If you want there to be F&SF fiction mags, we need to do something now, while Amazon is removing their support. Check out one mag's website today and support them, if you have the means. Or just RT this if you can't, because the situation is pretty dire.

So a lot of people who are in unstable, abusive, and/or periodically violent living situations keep cell phones hidden for emergencies.

If you know anyone in such a situation, make sure they know about FEMA's testing of its Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system next Wednesday.

This test will bypass the phone's silence feature. To keep the phone quiet during this alert, it has to be completely powered down.

This alert is scheduled for the following times:
Wednesday 10/4
2:20pm EST
1:20pm CST
12:20pm MST
11:20am PST

Which reminds me of a Bruce Sterling passage I read a long, long time ago which has stayed with me. "Get weird. Get way weird. Get dangerously weird. Get sophisticatedly, thoroughly weird, and don’t do it halfway. Put every ounce of horsepower you have behind it."

I was they/them-ed at a bookstore, which was kinda cool, and also called a communist for the first time today.

(I was accused of being communist because I opposed purely AI generated novels.)

Have you ever been handed a Chick Tract? It's rare to recieve reading material that tells you that the person who gave it to you hates you and your lifestyle. It's such a distinctly American thing. They're so cool

it's sort of fucked up that absolute zero is so high. you're telling me that the bounds of physics only allow us to get a couple hundred degrees colder? It would be like if the speed of light was 70 mph
