happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

I’m on my flight to PAXU and I’ll be there all weekend! Come find me at 2451 and play a demo of the new Slay the Spire Downfall expansion with me!

See but when I said it to my film professor in an essay on the test I got points taken off 🙄

Me and Brandon can’t see the imposter anymore. If you can please report, otherwise it seems I’ve won the Clone Wars.

AYO! Quick-fast: /@wlsobell is obviously a fake. If you’re already following @wlsobel.bsky.social then you have no need for this IMPOSTOR! And if you’re not following the real Will Sobel, then you should fix that. KILL THE MIMIC! (report this faker)

Maybe I'm crazy but 2001: A Space Odyssey is such an annoying movie. The long whines and horns mixed with 4-minute long beats of silence while showing us space is probably meant to make the viewer uncomfortable but instead it just makes me wanna turn it off.

Your queer friends see you making fun of Trump and Bill Clinton being sexually active. You wanna be more nuanced in those jokes? Great! But Donnie and Bill being sexual active with one another as two consenting adults isn't the gotcha you think it is.

Tomorrow marks 14 years since Skyrim came out for the first time.

The Dungeons of Drakkenheim: Daggerheart Kickstarter just crossed the $250k mark, which means we'll be writing a brand-new adventure site for the book! Next: at $300k, we'll add even *more* adversaries. <3 www.kickstarter.com/projects/dun...

Yesterday got my flu and COVID shots AND had blood drawn for some unexpected tests. Today I'm wiped. Absolutely can't stay awake, let alone focused.

The scariest thing you can be for Halloween is a late-capitalist billionaire taking away SNAP benefits from families in need.

Reminder that no one is gonna pay for drugs then put them in your kids Halloween candy. Drugs are expensive.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word about my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help. Here's a pic of who I currently have available. All of my creations are designed, sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

F&SF has released the new cover for their summer 2025 issue. The art is for the story "Soul Rebel" by @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social. The magazine decided not to use their previously announced cover art for the issue after learning it was likely AI generated. asimovs.com/wp-content/u...

Bank robber warns that if he has to compensate EVERY person he stole from, it would financially ruin the bank robbery industry.

Oscilio winning is bonkers, but especially in a sea of Gravy Bones. Congrats.

People who see my bookshelves ask if I’ve read all those books. That would be bragging. My shelves are a promise to future me that I’ll always have something to read.

The collective noun for old white people is called an “embarrassment”

I'm not going to choose among my top three: "Saint Death's Daughter" by @csecooney.bsky.social "The Vengeance" by @emmanewman.bsky.social "How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying" by @djangowexler.bsky.social (I mean, why do one book recommendation when I can do three?)

Today is my birthday! 🥂😁 Would you share my art, please?? 😇🥰 It is the best gift an artist can get!! 💖 Thank you!!! 💜

And it seems lots of people think it's bad to start a sentence with a conjunction. But I don't care. Because I'm going to do it anyway.

I just finished Amazon’s new War of the Worlds movie featuring Ice Cube. Some of the worst dialogue and worst acting I’ve seen. So much fun to watch while a little high and laugh at when Ice Cube looks into the camera and says “it’s a Brave New World” and just be like… nah that’s a different story.

I am off to Seattle Worldcon today. Hope to see some of you at booth 617!

I was getting ready for then I was at Gen Con. Here are my thoughts about games right now.

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away. So don't let it go away. Keep it going. In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

If I had a nickel for every cozy tabletop game announced or released this year with the word "River" in the title I'd have 3 nickels...

Now that I’ve slept and recovered here’s my Gen Con haul sans presents for minion. My legacy group only came away with one new game this year, a stark difference from then 5 from last year we still haven’t gone through.

Picked this deck box up from @ultimateguard.bsky.social and I was so excited until I flipped it over. Looks like my art was extended with ai. @magic.wizards.com needs to make sure their partners don’t do this. I would have happily extended this for a couple hundred $$. Instead it looks awful!

Something I noted a couple of times here today at GenCon is that I think it's important for publishers to invest in "midlist" and/or newer authors because the cash cows at the top can die, stop producing, or blow up in scandals, and if you don't have a stable of writers to step up, you're screwed.

I don't know how it got to be the end of summer but... Hi! I'm the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for 2026 sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and crossover speculative books! If you've got an adult or YA SFFH book publishing next year please share the link/info here!

Gen Con is the best place to find a party of a paladin, wizard, and a bard struggling to pay public parking at a kiosk across the street from Spider-Man and Deku inhaling a White Castle breakfast burrito.

Gen Con day -1 is in the books! Setup continues tomorrow.

It’s 3 days until Gen Con starts, over 80 degrees, and our AC just stopped working 🙃

Post your lock screen.

If you're in Indianapolis for Gen Con next week a local restaurant is hosting a nice coursed dinner inspired by the history of D&D on Wednesday night and I'll be talking about that history! It's a ticketed event so make sure you grab one if you're interested.

Don't start with these dreary stories. Starting with the issue where Moon Knight wields Mjolnir and turns against the Avengers and ask yourself wtf is going on?

yall wanna avoid cyberpunk being a reality? financial institutions should not have this kind of power.

Last night our AC started struggling in the heat. I put in a request with our landlord and they're (thankfully) talking with their vendors to put together a reasonable timeline (hopefully this weekend) instead of being dicks. In the meantime, we're gonna see Superman to avoid the misery.

I don’t mean to disparage the movie. But it’s shocking how little this is being talked about.

CW Fantastic Four First Steps prominently features child endangerment. Please watch accordingly.

they're still making south park?

Good morning to Tom's mom, alt-text version

My Big Idea essay on @scalzi.com's Whatever blog discusses why I wrote about a neurodiverse main character in my new novella We Who Hunt Alexanders. Hint: In fiction, the mask comes off. As someone on the spectrum and with ADHD, I mean that literally. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/07/23/t...

I picked these out of our new garden the other day, then used some of those cherry tomatoes to make guacamole for game night.

Happy book release day to We Who Hunt Alexanders, my quirky novella from @apexmag.bsky.social about a neurodivergent monster dealing with both her mom's wrong expectations for her life and the religious extremists hunting them down. Don't miss it! 1/ www.apexbookcompany.com/products/we-...
