With its new AI-based "search," Google is literally killing the infrastructure that its entire business is built on. Instead of linking people to the web, it will lock users into an "interactive" mode that slorps up data what is rapidly becoming the now-neglected and unvisited web. (1/3)

One of the current scams targeting writers is to send an e-mail that appears to be from a real editor, full of gushing (LLM-generated) praise for one of their books. There are a couple of very specific tells I want to flag for the vulnerable.

Just two weeks until pub day for THE JELLYFISH PROBLEM! New York Times bestselling author Carley Fortune has called it "an utterly original debut," and there's still time to preorder a copy and help me boost those first-day sales 🙏🪼 tinyurl.com/yscbh3pb

This pose is called "cooling the undercarriage" and it's how we know summer is upon us

Loved @hollay.bsky.social's seriously playful, playfully serious novel about a woman and her sock puppet. Published by @palimpsestpress.bsky.social. Check it out if you like whimsical queer stories that will break your heart just a little!

Given that my favorite way to discover new reads is to wander into my local library and see what the librarians have put out for me, I'm extra excited that THE JELLYFISH PROBLEM has been named one of 10 @libraryreads.bsky.social picks for June! libraryreads.org

Writing tip: Before submitting your manuscript, read it aloud to yourself from beginning to end. Then go to the refrigerator and open its door. If the manuscript is good, all the potatoes will have turned into birds who fly out singing your name.

I gave my fiancée an early copy of THE JELLYFISH PROBLEM. Every time I walk into the room, she's reading it. Deeply unsettling.

It's going to take slightly more than a floating smiley blob for me to come around to Microsoft Copilot. (Also am I crazy or does it look like a tooth...?)

Got something pretty cool in the mail today

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough Thank you for being a friend to all animals and for helping the world to cherish us x

There was once an idea that it was a good thing for people, regardless of social background, to study the arts and humanities because those fields address what it is to be human. That idea was always under pressure, but to see its near destruction in recent years has been depressing.

I'm reading a book and really enjoying it. I already knew almost all the words but they're arranged in an order I've never seen before.

There was Ke$ha. There is Ka$h Patel. But is the country ready for Te$$a?

I just saw two songbirds getting, ah, *intimate* in a tree. What is this an omen of??

honestly it’s hilarious that he’s trying to fight the pope and the pope is like “I don’t think about you at all”

Really loved this reimagining of Anne Boleyn by @rebeccaslehmann.bsky.social. Fantastical, suspenseful, compassionate, & with a sapphic side quest to boot 👑

Now that I have a mockingbird screaming in my backyard 24/7, I would like to call bullshit on Atticus Finch

My favorite part of going to the doctor is when he touches my forehead holding the glowing orb of light
