Not to brag but I get to listen to @planetx.bsky.social and @nicoleamaines.bsky.social as they work through their writing process. It is incredibly entertaining.

For those looking for something to listen to this X-Mas, might I recommend THE VOICE OF FREE PLANET X episode "A Very Planet X X-Mas," which involves Lucifer ( @robotclaw.info) making good on all those letters that were accidently sent to "Satan" instead of Santa. planetx.libsyn.com/episode-29-a...

My Mom has Medicare for all on her Christmas list. If you live in Pennsylvania’s 5th district, would you sign her petition? She has already collected 1,000+ signatures from attending protests, festivals, and meetings. psalmboxkey.com/2025/10/30/s...

I asked my mom what she wants for Christmas and she said “Medicare for all”.

Argus is the king of this type of silly scene.

It is time for the one part of the writing process I absolutely dread: choosing possible titles for my book. My agent and my editor help. I’m still very bad at it. Also, Mythwoven Book 3 will have a title and a release date very soon 😉🐺🌹

Just two days left to back WITCHING SEASON! You want to read @matthtaylor.com and my story about TRANS WITCHES battling MONSTERS don't you?!? Of course you do! So back this book!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/phi...

I alphabetized this list because we have so many saying that it can be hard to track what I have and have not recorded without a system. We occasionally debate if a saying is too new or if it has reached enough usage to gain a place on the list.

This has been a really rough few days. I recently learned of a controversy around our book THE PRINCESS IN BLACK AND THE PRINCE IN PINK. Some were outraged that Deseret Book carried it (a chain of bookstores in the west). Deseret Book appears to have complied to their demands and removed it. 1/

Fuck, marry, kill? Darling, why choose?

"I'll Be Home For Hanukkah" is a new Galaxy story I wrote in this years's DC Holiday special, I SAW MA HUNKEL KISSING SANTA CLAUS. Its got gorgeous art by @hannahtempler.com and @lgions.bsky.social, a new villian for Galaxy & 29(!) DC cameos! Final order cut off is 🌟TODAY🌟 so get your preorders in!

Here's some good news: who's coming with me and @ryehickman.bsky.social to GOBLIN TOWN!?!?!!!!

Two books for spooky season: COFFIN MOON, Keith Rosson: Best modern vampire story ever (although it's set in the 70s). THE TWISTED ONES, by T. Kingfisher: It lures you in with chatty good humor (especially about NPR Pledge Week) and a lovely dog...then slams the door and bites you in the dark.

Today I got to visit the Truelove Seeds farm where I wandered away from my group when became distracted by the quality of golden light coming over the tops of the evergreen trees in the late afternoon. It was golden, shifting fast, and illuminating the petals of blooming flowers like treasures.

My wife noted that I mostly post photos of the sky here on this app. This is true. Here are some more!

Two years ago a friend was scammed by a fraudulent business which left her without a wedding photographer. I stepped in and photographed her wedding, and in return she used her horticultural skills to design and plant a garden in the back strip of my house in West Philly.

My wife brought home a sticker book and we were surprised to find a picture of me inside:

Me and @jrblackwell.bsky.social had so much fun being Elvira and Harley Quinn for this! Give it a listen!

Just thinking about the guy who said DC would *never* let me write Superman and Batman.

Most of the photography I do these days is related to nature. Flowers and wildlife are my models and landscapes are my settings. It’s tough to carve out time for art between work and parenthood. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to get back to it someday, or find time once a year to create.

GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR, currently banned by the Department of Defense.

All this talk of THE VOICE OF FREE PLANET X reminded me of the time @tkingfisher.com and @productivityalchemy.com were on as part of a crossover with their podcast THE HIDDEN ALMANAC. That was a fun episode! planetx.libsyn.com/episode-13-w...

if queer readers all drop off suddenly but they were only buying queer books to begin with, all publishers see is that queer books suddenly aren't selling. please know that their response to this will never be anything but deciding queer books aren't worthwhile haha

I know some incredibly hot gossip and I CANNOT TELL ANYONE!

Article: If you fold your pillow and it takes time to spring back into shape, it’s probably time for a new pillow. Me: Folds my pillow into an origami swan.

In an effort to get my child to get back into bed, I asked her if she wanted to be tucked in by Monsieur Momengraff, who comes into your room on tiptoes and says "sshhh!" and "No no, iz no time for the speaking. Iz time for the beddy-byes" before tucking you in and throwing a cream pie in your face.

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Love how in publishing you can have the best day of your career and no one will know for a good six to eight business months.

The other day a fan told me that they had never seen a trans or genderqueer character in a mainstream book before, and that seeing them in HAWKGIRL helped them sort out their own gender identity. Stories are far from pointless, especially in the hands of those who need them.

Meet me at my favorite restaurant, Crazy Chicken's Pizza Coffee.

I know you will be beautiful, because the act of transitioning creates a glow of happiness and self-understanding that is unrelated to the dominant culture's fascist beauty standards. It will be glorious. I want you to have that glory. 6/6

Happy Birthday @planetx.bsky.social!

One question I get asked a lot is "When is Galaxy going to meet Superman?" Meeting someone as iconic as Superman, who Galaxy has idolized all her life, would need to be a very special and meaningful story. That story happens to be GALAXY: AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN by me and @ryehickman.bsky.social.

Good lord, this is happening tomorrow.

"He should be remembered for more than his bigotry." Maybe he should have thought about that before he did the bigotry, then. Maybe there's a lesson here.

After the cathedral of St. Andrews was no longer in use, the town sold the iron roof and the townspeople collected the stone for their houses. The cathedral became the town around it. After I took this photo my daughter told me she saw a dragon flying through the blue sky beyond the stone window.

Today's Style

My eight year old has taken up residence in this closet. She just finished the first book in the Dragonbreath series and after I got her the next two on e-reader she closed herself in. She found a little cubby in the closet where she is wedged in like the filling of a sandwich.

We got the kind of lost where you know where you are but you’re not sure if you’re on the right path. Surely the intended trail can’t be this narrow or steep.Then there is an opening in the trees and it doesn’t matter if this path is right or not, because it brought you here.

Absolutely give trans people money. But not to me, I'd prefer you just buy my books. Maybe give them to a trans kid you know. GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR bookshop.org/p/books/gala... HAWKGIRL: ONCE UPON A GALAXY bookshop.org/p/books/hawk... THE DC BOOK OF PRIDE bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Having a last look at the Kickstarter before bed. I think we'll hit @mytholder.bsky.social 's goal overnight; I think we'll get to @gejwatts.bsky.social ; and it's on the edge whether we hit @sdorward.bsky.social and @planetx.bsky.social . So, it's a great time to get an add-on or up your pledge.

happy Pride month specifically to the artist and writer duo from page 148 of Scott McCloud's Making Comics (2006)

This this this!! Honest to god shockingly depressing how often trans and queer writers’ work is review-bombed.

I was at a cocktail party and my friend noticed this Red-Tailed Hawk.

You know what’s a true, pure joy? When you find a new book and you finish it real fast and are like “Wow, this book is great!” and then you learn it’s just the first in a completed six book series. Delicious.

I've been waiting so long to talk about this, and I finally got the go-ahead! GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR is getting a sequel, GALAXY: AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN! The adventures of teen Galaxy continue, by me and the spectacular @ryehickman.bsky.social!

It helps me to focus locally, and make an impact there. How are you fighting fascism in the city or town where you live? How are you helping the people around you who are already suffering? Fascism can be resisted in small ways as well as big ones. You don't have to be a soldier to strike a blow.

Confession: Today I borrowed a book from the library just to see if the author was still using the portrait I’d taken. It gives me great delight to know that the author still likes and uses that picture.
