I'm not able to attend PAX Unplugged this year, but it's always so good to have my work there through IPR (who do so much for us crowd-shy writers). They've got copies of both The Ground Itself & World Ending Game at the booth if you've been looking to pick them up!
We'll be in #Booth3701 at #PaxUnplugged2025 this weekend in Philadelphia.
Here's a list of the 238 games from 119 member-publishers we'll have:

Also worth noting that "well, I guess I just can't leave the country right now because the government's fucking with me" is a situation green card holders have been used for a long time—another demonstration any indiginity the government pushes on immigrants will eventually be turned on citizens too
Trans folks reading this: don't panic too much, the supreme court thing is about injunctions pending a larger court case
Cis folks reading this: Try to understand how terrifying it is to be a minority the government openly hates, and they start fucking with your ability to *leave the country*

This fight isn't over. Our case challenging President Trump's executive order will still move forward.
In the meantime anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport, or for a passport renewal, is at risk of having their passport issued bearing the sex they were assigned at birth.

a fascinating writeup on the making of a set of widely distributed IDF propaganda videos, specifically identifying assets they used. there's something incredibly unsettling about the creative ethos here. stolen assets. no actual intelligence information at all. just hubris and pure fabrication.
Others assets came from scans made by the Scottish Maritime Museum of their boat-building workshop which was downloaded (via @sketchfab.bsky.social) and reimagined by the IDF adornments for underground missile factories.

When you realize how long it takes for a single tree to become fully mature and how many trees it takes to be productive... This is just one more method of *generational* violence.
Hundreds of olive trees were seen uprooted by Israeli forces in the villages of al-Mughayyir and abu Falah near Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.
