Hugo Nominations close soon!!!!! my novella, The Death of Mountains (from @lethepress.bsky.social) is eligible! if you're wondering if it's any good? it's a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize and the Nebula Award. please consider small presses in your Hugo Nominations. thank you!!!

If you're reading for Hugo noms, I'd love it if you'd read "Laser Eyes Ain't Everything"! It's a Nebula finalist, and Locus called it a "sharp satire". It's even got rage and catharsis and superhero puns. Read it at www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1... or in the SFWA Nebulas packet!

The Hugos are finishing up their nominations, and if you are reading I’d be so honored if you would consider my short story, “Six People to Revise You”, from @uncannymagazine.bsky.social . It won first place in the Reader Poll and is a Nebula finalist! www.uncannymagazine.com/article/six-...

Thanksgiving 2000, my family had an old crappy computer with speakers that sounded like they were under water in space. It took the whole Thanksgiving meal to load a thirty second trailer. It was for Sorcerer’s Stone. I watched it through messy pixels over and over again until I had it memorized. /1

if ICE is actually going to be out there thugging people at airports SF conventions and stuff better start prepping the whole virtual attendance thing again because there's whole swathes of panelists who aren't going to want to do flights for a bit

I LOVE this story. Absolute gut punch.

A week to go on those Hugo noms. If you’re reading for this award, I’d be honored if you’d consider this short story.

When you spend six hours reading a book and then you finish it and you’re shaking and crying. Totally normal thing.

Had a great chat with Tales From the Bridge where we discussed my new book as well as some of my other work. We also talked about movies, Lego, and how my background influences what I write. To listen, click the link: rb.gy/u7bslg

Listen, I'm never not going to be awkward about answering fan mail. But I am never not going to be super excited and have my entire day made by fan mail, either. All this to say, if you have an author you wanna write, do it. It helps us so much.

Today is a no bones day.

Liam Ramos, the boy in the blue bunny hat, was used as bait by ICE. He was kidnapped & thrown in the Dilley camp where his health immediately declined. Public pressure got him released. He became a symbol of resistance. So the regime stripped his asylum status. They’re quashing all hope:

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid. I will not be answering questions.

My short story, "Jinjur," is in this anthology. I am a HUGE Oz fan, and I'm so excited for this project. When I got to write about one of my favorite characters, I jumped at the chance to take one of the spikier women in Oz and explore bi-erasure and trust issues. <3

I have read all the other short story nominations for the Nebulas and I'm telling you ... HOLY SHIT MY BRAIN THEY'RE SO GOOD. You GOTTA read them. Go! Do it! Right now!

Damn good story.

Found this old photo of baby me and @brandoncrilly.bsky.social and @ktbryski.bsky.social getting our membership cards back in 2017. And now I'm a Nebula finalist. I'm gonna cry.

Just finished up Revision 2 of Part 1 of my Nonbinary Wizard School WIP. Okay, look, I know it's a mouthful but I actually feel like I'm writing actual lines now and not just he said she said he looked she stareds.

Watching the love is blind reunion … Straight culture is something else.

Was reminded of how proud I am of this essay I wrote for @uncannymagazine.bsky.social www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

Back to the WIP from hell. Fixed a tension/plot situation. Slowly making my way through. Still don't have an ending.

Just discovered a new reviewer with like amazing taste. So many TBRs added after reading through these articles. everybookadoorway.com/about/

I have a story in this, all about General Jinjur!

It’s Friday! We made it!

February standout #3: Six People to Revise You by @jrdawson.bsky.social

Yes, your donations matter and count. Keep it in mind while people are struggling in Kansas and try to come up with an exit plan. We wouldn't have been able to move to Minneapolis if it hadn't been for a GFM.

Actually wrote this morning. I've been sick and it's nice to get back on the saddle, but now everything I write looks like crap. Crappy crap crap.

ABSOLUTELY DECEASED.

I have been WAITING for this

It's time! Nominations are now open for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction, which will be given to a work of imaginative fiction, published in 2025, that reflects the concepts and ideas that were central to Ursula’s own work.

This is a great story
