Hey, sci-fi and fantasy folks, if you happen to know folks who are involved with various estates in the field, do tip them a hat about the Anthropic settlement. Agencies do not get $ out of the deal and may not remember to talk to estate clients. My agent was worrying about estates not being alerted

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

it remains interesting to me when some folks think writing "how it was done in the past/other realm" only means highlighting specific forms of bigotry as the sole/main marker of "the past" rather than a different approach to how characters approach life, society, and their personhood (as it were)

I guess I think they wouldn't even consider it as it is labor meant for the lowly, the menials, the non-whites, the women, etc; thus not worth their time.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

I can think of a number of cases where it has highlighted good work, so I think the prize is important for that reason (amplification), forex ICLB and Jody Williams. Although again, late 90s.

Kate Elliott @kateelliottsff.bsky.social · 1d

OH that's right. Now I remember. I don't have the ARC so you have something special, indeed.
