“There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.” — Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues #booksky

Recently learned that Tom Robbins passed away earlier this year at age 92. Not sure how this news escaped me—it should have been a National Day of Mourning if the USA had any standards. He only produced 8 novels, but each one is a banger and an absolute delight to read. RIP #booksky

“To fight in a war,” [Huckleberry Finn] said. “Can you imagine?” “Would that mean facing death every day and doing what other people tell you to do?” I asked. “I reckon.” “Yes, Huck, I can imagine.” Funny, horrifying, razor sharp, and winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction #booksky

The Kesh culture is explored through short stories, anthropology records, myths, plays, novel excerpts, song lyrics, and poetry. This non-narrative style may turn off some readers, but Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin is a master class in worldbuilding! Heyiya Heyiya #booksky #solarpunk

What I'm lacking most from the DOPE effect is oxytocin. Would love to share progress updates with other writers. Here's one: I have an opening scene in mind for the first act of a new novel. Next step: writing that opening scene and outlining an actual story arc. What's your progress update?

Sharing another alternative to Goodreads: The StoryGraph. One feature I like about this platform is it allows you to import your Goodreads data so you don't have to start from scratch. Plus it's owned by a black woman, not a white male billionaire. Add me! app.thestorygraph.com/profile/anon...

Need a good SF/F book rec? Reactor Magazine created a fun game to find one. Which cube will you choose?

Farewell, Garth Hudson. Thank you Garth, Levon, Robbie, Rick, and Richard. The Band's music is timeless, and I know I will be listening to them until the end of my days. ✌️❤️🎸

Highlighting a nonfiction book I read recently. Psychedelic rites of passage are a part of our history. I believe the world is a poorer place due to the loss of these rites--there would be no Donald Trump in a world where dissolution of the ego was a natural part of our life experience.
