Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Not gonna lie... this episode is all over the place (in a good way), but I'm so much more proud of this cover art than anything I said on the podcast itself 😌

Learning Procreate slowly. From a photo I took in New Mexico this past May. Happy Labor Day. Get some rest, you deserve it💙🦋

This is an excellent piece by @eccantwell.bsky.social. "He is pushed out of his seat by nothing, by a shadow—by the flicker of a suggestion that his feminine double is still out there, waiting to build him an arched pathway along which he could float freely."

I put a Dave Matthews song on my writing playlist. Hello midlife crisis👀

i think some of what’s happening here is many cishet white leftists inadvertently revealing their belief that LGBTQ people only care about ourselves and that progressive policy is a zero-sum game. marginalized people who are accustomed to banding together for survival often don’t see it that way

Bond is actually the villain in many of these films.

Proud to say that I have single-handedly impeded Newsom by pointing out that the primary is three years away, there are other candidates, and in a democratic process, we debate candidates 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend! Still manifesting something something

Marty Mcfly: a time machine? Lets go back in time and stop Hitler Doc Brown: oooor we could help your dad fuck your mom

MY BOOK'S OUT TODAY! books2read.com/MatthewKing Four killers meet for dinner, but what do they find? Friends? Murder?! LOVE?! This Horrormance reveals relatable killers whose amusing banter is playful and thought-provoking, tackling issues like gender identity, discrimination, and feminism.🖤🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💀

Asking for book blurbs is a really nerve-wracking experience and I cannot believe how generous people are being with #EdgeOfSpaceTime given <points to everything happening> I look forward to sharing. In the meantime, have you preordered yet? It helps a book so much!

Me last night refreshing my feed to see if it happened.

Current situation with COVID19 vaccines at CVS. ACIP is meeting September 18-19 so it will likely become available at pharmacies w/o a prescription then, unless ACIP pulls the rug out. Prescription requirement related to state laws requiring ACIP approval for pharmacist administration.

Really great weekend to start wearing a mask again😷. Do it for yourself and your community. 💙❤️💪

Have a great weeekend, everyone! 💙🦋

“I don’t care what anyone says, I LOVE that movie!”

! pretty sure I just saw @prisonculture.bsky.social saying this same thing, and I know that at least a few law folks are trying to think through how it could work

A personal announcement!

If you’re not here to support, accept, and protect trans people then just leave them the fuck alone.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

Neighborhood graffiti appreciation post. I love Portland. #portland

Cis people: This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand. And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

It’s easy to get cynical but it feels so much better to seek joy—something Reylo reminds me to do often. If you’re feeling down, this discussion will lift you up. Thank you @hamsa.bsky.social and @mariecgould.bsky.social. 💙🦋💙🦋

Bookmarking this awful day because I have a feeling it’s an awful watershed moment in my life.

Good morning. We still need an opposition candidate who doesn't dehumanize transgender people and terrorize houseless communities.

Fell in love with the Bronx yesterday 💙

Social media algos really did a number on folks. Just because you see a post doesn't mean it was written specifically for you. If you disagree, esp with a post from someone you don't follow, you are under no obligation to reply, and I am thoroughly uninterested in managing your negative feelings.

When they tell you you have to read to write, what they mean but aren’t drilling down to is “practice observing.” If you’re reading, observe what works. What patterns are effective, the patter, the distinctive voices, the pacing, the structure. What they don’t tell you is you can practice this—

I last posted about this with everyone at Worldcon, so I'd appreciate a boost if you're willing as the world is noisy and full of horror, but the African SF Novels and Novellas Bundle - curated by Eugen Bacon, is still going strong at StoryBundle, and includes 2 of my novels! storybundle.com/scifi

Watched a random video on how many African cultures view time and how it isn’t future focused so their isn’t an idea of wasting time. It’s about creating past and being present now. Living presently allows for us to be grateful. Don't be sad it's over, be happy that it happened.

New York from New Jersey always looks wild to me. A distant, never sleeping giant whose humming energy you can feel across the water.

Whenever I fly, one of my favorite things to do at the airport is AirDrop random pictures of my cats to strangers. No one is accepting today so here you all go

Real talk (reel talk?): BWDR recently lost a partnership that covered nearly half our operating budget, so things are suddenly very tough. If what we do has ever meant something to you, or you’ve ever thought about subscribing, now’s the time—it *truly* makes a difference.

Darkest just before the dawn. We'll make it through the night.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

Haven’t listened yet but recommend any discussion with these two 🦋🦋🦋

People being forcibly disappeared isn’t a distraction or a “trap”. What are y’all doing ??

If you’re in DC and seeing National Guard/Federal agent activity, reach out via Signal at marisakabas.04

For Pete’s sake, PLEASE go talk to your local (teen) librarians. Most libraries have them, MANY are SFF nerds, and their LITERAL JOB is to read and recommend contemporary stuff.

I see life as a shared gift, received from others and passed on to others, living and dying as one process, in which lies both our suffering and our reward. Without mortality to purchase it, how can we have the consciousness of eternity? I think the price is worth paying.

Second this. I really, really want to interact in this space but am really, really uncomfortable how visible my posts are from people who lurk and like multiple posts. 30+ notifications from a person you don’t follow or interact with on Bluesky.

If you haven’t seen The Forty-Year-Old Version yet put your phone down now and delight in the genius of Radha Blank. This film is pure joy.

I watched The Last Jedi last night. I always do when I’m starting a new project. There are just so many layers in that film. The empathy Rian Johnson writes these characters with is something to strive for in life and creativity.

on the fin-hand side...

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

librarians everywhere
