We’ll never get the multidimensional movies we deserve as long as hedge fund managers, venture capitalist and the military are funding Hollywood.

I'm reminded also of the struggle that often hits marginalized folks in media in the US:

They will let you be tragic, they will let you be funny, but they won't let you be a full multidimensional person and they won't let you have your deeper culture nods without explaining it to them as tourists.

Everything Everywhere All At Once was better than anything I ever imagined Asian American cinema would be allowed to make in this country.

There is nothing nicer than having friends come over with snacks and we all jump in the pool under a full moon and talk about things we want to write, things we love to read.

From an editor POV, you can kinda tell when someone is just following a trend cause the story is usually not that interesting (because the writer isn’t actually interested). When a writer is compelled the story gets weird and thats what pulls readers in.

discussion about spec fic trends by critics and readers is great, i'd just caution writers, esp. newer writers, to not let it get in your head too much. just do what compels you. you're unknowingly part of a movement and building out a landscape. it's ok to leave it to others to map out over time.

I’m glad you acknowledge the tension at the Worldcon panel. I was in the audience and I’ve felt so exhausted leaving a panel. You handled the session incredibly well.

Jokes aside, serious congrats to all the Hugo winners! It was a night of success. Every human in that room was proof that we don’t need AI to do what we’ve always been doing - making art and building community.

Had a great time at Worldcon meeting new and old faces! Thank you @emelkrishnan.bsky.social for letting me be your plus one! Glad we could trauma bond over our masthead being skipped again. I look forward to next year!

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.

This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Im annoyed at seeing news stations show burning cars and fireworks when you can see how few people are doing anything to the officers.

LA is not rioting. You can look at history to see what an LA riot looks like. This is a peaceful protest.

We need good chants, good music, and the DRUMS.

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · Apr 5

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.

We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
