There is so much Love in the Black SFF community, and it always comes at you from unexpected places, and in the most wonderful ways. Also, while I vaguebook with glee, let me just remind you that the Cookout #kickstarter is now live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/and...

Short Story newly available in the Amazon #Kindle store. It is #FREE to download, but only for the next 4 days. : www.amazon.com/Water-Baby-T...

It's the 2nd installment of the Queer AF Spec Fic Reading Club, a patron-exclusive thing where we dive deep into a single story. This time, we're looking at “To Access Seven Obelisks, Press Enter” by V.M. Ayala (Lightspeed 8/2025). Become a patron and check it out: www.patreon.com/posts/149881...

Been busy with work/grief this weekend but very appreciative of the Locus folks adding Dizzy to the Recommended Reading List. Congratulations, all locusmag.com/2026/02/2025...

Feel like I'm losing my mind. Decided today, of all days, to seriously re-organize my bedroom/office. Why do I have so much stuff? Where even did all this STUFF come from?! I've officially reached that point in the process where if this were a road trip, I'd be turning around and going back home. 😅

Twenty vignettes and short stories. This collection invites you to marvel at the macabre and maleficent and embrace the weird and wonderful. Odd creatures and even odder humans abound. www.smashwords.com/books/view/1...

There's a brand new ebook with some of my short fiction: tonyarmoore.com/books/select... (the ebook costs $2.99 USD, but is on sale for $0.99 USD through the end of February 2026. Print version coming soon.

The #kickstarter for The Cookout anthology - @tco-anthology.bsky.social officially Launches soon! Sign up on the pre-launch to be notified when it goes live: www.kickstarter.com/projects/and...

Website updated. I've compiled all the stories that were available for online reading--along with a few others in this collection: books2read.com/u/bOgaaA

Dispelling Fantasies made the BSFA longlist!!! I'm honored. Academics don't publish books to make lots of money, so being recognized by my fellow SFF lovers and having people tell me the book has been useful to them is the thing that keeps me going in my research!

@mitokondria.bsky.social I don't know if you like Star Wars and would therefore appreciate this, but I hope you do: ... when I was a little kid, I totally thought midiclorians were mitochondria.

@evavroslin.bsky.social just saw your GFM post. Sorry things didn't work out. It was such an exciting opportunity. More will come along --let's have faith in that hope.

Society does NOT need to fix us so that women more conveniently serve the sexual needs of men. How about --gee, I dunno--teaching them to perceive and treat women as actual human beings? Maybe they'd get some then.

Yes! That's it! That guy is living rent free in my head today and for the life of me, I couldn't remember his name. 😅

Anyone remember --off the top of your head-- the title of that Herman Melville story where the protagonist just stands around in the office and says "I'd prefer not to" to every instruction or request... which included ever even leaving the spot i the office where he was standing...?

When you're so racist you want to literally BREED the black out of humanity. #thegreatdebate #eugenics

I hate this this is not a thing. Why is it not totally a thing???

You ever have all these awesome things to do in mind but you literally can't do ANYTHING because you can't decide WHICH awesome thing to do first?

Congratulations to all of the winners and finalists of the World Fantasy Awards!

I wonder how many of the 40 million people deprived of SNAP benefits next month are going to die. & Make no mistake. People ARE going to die. Of starvation. In America.

I can't sleep I'm so anxious. My homeland is facing a severely catastrophic event. I don't know how the people of Jamaica are going to make it through this. They certainly have the courage and resilience to weather such a disaster but damn, this is bad. #Melissa
