cat mum, black thumb, rebel scum, author
My deepest and sincerest apologies to everyone whose work I critiqued, saying that your villain was over-the-top or cartoonish. I’m so sorry. Now I understand that there's no such thing as a too-ridiculous villain. In fact, there is no ceiling to ridiculousness. I’ll do better.

New story day! "The Matador and the Labyrinth" is up at Diabolical Plots. Borges meets Hemingway.

The image is from a kylix drinking cup, c. 515 BC. The inscription around the edge reads "The boy is beautiful."

Due to extreme cold, we experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly of a water pipe and now have several inches of standing water in our basement and no running water at all while we wait for the plumber. But here's a picture of Agatha, an absolute knockout of a cat who is visiting us temporarily.

Hope there's a sequel... "Any Sign of Life" by
@raecarson.bsky.social
Narrated by Amy Landon “My smidge of hope is a fragile thing, a tiny waving flame in a vast landscape of reeking darkness. I will shelter it, treasure it, coax it, because the alternative is despair, and I don't do despair."

For those of us with seasonal depression, putting up holiday lights is a stand against despair, a determination to find joy in the darkness. So please don’t judge when we put up our lights waaaay too early and keep them up waaaay too late! 🤩🤩🤩

The honest truth is that when I’m on a tight deadline, I live like a barbarian. Wrappers and take out containers everywhere, the cat boxes stinking, dishes in piles, used tea bags. . . I’d take a picture, but I’m too embarrassed.

Rae and I have watched so much women's college basketball the past four years that if we talk about the Buckeyes or Hawkeyes or Huskies or the Cardinal, it's a women's team. By default. To prevent confusion when we talk about the men's teams we add a word, the Gentlemen Buckeyes, Hawkeyes, etc.

Dear friends of Jaime Lee Moyer, we have some very sad news. No one had heard from Jaime in more than ten days, which was concerning because her latest book was scheduled for release this week. This....

Having ChatGPT write something for you is liking having a robot exercise for you: the task might get finished but you won't accrue any benefit from it. Creativity, like athletic performance, is something that only happens as a result of doing the work yourself.

Been tracking the prices of a few items, hoping they'd go on sale for Black Friday. And they did! Every single one is on sale! For the exact same price as before. Black Friday is such a scam.

Sheree Renée Thomas has been a transformative editor at F&SF, publishing essential writers and stories. She doesn't deserve the problem she currently has to deal with there. But it doesn't surprise me that she has been forced to deal with it without publisher support. A thread. 1/x
