#Silksong ✅ Possibly the most satisfying $20 I've spent on a political statement. I want every AAA studio exec who hurts devs & drives up prices to feel lousy today. I want them to rethink their life choices & make changes. I want to live in the world TeamCherry shows is possible. #EternalOptimist

Today 5:30 in Powderhouse Square: Emergency rally for Tufts PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk, illegally abducted by ICE

For writing an OpEd in the student newspaper? Wow. 😮 Federal Government Detains International Student at #Tufts The university was told that the student’s visa had been terminated, its president said in a late-night email to students & faculty members. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/u...

glad someone smarter than me connected the dots - my inclination was that there was no way it was an accident that Hegseth had this guy's number. Atlantic pushes out unhinged pro-US imperialist propaganda on the daily and somehow the internet collectively forgot that for like 24 hours

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. a horror novella in the tradition of “The Twilight Zone” and Stephen King **spooky, not scary** www.ilenegoldman.com/books #BookSky 💙📚

I'm sorry, WHAT?! A new piece of the Bayeux Embroidery has been found?! OMG!

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Hey y'all, If you are in need of fountain pen ink or accessories & want to support a small, minority AND woman-owned business... My friend, the owner of Smruti Pens, has had major health challenges lately and has been unable to attend pen shows, their primary income source. www.SmrutiPens.com

Started running consistently this year and just signed up to run a Charity 5k next month, something I literally never in my life thought I would do. 👁️👁️ I'm running for My Friend's Place which helps homeless youth in LA.

Hello, #BrusBookshop friends! Today’s word is: read

I've got a collection on the BSFA long list! historythatneverwas.com/2025/02/05/t...

Okay, pals. Time for action this month. We're going to do that by funding classrooms that are specifically seeking out Black history books. These classrooms are those that are in historically underfunded communities. These asks are from teachers whose students benefit directly.

return to me, at first sight, and autumn in new york all belong spiritually the the baboon heart genre, though their monkeys are largely unseen. baboon heart is an outlook, a point of view; we watch these movies through an ape’s eyes.

Had a discussion about how it feels useless to do anything about our local legislation taking up (another) trans bathroom bill. That's their goal. They want us to feel helpless and hopeless. They are trying to wear us down. Please pay attn to your local politics. Please stay involved.

For Halloween, a couple of flash fiction treats. (🧵) A ghost story, if you like spooky:

Happy Halloween! Here are some horror stories I've written: "Soulbirds" in Apparition Lit - winter birds, family, sacrifice apparitionlit.com/soulbirds/ "Goodbye, Sunshine" in Molotov Cocktail - mental asylum, possession, darkness themolotovcocktail.com/about/archiv...

My newest creation is a little crow bag. I designed and sewed her. Some people say that only marsupials should have pouches to carry around babies but she doesn't care what people think. She enjoys smelling flowers and dropping acorns on jerks.

As we approach Banned Books week, here's my annual reminder: If you're going to partake, buy and read banned books from *living* authors. The Bradbury and Vonnegut estates don't need your money, but Maia Kobabe probably does.

I will be at WorldCon in Glasgow next week! Cannot wait for all the terrific programming and to mingle with my fellow SFF writers, editors, translators, publishers, artists & fans. My panel: Writing Science into Your Sci-Fi for Young Readers Thursday, August 8 14:30 in Gala See you there!

I'm on a quest to read as many Adrian Tchaikovsky books as I can this year. I've read 16 so far. Here's my review of his latest: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Thank you to the anonymous gift giver who sent me a wonderful book of poetry I'd been eyeing. I really appreciate it! <333

Hey @authorizedmusings.bsky.social I just read LEARN TO HOWL in one setting and it was the most interesting werewolf book I've read since, I think, @lishmcbride.bsky.social's Necromancer books. I am very much looking forward to a sequel if one is coming.
