If you ever want to understand why the privacy rationale for abortion and contraception is more important and vital than ever, this is it.

JD Vance opposes the Biden Admin rule barring law enforcement from having access to your medical records about reproductive health (menstrual cycles, endometriosis, miscarriages, pregnancy, etc.) so that state laws limiting abortion and/or contraception can be enforced against you!

I adore Martha Wells because she's generous to her genre community; because of her, I and others ended up on the Nebula ballot a few years back. She got her flowers and made sure others got theirs. This is how it should work.

Voting for the Hugo Awards ends in 4 days! If you're a member of the Glasgow 2024 WorldCon, I'm up for the Astounding Award for an unprecedented 3rd year cause of the disqualification fiasco last year 😩✌️ Also still laughing that bigolas dickolas got nominated for a HUGO AWARD but declined

Some of Donald Trump’s followers had long viewed him as handpicked by God. The attempted assassination has only increased such quasi-religious devotion and rhetoric.

SO delighted to hear @pronouncedlahra.bsky.social won an SJA today. Sometimes good things happen. ♥

The Shirley Jackson award for short story just went to @pronouncedlahra.bsky.social for her story “The First Mrs. Edward Rochester Would Like a Word!”
