Good: My broken laptop came back from warranty fixed today. Bad: They reinstalled Windows. Good: I get to spend New Year's Eve reinstalling/reconfiguring Linux

Not me realizing that an event that was free last year is $75 this year. I mean, I'm happy for them because they were legit the nicest people I've ever worked with and it's helping them advertise/get a bigger venue. But also...aww.

May you all outlive them to spite them in 2026

The best part of having writer friends is that you get to send them snippets of your upcoming work where you shouted out their work. The worst part is that they're genre savvy.

My end of year request for folks: So many of you have bought my books this year. I am so, so grateful for that. Please consider reviewing my books on Goodreads. It does help. A lot. KS: www.goodreads.com/book/show/22... WP: www.goodreads.com/book/show/19... Opus: www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

Protip: Build confidence in the New Year with easy resolutions like “not set yourself on fire” or “remember to put on pants” before tackling bigger goals like “move to Canada.”

@burytheriver.bsky.social Hi! Any chance you'd be willing (potentially) to have a repeat guest on your show, say if they have a new book out or something of the like?

I have a genuine question regarding fantasy stories. Do authors use the LGBTQIA words to talk about their characters' orientations and gender explicitly? For example, do they say "that dragon is gay"? Or is it expressed in other ways?

How about we finish off the year by announcing the release date of my next book? Of Bards and Quests and Falling In Love will be out September 2026!! www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

Im at $73/$170 if I can make like $97 in next two hours I could have my water back on today! Please please help!

Is this statement influenced by the fact that my local Hot Topic appears to have more than 50% of their staff who are trans/enby and I always feel welcome there while the Spencer’s was run by two middle aged white dudes with edgy tshirts and suspect tattoos? Probably

I went in a Spencer’s today for the first time since college and I finally understand their slogan Spencer’s: What if Hot Topic Sucked?

We weren't even taught that mlk and Helen Keller were involved in labor organizing Schools do everything they can to scrub our history of anything that might inspire us

2025 has been an incredibly hard year for trans people. And yet... the political project to erase us is failing. In spite of them having so many levers of power, many of us have continued to thrive, and new pathways open up every day to get around the attacks. My case for hope for 2026.

Do you have a praise kink? Or are you just a gifted kid who had a troubled sibling so you got far less attention from your parents for anything that wasn’t academic excellence, leading you to crave even the most minute forms of attention and validation?

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
