i feel compelled to remind everyone that chatgpt/LLMs are functionally the *opposite* of an actual expert.

the more your problems are unusual or novel, the more likely LLMS are to be wrong. they are least helpful when it's most important

Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

I just spotted Madeleine Sami playing Tyro the Amazon in an episode of Xena Warrior Princess! She made one of my favorite movies, The Breaker Upperers, with Jackie van Beek and is extremely funny (not as an Amazon though, she is taking that role seriously).

Through the Boston Public Library I now have unlimited access to Comics Plus (so many graphic novels!) and Kanopy where I have 18 tickets a month for tons of movies and some TV shows. If you're a MA resident you can get an ecard and all those benefits too! www.bpl.org/ecard-regist...

I'm super lucky to have access to a lot of very good library systems. Sometimes there are shenanigans involved in getting cards for those systems. I justify it by using all of them as frequently as possible to increase their patron and use stats hopefully leading to more local support and tax money.

Fuck off, Monday . com! I don't want to read about "How to beat AI guilt" in your "Insights" newsletter. Thanks anyway, I'd prefer not use a technology that is destroying our planet and stealing art and turning it into garbage.

Finished in September: 🎧 Private Rites by Julia Armfield read by Hannah van der Westhuysen. A dismal, disqueiting, and apocalyptic novel loosely based on King Lear. Highly recommend. #QueerBooks

Finished in September: 🎧 Looking for Smoke by K. A. Cobell (Blackfeet) read by Julie Lumsden, Katie Anvil Rich, Shaun Taylor-Corbett, and Jordan Waunch. Thriller told in the voices of four teens. I cried multiple times listening to it. I'm looking forward to whatever Cobell writes next.

Finished in September: 🎧 One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston read by Natalie Naudus. Slightly less steamy than The Pairing, this paranormal-light romance was sweet and satisfying. #QueerBooks
October 4, 2025 at 8:59 PM
Finished in September: 🎧 Exhalation by Ted Chiang read by Edoardo Ballerini, Dominic Hoffman, Amy Landon, Ted Chiang. I didn't know that Chiang wrote Arrival until after I finished this collection of short stories. He's an amazing writer with novel takes on the meaning of being human. #QueerBooks

Finished in August: 🎧 Guilt by Association by Gregory Ashe read by Tristan James. I'm still hooked on these despite the painful internalized homophobia of the main characters (and the externalized homophobia of Wahredua, Missouri). #QueerBooks
October 4, 2025 at 8:50 PM
Finished in August: 🎧 Paternity Case by Gregory Ashe read by Tristan James. More Emery Hazard and John-Henry Somerset fighting, flirting, and solving mysteries. But I really didn't enjoy the horrific crime in this one. #QueerBooks
October 4, 2025 at 8:47 PM
Finished in August: 🎧 Transposition by Gregory Ashe read by Tristan James. I have mixed feelings about this entries series of "will they (detective partners), won't they" and "hate to love" mysteries. But I am reading all of them. #QueerBooks
October 4, 2025 at 8:41 PM
Finished in August: 🎧 The In-Between Bookstore by Edward Underhill read by Shaan Dasani. Time travel, the meaning of homecoming and friendship, and a trans protagonist wrestling with growing up. #QueerBooks
October 4, 2025 at 8:38 PM

Finished in July: 📕 Rachel Carson: Pioneer of Ecology by Kathleen V. Kudlinski. I found this in a #littlefreelibrary. I didn't really know anything about her and this was a great overview. Well researched and well written. #Nonfiction books written for tweens are often solid intros to a subject.

Finished in July: 🎧 Spiderlight by Adrian Tchaikovsky, read by the author. Finally, I've read one of Tchaikovsky's books! He's a brilliant writer and very good narrator! Hey, I like spiders. If you don't, heed the title, heavy spider content. #Fantasy

Finished in July: 🎧 Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz, read by Em Grosland. Cozy, post-apocalyptic, novella about robots running a restaurant. Some peril. Inherently queer. If you Becky Chambers' books, you will like this. Stand out narration on the audiobook too!
