@Ben_Aaronovitch you wouldn’t happen to know of any POC authors, who were pressured into changing their protagonist’s race by publishers/agents/etc? Historically speaking. Between 1900-1990?
@neilhimself I just logged on the say, on my Nth time through the 10th anniversary ed. of AG and I, just now, heard Appleseed call her *Dame* Rumour. Still making me smile after all these years. Thank you kind sir.
@syjlar Thx for reaching out! There is in fact an e-version, but I’ve never actually seen the digital output, so I can’t say if they’ll be more helpful or not. If a new addition ever becomes relevant, I’ll update w/ more accessible images.(sry. 1st book🙇)
@AlexBledsoe I'm going back through the Eddie Lacrosse audio books and I forgot how curious I was about that day he woke up in the inn, hung over and surrounded by the cooling dead...
@NateCow@tweetbot Not sure if I’m going to get brand new hardware to accommodate an app that doesn’t support my current iOS. That seems excessive. Particularly as twitter is a doom-scape anyway.
What should front page headlines be today?
A. Another story about Harry & Meghan
B. A High Court Judge rules Boris Johnson’s Government has broken the law (again)
NEW: Louis DeJoy personally ordered cuts to overtime for USPS workers last summer, according to a memo sent to Republican Senate staff and obtained by CREW.
DeJoy denied doing so — under oath — last August.

Today I channeled my energy into this very unofficial but passionate petition for scientists to start drawing icebergs in their stable orientations. I went to the trouble of painting a stable iceberg with my watercolors, so plz hear me out.

So @Facebook has blocked access to our website. We are not a news organisation. Australian workers can not now find out about their rights at work via @Facebook. This is disgraceful & needs to be reversed immediately
You may have heard that @Facebook is banning all Australian news links on their platform.
They are also stopping people from joining their union.
Please help us get the word out that they are preventing workers organising to fight for their rights at work.

Another one. Cops say 52-year-old Asian woman violently shoved in Flushing yesterday. Suspect shouted “get the F*** out of my way!” Hit head against newsstand box. Daughter tells me she needed 10 stitches. Not being investigated as Hate Crime, but that could change. More at 11p.
It's been 3 years since our criticisms of OW because of the unnecessary exclusion of unambiguous Black Women and this is what they do during US #BlackHistoryMonth after *checks notes* VICE mischaracterized their response to the SEC filing made regarding diversity recruiting.
