Impressive win by the Liberty without Stewart, the reigning league mvp. Judging by the eye test, Dijonai Carrington did an incredible job guarding Sabrina Ionescu. But Ionescu scored 30, because every time she got free, she hit her shots.

Big day in the WNBA today. Four games, one after the other. Three of them have a clear favorite, but the main attraction, Sun at the Liberty, is a big one. The current top two teams in the standings going head to head. Tomorrow, the remaining four teams play, and then it's off to All-Star weekend

& here’s the self-promotion: SOME DESPERATE GLORY, a book about a horrid teenage terrorist going on a very unwilling voyage of personal discovery, has now been nominated for four major genre awards. That suggests it’s pretty good! Have you read it? Would you like to? www.amazon.com/dp/125083498...

No one has more heart and love for humanity then my friend Kaitlin. She is a picture of giving grace (as I said yesterday something she taught me a lot about). This essay is moving and makes room/holds space for everyone involved with what has happened over the past week. It is an important read.

I'm busy today, so here's my 2000+ word response to everything that happened on this anti-Black platform yesterday. You can read it, or not. www.patreon.com/posts/racism...

Hi fellow white people! Being queer, LGBTQIA+ doesn't give us a pass on racism and White Supremacy! We are still privileged by our position relative to Whiteness and benefit from its invisible (to us!) violence daily. It is our duty to support anti-racist movements and discourse. Hope this helps!

I'm just an enby, standing in front of a microblogging platform, asking it to be intersectional.

Since my smartwatch's screen detached from the rest of it, I don't know my sleeping hours. This is... disorienting. My n24 sleep cycle is wild as it is, and it turns out keeping track of it was super helpful.

I have a philosophy of panel moderation. It goes like this: The thing to prioritize is the panel as a whole. That means the panelists and the audience. Everyone in the room, collectively. If one panelist goes off, you have to stop it, for the good of the panel.

I can't tell you about it yet, because draft programme and subject to change and don't announce anything yet, but... it looks like I'm moderating a panel at worldcon and I think it's gonna be a cool and fun one with cool and fun people.

Ohio really aren't sending their best, huh?

I don't know US universities well. Is Cornell in some sort of giant cave with no access to Supreme Court decisions?

This story has one key sentence: "Any executive action that a president might try to end birthright citizenship would be challenged in court and would be likely struck down as unconstitutional," said Stephen Yale-Loehr, an immigration law professor at Cornell University.

He wanted a PHONE CALL. I kinda think "old man yells at clouds" should be replaced by "old man wants to talk on the phone"

A'ja Wilson is #90, and I am only ok with that because she is 28 years old and is having her best season right now (despite having won mvp twice). She'll rank higher next time. Watching her play has been one of the best things about becoming a WNBA fan.

ESPN is ranking the Top 100 athletes of the 21st century so far. I’m sure that I and everyone else will have a completely normal reaction to this.

But if your hardline position is that not paying authors for their labor is a great way to end capitalism, you do not understand what capitalism is.

It's episode 1934893 of the ongoing series "is dad's body shutting down, or is it going to go down as yet another blip." It's happened so many times in the past 2.5 years that my that brain and body are caught between apathy and freaking out.

I am, once again, confused by some Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark fans. Your player being great does not preclude the other player being great, friends. (I am, sadly, not confused by the racist segment of Clark fans. Except... do they know the reigning mvp is also a white lady?)

Strange Horizons is at $18,150 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Can we get them to $20k (at least) in the next 40 hours so they can add a NOVELETTE?? 🤔 www.kickstarter.com/projects/str...

Meanwhile, elseweb, it seems that Helluva Boss fandom is blaming Moxie for missing the shot.

I'm genuinely impressed. This may be the worst centrist take to ever be taken. It's up there, at the very least.

Just want to put it out there that I am not, in fact, MAGA.
