Who Link was here & how he formed site culture, insisting on alt text & accessibility & disability justice, insisting on standing with trans people, mutual aid, irreverent shitposting, shows exactly that this culture of early bluesky that forged the platform is the opposite of what the team wants.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I'm ready to be back in imperial radch world...not published until May so adding it on my birthday list.

ANN LECKIE
HUGO, NEBULA, & ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR
RADIANT STAR

"THERE ARE FEW WHO WRITE SCIENCE FICTION LIKE ANN LECKIE CAN.
THERE ARE FEW WHO EVER COULD." - JOHN SCALZI

Space opera's sharpest mind returns to the world of the Imperial Radch in this brilliant standalone from award-winning author Ann Leckie.
The Temporal Location of the Radiant Star has always been a source of both conflict and hope for the people of Ooioiaa. However, the imperial Radch see it only as an inconvenience, an antiquated religious site soon to be absorbed into their own, superior culture. But local politics is complicated, and the Radch have made a final concession: One last man will be allowed to join the mummified bodies in the temporal location to become a "living saint".
But this decision will ripple out to affect every part of the city. Amidst a slowly worsening food shortage, riots, and a communication blackout from the rest of the Radch Empire, a religious savant will entertain visions of his own sainthood, a socialite will discover hir comfortable life upended, and a young man sold into servitude will find unlikely escape.

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick

He claims his punch was a reaction, but the killers’ attack was entirely unprovoked. He seems to be saying that he was a racist as a youth as if that is some kind of excuse for killing someone. No. If he wants parole, then tell the truth, but he can’t, he’s a murdering coward.
