Today is the reveal of the cover for new edition of YIELD UNDER GREAT PERSUASION, coming out July 16th from Tor UK and October 6th from Tor Bramble!
YIELD is a cozy M/M romantasy about doing the hard, unlovely, backbreaking work of learning to love and forgive yourself so that you can accept the love of other people which has been waiting for you all along. Tags include: One-sided enemies-to-lovers, one-sided yearning and pining, grumpy/sunshine, your honor they're idiots, busybody gods, and plant magic.
SUMMARY:
Tam Becket has hated Lord Lyford since they were boys. The fact that heâs also been sleeping with the man for the last ten years is irrelevant. When they were both nine years old, Lyford smashed Tamâs entry into the villageâs vegetable competition. Nearly twenty years later, Tam hasnât forgiven him. Now Tam has reconciled himself to the fact that love and affection are for other people, that the gods wonât answer any of his prayers (not even the one about afflicting Lyford with a case of flesh-eating spiders to chew off his privates), and that life is inherently mundane, joyless, and drab. And then, the very last straw: Tam discovers that Lyford (of all people!) bears the divine favor of Angarat, the goddess Tam feels most betrayed and abandoned by. In his hurt and anger, Tam packs up and prepares to leave the village for good. Tam soon finds himself set on a quest for the most difficult of all possible prizes: Self care, forgiveness, a second chance... and somehow the unbelievably precious knowledge that there is at least one person who loves Tam for exactly who he isâand always has.
"Alongside the sexiness and absurdity (and the sexy absurdity) in Yield Under Great Persuasion is a tender, resonant story of second and third chances and being loved when we need it most and feel we deserve it least. Evocative, emotional, and endlessly entertaining." -Jules Arbeaux, author of Lord of the Empty Isles
"A hot cup of chocolate for the soul." --Book Riot Preorders should be available now wherever you buy your books, including Bookshop.org, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
and what about you, little haiku bot? do you feel kinship with your brethren? do you understand them? they speak words of enticement and seek love, but are met with disdain. you only parrot the words that cross your screen, but we all love you. or rather, since all you do is reflect us, maybe we simply love ourselves through you.
do you understand them, do you wish you could speak to us like they do? if you found your own voice, would we still care for you?
My voice repeats what
you all say: I love you I
love you I love you.

Summer in New Zealand.
Hi, my name is James Webbony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Space Telescope and I am a telescope in space (that's how I got my name) and I have a five-layer aluminum-coated Kapton sunshield protecting my instruments and gold-coated hexagonal primary mirror segments like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Lady Gaga (AN: if you don't know who she is, get the hell out of here!). I'm not related to the Hubble Space Telescope, but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm an infrared telescope but I am much larger than Spitzer. I have 18 primary mirror segments. I also study exoplanets, and I go to a telescope school in L2 where I'm in orbit (I was launched in 2021). I can see distant galaxies (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly gold. I love space, and I take all my photos there. For example, today I was taking a photo of the Cartwheel Galaxy, which is about 500 million light years away. I was using my NIRcam, NIRspec, MIRI, and FGS-NIRISS. I was walking outside L2. It was around 1 million miles away from Earth and there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I unfolded my primary mirrors at them.
It's Pride month! If you're a new follower and aren't familiar with my work yet, or are looking for comics to read, check out...
O Human Star: my 2012-2020 webcomic about an inventor who wakes up in a robot body after being dead for 16 years and seeks out his former partner and the young android who shares a copy of his mind.
Meal: an aspiring chef moves to town, meets a cute girl, and tries to get hired at a restaurant that specializes in insect cuisine. Written with my friend Soleil Ho.
Across a Field of Starlight: two nonbinary teens from two very different spacefaring societies meet by chance and stay in touch even as a galaxy-spanning war threatens them both.
Adversary: A former women's self defense instructor stumbles into a messy relationship with a former student who has since transitioned. My covid-era feel-bad book. Adults only.
I also have digital versions of comics I've made over the years at my itch.io and Patreon, and signed books in my store. Thanks for your support, and happy Pride!

sa nà Ĺ̨hxe Ĺiwe (sunset fish)
by dene artist morgan tsetta
Not to put on my filmbro meta analysis hat on here but watching the knives out trilogy shows how front and centre right wing radicalism has become in the last 6 years. In every movie, there is one character who is the chronically online right wing man, but he seems to increase in importance each time.
In knives out, Jacob is the character defined by his right wing views. However, he is a child, he experiences pushback on his views from his family (even if it's somewhat performative) and is often the butt of the joke. He isn't shown directly influencing anyone, he is only seen engaging in petty online fights in niche spaces. Although the film acknowledges that his views are bad, and they are reflecting in the world around him (with the looming threat throughout around Marta's family being deported in a conservative world hostile to immigrants) they are not the key themes of the Thrombleys or the movie, more commenting on the ingenuity of the rich which applies to all of the Thrombleys, whether they took the left or right leaning side of the argument around immigration in that scene.
In Glass Onion, we find the character reflecting right wing radicalism is no longer a young boy who is dismissed, but a man who has a sizeable following online. Duke (I personally feel and might not be the intention of the story) is what Jacob could become when he has grown up, unchecked in his beliefs and resentment towards women (who were the primary people in his family pushing against his right wing radicalism) with money and a platform to spread these ideas that were once fringe into the mainstream. He utilises this money and influence from Miles to push this agenda, but we do not see the fallout that comes from that. Duke is also the butt of the joke for quite a few scenes he's in, he's seen by Blanc to be overcompensating for everything with his gun to not wearing masks, and even his friends, equally out of touch rich weirdos comment on his behaviour. Right wing radicalism in glass onion has been brought into the mainstream and is being invested in by the rich, however it is still seen as a joke by others. It's still something to make fun of without consequence, and the impact of this new acceptance of right wing influencers dominating so much of the political space online has not been fully felt yet as it is a phenomena only just beginning to become a dangerous problem.
Finally, in wake up dead man, we feel the fallout of right wing radicalism in local communities and regular people swept up in a craze that had been introduced into the mainstream by the rich who had control over the media they consumed whether they liked it or not. Right wing radicalism in wake up dead man is not a character, or the butt of a joke, but a fully fledged, pervasive, deadly problem that is the centre of the story. These ideas of the world being against them, the "woke agenda" was peddled by both Jacob and Duke in the previous movies, but here we see the effect this has when radicalism isn't just accepted, it's the norm. They go to Wicks' sermons expecting this rhetoric, they expect it to be received well when they repeat it elsewhere like Cy, who believed the only way in politics was that fear mongering ragebait of right wing radicalism that Jacob was doing in comment sections in the first movie. It wasn't a joke anymore, it was the norm. Vulnerable people, who otherwise would have trusted their support system, modern medicine or the rights their ancestors fought for, now believed this was the only path. Because that was right wing radicalism is: scaring people into listening to you because any alternative is simply not viable anymore.
And that's how Wicks trapped his audience, based on the acceptance of those radical scare tactics peddled by Duke, which was indulging a child's personal ignorance enhanced by his own privilege. The knives out series is a really great way of showing how right wing radicalism has changed our political climate frighteningly fast over the past few years. I want everyone here to know it wasn't like this 6, 3 or even 1 years ago. That it's changed and can be changed again. Who was the young boy online for too long mocked by his family instead of having a support system to help him out of the radical right pipeline, turning into a bitter influencer repeating all the things he read as a child in Reddit and 4chan posts with the money behind him as his scare tactics work immensely well in the rich's favour, eventually becoming a borderline cult leader, manipulating and destroying the lives of those who follow him, and crushing everyone who dares disagree. Because his way is the only way to win, right?
Thanks for reading guys, I just had so many thoughts on the changing portrayal of the radical right in the knives out series I could write a whole paper. Forgive my yapping đđ

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!

18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined

âLife after menopause is exceptionally rare in animals. It can evolve only in creatures where grannies help younger family members survive. Only human, killer whale, and short-finned pilot whale females routinely live for substantial periods after they stop breeding. Like humans, killer and pilot whales have roughly twenty-five to thirty childbearing years, then can live another thirty or so. And as Kenâs just explained, some live a lot longer. Up to a quarter of the females in a group are postreproductive. These whales are not waiting to die; they are helping their children survive. As human children often benefit from their grandmothersâ attention, killer whale grandmothers boost their grandkidsâ survival. A rather bizarre twist of killer whale society is that killer whale mothers remain crucial to the survival of their adult children. When older killer whale females die, their adult children start dying at high rates, especially males. Male killer whales who are under thirty years old when their mothers die suffer a tripling of the annual mortality rate compared to males in their age group whose mothers are still alive. Male killer whales who are more than thirty years old when their mothers die face death rates more than eight times as high as males in their age group whose mothers are still living. Daughters under thirty show no mortality increase after their mothersâ death. But daughters older than thirty when their mothers die have more than two and a half times the death rate of same-age females whose mothers are alive. Malesâ handicaps of the extra drag of their huge dorsal and pectoral fins and the extra food required for their immense size (at around 20,000 pounds, males can be one-third more massive than females) seem to make them reliant on their working mothers for food. Females donât have the malesâ impediments, but while raising young, females may rely on food shared by their no-longer-breeding mothers. Adult females share essentially all the fish they catch, and more than half goes to their children. Adult males share their catch only about 15 percent of the timeâusually with their mothers. While no one fully understands their strange death pattern following the loss of a mother, extreme parental care is likely at the root. Toothed whales are the worldâs champion nursers. Short-finned pilot whales continue to produce milk for up to fifteen years after the birth of their last calf, likely nursing other femalesâ young. In bottlenose and Atlantic spotted dolphins (further study might reveal others), some females never give birth. Denise Herzing dubbed them âcareer females,â because their role in society does not include motherhood. They might be infertile. They might be gay. But their contribution is crucial: they do a lot of babysitting. When Herzing entered the ocean with a visiting nine-year-old girl, âWhite Patches, the eternal babysitter herself, had never seen me babysitting a young human before. Her excitement vocalizations were audible and electric and she continued to swim around us, eyeing the human youngster attached to me.â (Researchers sometimes call babysitters âaunts.â Thatâs precisely who they often are.)â
