I asked my daughter if she wanted to hang out with me on the patio as I grilled dinner. She said she’d rather keep studying math. Some insults will burn in my brain forever.

Author copies arrived! TERRAFIDE: TALES FROM THE EDGE OF SCI-FI, HORROR, AND HUMOR releases on March 24.

Okay, I put together a kitchen cabinet. It only took all day. Please don’t ask me to make anything practical for a while. Practical is hard.

‘The Harvest’ is a Godless Top 10. Who says sci-fi and extreme horror can’t mix?

COVER REVEAL & PREORDER I’m excited to announce the release of my first story collection! Terrafide: Tales from the Edge of Sci-Fi, Horror, & Humor is part Black Mirror, part Stranger Things, and part Saturday Night Live. Thank you to all who enjoy my work and order a copy.

Excited to see young progressives like Brit running for Congress to support working families and bring some honesty, integrity, and decency back to our government.

Between work and play, I write reports, trainings, policy docs, and stories for various audiences and purposes, but by far the most important items to me are the annual Valentine’s Day poems I write for my wife and daughter—and this year’s poems are about to be delivered and read to each of them.

It’s been four days. I think there’s a good chance I’m going to die from this man cold.

Who’s ready to save the world?

Looks fabulous!

A Waymo stuck an intersection. I thought, ‘What’s the worst that could happen if you’re trapped in a malfunctioning driverless car?’ The Harvest, a short story of 25 pages, took off from there. Check out my first stab at extreme horror available at @godlesshorrors.bsky.social. Enjoy the ride.

If you see this individual at an ICE protest, do not engage! Contact authorities immediately! Their salvation could be at stake!

Yay! That makes me so glad to hear! And hopefully you find the horrors in this story have a silver lining. 😉

We see the lies. I’m not sure who Trump and his minions think they’re fooling, but the world is watching. And we’re pissed.

Buckle up. The Harvest, my first extreme horror story about a malfunctioning driverless car, is coming to @godlesshorrors.bsky.social on Friday, January 30th.

Authors! Just a reminder there’s no shame in promoting your books. youtu.be/bbBFVnNsP80

Occasionally while I’m driving a message flashes on my dashboard: “KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL!” To think, we need a reminder.

All of the problems with this timeline started when David Bowie died.

I'm always eager to have more women & non-binary & gender-fluid guests on @fanbasepress.bsky.social' flagship pod, @thefanbaseweekly.bsky.social! We're preparing for S11. If you're a creator (no matter the medium!) & interested in (virtually) chatting on a Sunday evening (Pacific Time), sound off!

still going. Still trying to make enough money to NEVER have to wear pants again. You needed some entertainment. Go read the free story about a giant interdimensional space squid. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

With love to my Iranian friends and your families. I hope this is your moment.

Everyone can see for themselves what happened, including the government’s response. Feel like our timeline is being managed by characters in a 1988 John Carpenter film. illegal aliens.

Check out my interview with Trevor Simms, star of T Bird, an action drama about a homeless man who breaks up a child trafficking ring. The film includes the final performance of Tom Sizemore. pipelineartists.com/with-t-bird-...

I am currently recovering from a deep-tissue massage, which means I paid a person skilled with their hands to beat me up and make me feel good about it.

Climate Chronicles, Los Angeles, January 3, 2026: Last year it was fire, now the rains won’t stop. Luckily, I’m snug at home with full Internet access arguing with bootlickers about the hypocrisy of the invasion of Venezuela. Distractions as they were always meant to be.

If Maduro stands trial in the United States and is convicted 34 times, does he qualify to be U.S. President?

Can someone tell me when I can expect those cheap eggs?

America invading Venezuela is no better than Russia invading Ukraine is no better than China invading Taiwan. Why in the 21st century do we let our governments be run by lying hypocrites and provide them the excuses they need for never-ending wars? “War is peace.” -George Orwell, 1984

Great point! Imagine a future where tech holds us accountable! "The Matrix" warned us about over-reliance on machines. Could this be the wake-up call we need? 🚗⚡ What do you think? 🪐📚

Today is National Science Fiction Day, which is awesome, but I think more people would pay attention if they start receiving emails from chatbots reminding them this is the first year their phones will emit an electric shock every time they text when they drive.

Seeing so many compelling satirical films this year—Bugonia, One Battle After Another, The Substance, and Opus—gives me hope that Hollywood is becoming more willing to evolve in its storytelling to capture niche audiences. The movie industry will certainly keep me tuned in 2026.

In 2025, GLAAD Award-winning & Eisner-nom'd publisher & media outlet Fanbase Press celebrated its 15th anniversary. We're grateful to our friends for sharing their thoughts on the past 15 years. We look forward to the next 15 & beyond! ~ @barbrajdillon.bsky.social & @comicbooksniffer.bsky.social

Love this day, after the holiday parties, when I have a chance to write and set up my projects for the year before the grind resumes.

To the Earthlings out there: I hope the new year brings you more of what you need and less of what you don’t. To the non-Earthlings out there: I hope you come in peace.

WRITING ADVICE Sometimes people ask me for writing advice. Although I’d gladly speak to process, my main advice has little to do with developing a draft and almost everything to do with editing it.

Gearing up for fun. Hope y’all are, too.

2025 recap: We spiked the Kool-Aid with brain worm, so this year might leave you feeling dazed and confused and a little nauseous as you try to follow what’s happening around you. Totally understandable! Just remember, we’re doing this because you told us this is how we can make your life better.

If you read The Harvest, and it messed with you, feel free to let ’em know. Thank you!

Every year my amazing mother gives a Christmas ornament to her three children, their three spouses, and to her 10 grandchildren. Each ornament reflects a major event for that person for the year. I believe this year’s ornament to Sage wins for funniest expression.

Time of year when the sunsets from the office window are sublime.

Today’s sunset reminded me of this quote: “The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.” - George Orwell, 1984
