Finished reading IwtV and I definitely hadn't read the whole thing (if I ever did). What a strange little thought experiment on the human condition. A whole lotta "wouldn't it be fucked up if..." in one book.

Definitely ‘Amplitudes: Stories of Queer and Trans Futurity’ from @erewhonbooks.bsky.social! Editing this project was such a powerful joy, especially right now, and I’m honored by all the amazing writers & translators who contributed and entrusted me with their stories. bookshop.org/p/books/ampl...

Honestly, the "Target has a new rule about interacting with customers" thing also underscores how much skill service jobs require. Knowing when/how to interact w/a customer is a *skill*. "Smile and greet within 10 feet" is a blanket rule to cover for the fact that they don't train on that skill.

The toe-biting fiend in question

Woke up and kitten is choosing violence. Let's see how much rewriting I can get in before she eats my toes. #5amWritersClub

Me: I'm going to have time to work on the queer books list in November! Work: *explodes like a freaking super nova*

We are off to New Haven today, folks, to do some ##Sirens26 recon. Anyone have any questions we can get you answers to? Ask 'em here!

As someone who sometimes faints and doesn't like when people make a big deal about it... this is not what I mean 😬

Oh dang. I wonder if this is why I've stopped seeing some folks on here. Not cool. I'd rather block them myself.

Honestly delighted they're not going to rush something out just to have it out. 3+ years gives the animators and writers room to make an excellent sequel

I'm not even good at promoting my own work, which is why shouting about queer adult SFF has been a godsend. Also, y'know, queer books ♥️🤎💛💚💙💜

all right, big news time: ALL THREE OF MY PROJECTS EARNED OUT this is probably the first time in my life I've felt anything like success and accomplishment, and I'm blessedly too tired to have my eyes on what's next I wrote 1.8K about what I learned jowritesfantasy.me/2025/11/04/a...

GOOD. THINGS. ARE POSSIBLE. AND WE DON'T. HAVE. TO SETTLE.

Afternoon morale boost 💜

We've got an extremely small and local election today, which makes it even more vital to vote.

Hoorah! This book is out today!

Aahhh the sequel to THE WITCH ROADS is out today!! I don't often immediately pre-order the next book in a series because I am lame, but I did for this one because AAHHHH if you like luscious, ambulatory fantasy with big worlds and sexy hauntings and creepy corruptions, WELL

Seriously thought Dick Cheney was already dead 😅

Give me recs for SFF YA fiction with queer female MCs?

98% of the time the morning commute is slower by bike, but the other 2% of the time, the kids get to play "count how many stopped cars we've passed" while giggling madly

stop calling your heart's work "content"

Oops, my finger slipped and now I've opened a doc for the rewrite. I'm curious if this will be just as wild a ride as the initial draft 👀

4yo has enjoyed the entire series but he was absolutely stoked when Prince in Pink came out. It hurts my heart so much that anyone would think this book is harmful. Boys deserve to love pink, to be excited about parties, just as much as anything else.

Feral Flame will be out next week! It's showing up on BookShop already but I'll officially launch it on the 11th. www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

If I ever write fulltime, it'll be thanks to my wife still working. For now, we both win the bread with fulltime jobs; creating happens in the nooks and odd hours.

I have to laugh because otherwise I'd cry at how accurate this is. Thread.

I have a book dropping from @torbooks.bsky.social on Tuesday (The Nameless Land, the 2nd book of The Witch Roads duology, so if you're waiting for the entire story, it is here) THEN a near future sf novelette ("Barnacle") dropping on Wednesday at @reactorsff.bsky.social so brace yourselves, peeps.

Currently working on the rest of the year (July through December), so now's a good time to let me know about your queer adult SFF that's come out in 2025! And of course, if I missed you in the first half, let me know!

This came out last week and I somehow missed it!

Strength to all the parents whose kids are going to wake up no later than they usually do. 😅

Good riddance, DST

And I'd point out that the low turnout for 30-44 is probably because a larger proportion of that group has young kids which makes attending protests a little more difficult

Well I just completed a 74k WIP so I'm not doing NaNo, but what if I channel that energy to finish the 2025 queer sff list? 🤔

Well I *thought* I'd never read Interview with the Vampire but so much of it feels like deja vu, like I fever dreamed it once. Maybe I did read it? Or maybe it's just that pervasive in the pop culture consciousness.

The best way to "respond" to a bad take is not to mention the original take at all. It's to make a new statement that is actually true/that you want to magnify and share that instead. Its making a new story; building a stronger and more compelling narrative.

This is a large part of why I have reskeets turned off on my timeline.

The LGBTQIA+ affinity group meeting is todsy, 6-7pm EDT. Come hang with us!

I promise this isnt going to become a look-at-my-kitten account where I post mostly cat pics, but also Look at my halloween kitten 😭

Wearing an NCF shirt today because little is scarier than what the DeSantis did to a once academically stellar & queer-inclusive liberal arts college

Got paid today, so I made a donation to our local food bank. If you're in a spot to give, now is certainly a good time <3 And if you're not and need help - please please please reach out to your community.

Just finished reading DEAD & BREAKFAST by Kat Hillis and Rosiee Thor and if you want a cozy mystery with amateur gay vampire detectives to read during spooky season... or beyond... you certainly should check it out. Fair warning, though: the puns are to groan for.

Tyler Kyle's Erstwhile Adventures are absoLUTELY spooky season appropriate. Scary and funny and gay as FUCK. (then you can re-read it next July and be all cool and hipsterly on-timeline about it)

Me putting holds on library books: Ahahaha yes Me receiving all the holds at once: oh n o

😭😭😭

and Men's Health called Hammajang Luck one of the best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books of 2025 wow!!! and in such incredible company!!!

The cool thing about biking is I can see the expressions on the other cyclists and peds and know they don't want to see me dead. Drivers, on the other hand, are little more than a faceless metal box often truing to run me down. 🥲

Nova would like to know what you're writing 👀

Exciting news! I've been working all year on a vertigo arts project in collaboration with others in academia, physical therapy, puppetry, and dance. Now the first part is out: I'm running a creative writing workshop for people who are directly or indirectly affected by vertigo. >

Fuck DST
