This is the 100th anniversary of Route 66, and I am proud to say my Appalachian weird horror novella, GODFESTATION, does indeed have a nod to the Mother Road. It is a journey of grief, soul, monsters, and bewilderment, and I hope you all love it. Preorder it now, out August 11.

During my working life in the social enterprise movement I came across many initiatives like this Anti-Fashion Repair School in northern France - https://www.lemonde.fr/en/m-le-mag/article/2026/05/17/clothing-repair-school-in-france-s-former-textile-capital-gives-garments-a-second-life_6753529_117.html - that combine environmental aims with social aims - in this case working for a circular economy with disadvantaged and socially excluded people.

Capitalism is indifferent to the over-exploitation and degradation of both people and planet - and people that care about the environment also generally care about other people - the political left and green are natural allies.

I have a bit of time on my hands, so let's do another 24h round of #AskAnAstrophysicist, but this time it's a thematic one.

⭐ What do you want to ask an astrophysicist about stars? ⭐

(I am a professional astrophysicist, part of whose work concerns itself with high mass stars & their winds and I've also taught a variety of astro university courses)

Boosts welcome. I may not be able to reply to all in case of many questions.

it's fascinating how good AI is at solving problems in domains i don't understand. it's almost as if it was somehow linked to my inability to verify the output.

It's often uneasy for me to share my experiences as a woman in tech, but this job market has me worried for everyone stuck somewhere harmful. I admire everyone who takes on "women in tech" speaking gigs but I am also angry for them and us.

If you know of somewhere in the #Boston area where I can either get a dehumidifier fixed for less than it would cost to buy a new one (about $200) or donate it for them to fix up and resell (or if you want to take it yourself), please let me know.
I don't have the time or skills for it to be cost-effective to figure out what's wrong and fix it myself, but I hate to just throw the whole thing away when it's fixable. I mean, it could just need the refrigerant recharged.

I added a simple API for consumption in case anyone wants to play around with it.

I made an index of the indie web/blog indexes out there so you can browse any kind of index you want to browse. I've curated it, but happy to take submissions!

How NASA Built Artemis II’s Fault-Tolerant Computer. “Every subsystem must be designed to survive cosmic-ray bit flips, radiation-induced latch-ups, and hardware faults without a single second of downtime.” (A: An extreme level of redundancy.) https://cacm.acm.org/news/how-nasa-built-artemis-iis-fault-tolerant-computer/

> " I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of. [...] But there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. Just someone who spent twenty years studying Arctic policy posting a thread at 2 AM because they think you should understand what's happening. It's the internet I was promised in 1996."

I'm trying to rage-write an article about all the completely awful, useless, polluting, dangerous shit that companies are proposing to launch into orbit and I can't even tell what's fake and what's real on these fucking techbro websites anymore. It's all so fucking ludicrous.

🎏CHILDREN'S DAY👶

Arriving at the end of Golden Week, 'Kodomo-no-hi' (こどもの日 "Children's Day") celebrates the happiness of children and families.

In the weeks leading up to May 5th many homes display dolls and armor (or helmets), symbolizing vitality and strength.

I see outdated ones all the time, and it always makes me wonder whether the person is keeping up their site

friends, get your AC checked, get some backup batteries (and solar) if you can, or figure out where your cooling centers are and make a plan for extreme heat...and to look out for each other

(also: get your masks and filters ready for the wildfires this will bring + get some spare jugs of water)
