Beyond thrilled to share that I'm writing my next book, AT HOME IN THE STARS. It's about the human expansion into space and space as a human environment. Think Carl Sagan meets Robert Macfarlane. 🪐✨🧑‍🚀🌱 If you want updates / news when the book is (someday) out: jaimealyse.behiiv.com

REI easily top of the list of companies most likely to do a land acknowledgement before layoffs

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 1d

REI is closing unionized stores. So many companies that like to pretend to be progressive remain still virulently anti-union at their core. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/08/b...

REI Co-Op’s Boston location is set to close next year - The Boston Globe

REI said it will close three locations on the East Coast, including a store in Boston, as it launches a new strategic plan.

There's something really lovely and satisfying about this (beyond even confirmation that Rockland isn't Upstate), the confluence of geography and culture, the little slivers like the Ohio River Valley and the Front Range, the separation and flow.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

I'm assuming at least the very obvious extra tracks are intentional, something about people who had walked with the girl being gone. But also, authors don't pay for cover design, publishers do. The power is in, esp for big authors, getting a no-AI-design clause in the contract.

Tracks in the snow also that the child changed from a quadrupedal to bipedal gait once she encountered the stairs. Hey best-selling authors: pay real artists for your book covers & say no to AI slop.

A general sense of glowy sludge, but they’ve been careful with things like lines and patterns. But then there’s this: At the bottom, this bit of wood detail is in front of the window. By the top it blends into the wood behind it.
