I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

[regionalpancake]

!!!! Today is the only chance we’ll ever have to listen to this absolute banger of apocalyptic fiction on the very day the story is set 😲✨

Nemoy’s voice is PERFECT in this!

(A content warning if you do listen - the dog dies, though it’s not super graphic)

I paused the robot vacuum so I could listen to this 1950’s story predicting the robot vacuum.

women’s pro baseball begins one week from today. it’s the first time in over 70 years that there has been a women’s pro baseball league here in the u.s.

the inaugural season will take place entirely at Robin Roberts Stadium in Illinois, and will have four teams:

the Boston Hunters, named after Dr Harriot Hunt, one of the first women in the u.s. to practice medicine

the Los Angeles Queens, named after Lizzie “the queen of baseball” Murphy, the first woman to play against major league baseball players

the New York Heights, named after Dorothy Height, an activist for Black civil rights and women’s rights

the San Francisco Firebells, named after Lillie “Firebell Lil” Hitchcock Coit, who worked with San Francisco’s volunteer firefighters

It deeply saddens me that "pdf file" has become slang for pedo. Don't you dare disrespect my wife the beautiful portable document format ever again

[dualcasterjay]

and to the children in the notes saying we need this fucking baby talk to get around censorship online; there's been no credible evidence that any site other that YouTube (which will only demonetize your video, ftr) will actually censor or hide content that include words like rape, pedophile, gun, terrorist, etc. etc. and even if we take as a given they were (which, again, they are not), do not fucking comply in advance, you absolute fucking coward. and ESPECIALLY do not comply by altering your real life fucking vocabulary. don't let the technocrats dictate what words you say holy fucking shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!!

[juneberryjammin]

Additional reminder that this kind of self censorship makes it harder for people to block content they do not want to see.

It sucks that the only way to begin is by beginning

[em-the-mushroom815]

it's even worse that the only way to learn is by playing and the only way to win is by learning

[thats-what-sidhe-said]

But the only way to begin is by beginning. So let's begin.

I love u 85 million acres (bigger than italy) of national parks. I love u harlem renaissance. I love u groundhogs day. I love u sweet tea and fried chicken and jambalaya. I love u apple cider donuts and maizes on crisp autumn days. I love u 95k miles of coastlines and new england fisherman and hand knitted sweaters. I love u halloween where millions of people dress up and give candy to strangers and carve jack o’lanterns. I love u small talk and small towns and potlucks and bringing over casseroles to your struggling neighbors. I love u cowboys and ranch hands and arizonian cactus. I love u appalachian trail and dirtbikes and divebars. I love u sparklers and fireflies. I love u mark twain and toni morrison and emily dickinson and henry david thoreau. I love u rock n roll i love u bluegrass and hippies i love u jimi hendrix and nirvana and CCR and janis joplin. I love u victorian houses and jonny appleseed and john henry and mothman and bigfoot.
