self-avowedly weird porn

When I was a kid this was habitually taught in schools but the alleged benefit was not "skills", it was "civilization" (if the school was pretending to do separation of church and state that week) or just straight up "we converted them to Christianity".
florida is now teaching students that slavery was good for the slaves

Getting this kind of distortion even partly out of the textbooks and classroom materials was a long, difficult struggle and there are a lot of people excited to regress, because "Slavery and genocide really weren't that bad" are load-bearing myths of American nationalism.

Without stolen land and stolen labor at a formative stage, the United States simply doesn't exist in the form we currently see. Even nominal liberals often have a hard time fully grappling with this.
