I just learned about Boston marriages where wealthy 19th century women "married" each other by moving in together to keep their inherited or hard-earned money to themselves and some of these "marriages" turned into actual romantic relationships. And now I'm obsessed.#MSWL but witches/vampires/werewolves/etc.

This is amazing. Mannakin, a mannequin company in Grantham, offer customers the chance to do a ‘Drive Through Heist’ where you have 15 minutes to fill up your car with mannequin body parts from their mannequin mountain.mannakin.com/p/drive-throug… pic.twitter.com/XGL18UE2zU

Meet YInMn, the First New Blue Pigment in Two Centuries! Created accidentally in 2009 by chemists at Oregon State University. Named after its components — Yttrium, Indium, and Manganese — and its luminous, vivid pigment never fades.hyperallergic.com/615971/meet-yi… pic.twitter.com/oxUdQy8SqK
#mswl: a speculative novel that feels like this exact color—luminous, vivid, never-fading

So last night, I was having a perfectly fine realist dream. Until I wandered off the property I was staying into the woods where I encountered a witch's cottage. She was a very nice witch. We were talking over the fence of her garden.#mswl: this entire vibe please
(disclaimer: i love owls! they’re great! but i also love murderous witches who know what they want and protect their own)

YESSo much of the innovative stuff we need to do in the food system is basically sci-fi?
We couldn't just have speculative fiction epics about resurrection forests & floating ocean cities built on living electrified reef
We could be *doing* that shit if we talked about it. twitter.com/jonrog1/status…
#mswl — resources, economies, associated inequities, &c. are entirely my jam

let’s unpack why teenage girls ask the same questions academics do in more accessible terms and get dragged through the mud#mswl — this is everything I want in YA speculative fiction
also, perfect place to plug @ockaur’s forthcoming YA SF novel, RISE OF THE RED HAND, whose teen heroine asks alllll the uncomfortable questions about power and inequality—often with her fists 😉
