shitty little sentence that makes no sense but i just like the sound of it

yes, Aaron, tell Gene about your sweet bread

if you really want to stick it to Disney, and other corporate media giants, become fascinated by things they would never produce, so that they might fade into the background noise of life.

What's the matter babe you've barely touched your event horizon ribs

Absolute labour of love. Took me the better part of two weeks and I do not regret a moment of it.

what a night. thanks to everyone who came for the uncertain sons launch and brian evenson and other writers for coming to hang out. also many thanks to my publicist (who i am married to) for snapping these pics. time to pass out now.

hooooly shit babysitter called in sick so i was really scrambling for a while today and sweating, but looks like we have childcare so see you guys in a few hours, knock on wood we are set and ready to load up some books and things and roll out 🤞😮‍💨

my ride was the Nissan Quest. people in high school were driving sleek little cars with spoilers and lights, and i rolled up to dates* in this bad boy but in light blue *debate tournaments

Doing a Batman thread for Batman Day. Batman!

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

“No one needed all these fidget toys back in our day!” Explain these then:

oh, the mysterious knocking on the walls at night? yeah, the guy who was murdered in this house loved knocking. he loved it so much

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.

this exists it is called thinking

Finished it a couple of days ago and still thinking Thomas Ha's Uncertain Sons and Other Stories is fantastic! and you should get it. It's out now from @undertow.bsky.social .

Hello, it's been a bit ~ was going to take a short break and it turned out longer than planned But here's a sketch from today

here are my thoughts on ambiguity:

It's Pizza Friday. We've earned this.

Hey, I passed my exam. Thanks to @austinbeeman.bsky.social for the review. I generally avoid posting too much about plot but liked this tease/overview of the main novelette. Appreciate it.

New review of @thomasha.bsky.social's UNCERTAIN SONS courtesy @austinbeeman.bsky.social It's a good one! www.shortsf.com/reviews/unce...

Mark your calendars! Come hang out with me, @emnays.bsky.social, and BR Yeager for a talk about reading and writing horror at the Eastham Library :) It’s going to be a spooky good time!

Latest oil painting: "Anticipation" 18 x 24 oil on canvas #darkart #creepy #horror #nightmare #magic

Reminder for LA. This is tomorrow! Might be kinda full! Will provide masks, a little food, drinks, until we run out. Should be good. Brian will ask if I want to explain a story, I will smile and say no. And then I'll ask if he wants to explain a story, and he'll smile and say no. Over in 90 seconds

BTW, editors: I've got several more Cherryh essays cooking up that are even more ambitious than this one, so hmu if you're interested.

BREAKING: Father Intintola has endorsed Andrew Cuomo

🚨🚨trailer for CHAIR COMPANY🚨🚨 Created by Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin, starring Tim, premieres October 12 on HBO Max

I've seen a lot of praise for this already on my feed and I cannot recommend this strongly enough - masterful collection, amazed it's a debut. Horror disguised as sci fi/sci fi disguised as horror.

Indeed. Earlier this summer, the White House did this to me, as a scientific expert source in media, and issued a formal statement regarding my personal campaign contribution history in an attempt to discredit my commentary on wildfire, climate, and federal policy. Yet more alarm bells ringing...

Can’t recall if i had posted the recolor but if not here’s a recolor of older Xenomorph swarm drawing: #darkart #procreate #alien #xenomorph

Based on true events, THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED is a contemporary gothic horror set in a cursed manor on a coconut plantation—and it’s coming this fall. Thank you, @aijiang.bsky.social, for the kind words! More info in 🧵 #TheVillaOnceBeloved #VictorManibo

Hint hint hint, 2 bucks a month for the shiny FF Patreon. And I'm about to run another Patreon-only giveaway timeout! www.patreon.com/cw/fusionfra...

Ya disponibles los formatos para e-book del último relato: "La hermandad del videoclub de la calle Montague", de Thomas Ha, una historia de CF cercana que ha sido finalista de los premios Hugo y Nebula de 2025 en la categoría de Mejor Relato Largo. cuentosparaalgernon.wordpress.com/2025/09/17/l...

“I think the collection works best if you go in knowing nothing and are prepared to come out without totally understanding what the hell just happened. If you’re comfortable with the idea that every single idea is not fully explained, […] this might be for you”

finally, the September shopping list is live! new books from @almakatsu.bsky.social @brianmcwriter.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @ericlarocca.bsky.social @sarahgailey.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @tkingfisher.com @brackenmacleod.bsky.social @bitterkarella.bsky.social & MANY more!

Look, we're billionaires putting their brains in robots and dolphin translators away from most of the shit I wrote. You should probably read this book.

It's our honor to have you back, and with such an awesome story. 😊 The art, by the way, is by the blog's illustrator: Pedro Belushi.

Double podcast drop day. This one from @skiffyandfanty.com. A detailed discussion of some of the stories in UNCERTAIN SONS, and a long stretch in the middle about the actual process of ordering the stories/manuscript etc. for fellow short fic nerds. Appreciate Shaun and Daniel having me on!
