Not to be a thing used to be better guy but I miss when io9 was run by Charlie Jane Anders and Annalee Newitz or maybe I'm still mourning pre-Hogan Gawker Media

Ann Leckie starting with "Ancillary Justice"
Martha Wells' "Murderbot Diaries" starting with "All Systems Red"
Charlie Jane Anders' "The City in the Middle of the Night"
Annalee Newitz' "The Terraformers"

Who from Star Trek would I invite to a dinner party?

Both of them.

Who from Star Trek would I invite to a dinner party? 😅 I'm still deep in my Vorik obsession, so at the moment my first choice would be to invite him to an intimate, private, candle lit dinner for two, in my quarters 😏

18 February

Coming soon on Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000:

Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders of @ouropinions.bsky.social will join me & @alexhanna.bsky.social for a take-down of attempts at principles to govern the use of autonomous agents in Asimov's SF and Biden's US military.

Indeed - as Charlie Jane pointed out in her article, we like to live in denial that we all live under the heels of the indifferent deities of chance and misfortune, but too many of us are fond of pretending that wanton cruelty will appease them.

Oooh, is there an io9 successor I don’t know of? AFAIK Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane transitioned to being fulltime authors but are the other site writers still blogging somewhere?

Autonomous & The Terraformers, both by Annalee Newitz

Also:
- Near Dark and Point Break both by Kathryn Bigelow
- the romcoms of Nora Ephron
- the work of @morganmpage.bsky.social (especially, but not just, around trans histories)
- Sara Schulman
- Alison Bechdel
- Ryka Aoki
- Charlie Jane Anders (and Annalee Newitz if we're also including enbies)

Hello I would like to sign up for this initiative too.
Also, I can absolutely see that with both of them and I love it.

I think it’s a good thing I’m not in charge of selecting books for my library because all I’d buy are Charlie Jane Anders, Annalee Newitz, N.K. Jemisin and Nghi Vo books and very little else. Maybe a Casey McQuiston book about lesbians, or some Freya Marske for spice.

Ohhh, these look amazing! I really love your art and characters. And your concepts for them as well!
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more! Maybe I would like to learn more about your characters, too.

I am head over he was madly in love with Holly and her beautiful dog daughter I would love to mating press both of them and get them both pregnant and have a big family with them

Anyway. The people involved in 2021 were (as far as I can recall): Emily St. James, Charlie Jane Anders, T.L. Pavlich, Eve Ettinger, Annalee Newitz, Yanyi, and Frankie de la Cretaz, who is part of this more recent effort too. If I'm missing anyone, let me know. Their work deserves acknowledgment.

It’s The Terraformers by @annaleen.bsky.social Annalee Newitz for me! Loving the characters and the world.

Can I invite you to like and add the NSFW roleplay feed?? Would love to see more of your muses!

I have that problem with Bush II and Trump. Visceral reaction to both of them. Would love to slap them both in the face. With a shovel.

THANK YOU! FumbleBaum/Keebs and I have characters in the same universe so they show up a lot in both of our posts. AND PLEASE, I LOVE YOUR CHARACTERS AND HOPE TO SEE MORE LORE/ART OF THEM ALL!

i would love to meet these characters in game tbh annalee!

The couple began to invite Peart over for dinner and cocktails. Knowing he loved music...that on turn inspired them to start a "dinner and a show" tradition, where Peart would play piano for them and they would bring dinner in exchange for the entertainment."

I want an old person friend.

honestly i think it is VERY interesting and would love to see more details on them, like showcasing bits of the world with them in it(i presume they sometimes might travel together?) so for example a picture with them in a background of your world and then a side picture showcasing,
