I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

On a winning reading streak this month: Notes from a Regicide by @isaac-fellman.bsky.social - languid, queer, gloriously strange Rakesfall by @vajra.me - Allow me to be the 1st to say this book rules In the middle of Beings by @ilanaslightly.bsky.social - love it so much I brought it on vacation

"The notion that maybe technology constitutes a source of problems and grievances and people might be looked on as a source of solutions has very rarely entered public policy or even public consciousness." -- Ursula Franklin should be required reading right now.

I found out about it AFTER it got nominated for the LeGuin, but this is a quietly incredible book. Non-linear narrative with bold formal choices. Alternate histories, fascinating futures including the relationships people form with AI. Gorgeous style and a really different approach to sci-fi.

Join me! We're going to be curious and strange and playful in our writing together!

Hey weird brain writers! Wanna experiment with non-linear fiction? It's going to be SO FUN. 6 weeks! Remote! More details here!! 👇

As a writer, painter, and former record-store manager, I want to underline every word @bencollins.bsky.social said here. We are fucking human beings who do amazing things. We should absolutely glory in that and not become cogs in somebody's efficiency machine or let ourselves be stripped for parts.

Never not humbling to be a writer

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Cannot tell you how unbelievable it feels to be on this shortlist, and in holy cow such amazing company!!!

Not gonna lie, I giggle every time my mustache photo is in a lineup with other author photos

YES YES YES Thank you @megapolisomancy.bsky.social "Is it a stretch to rejoice in the fact that [weird fiction’s] elision of boundaries defies fascism’s hysterical insistence on clean lines and demarcations? Probably. I’m thinking it anyway." ancillaryreviewofbooks.org/2025/05/02/r...

Eeeee so excited to step into official Masshole-dom by having Remember You Will Die on the longlist for the Massachusetts Book Awards... in some VERY intimidating company 🤯

The news is again in its "stock traders looking concerned" era

It’s just a fact that most of us are not particularly brave. But we *are* social—and we can become braver when someone invites us into action.

Thank you @mollytempleton.com for the nod to Remember You Will Die! 😍"The book began to feel not as if it stared at death, but like it had found a way to show how the tendrils of each life reach out & find their way into so many other lives. It was, in the least hokey way possible, life-affirming."

This is the news we deserve. “These are the 1st images of humpbacks having sex, and they're both males 'It was not what I was expecting,' says biologist Stephanie Stack”

Local library has a secondhand bookstore, which is delightful, and as a new volunteer there, they have given me TOTAL CONTROL of what goes into the speculative fiction section, which I am remolding to my own tastes and YES I AM DRUNK WITH POWER

AMAZING AND CONGRATS!!!!!!! The chaos of this pitch completely communicates the chaos of this hilarious and awesome book. 🎉 Woop Woop! 🎉

And now for something completely different... I am SO EXCITED to share that my good buddy Mary Winn Heider and I co-wrote a comedy murder mystery! Some might notice the real-life influences embedded in this pitch... Huge thanks, as always, to my brilliant agent @cammc9.bsky.social!!

1/* Book One is WHEN FRANNY STANDS UP by @edenrobins.bsky.social read.sourcebooks.com/978172825600...

This book is so good!!

Sorry to report this edition is abridged

This was weird and excellent and I have been recommending Remember You Will Die since I finished. I first saw this book in a Gabino Friday share post just like this one. 🤗

Here is a better image. Where I can actually see the illustrator's name. Amazing artwork by @emmaluck22.bsky.social #sciart
