Instagram is wild to me. People just go around taking photos and videos every day? And editing them to post to social media? I’m not poo-pooing it, that’s just such a different way to interact with life to me. I take about a photo a month.

Morning jams!

Guess who found a $200 espresso maker for $20. 👀

Somehow I ended up with a story world based on the 90s anime Outlaw Star and a knockoff Cthulhu Mythos. o.O

I will be tweeting about this several times this weekend, so mute me now to escape the pitch! Just a dollar for an ebook - ebook for sale!!

“… so do you not have geese in Minnesota, or—“ Me: “look I don’t know why it’s Duck, Duck, Gray Duck it just is!”

This gif is very trans-coded. Pink, white, blue, cute and exhausted.

Im sick as heck and the only thing that can make me feel better is if everyone writes today. Drop your word counts here if you want to make me feel better. Drop a zero if you enjoy my misery and want me to know it.

Snoop Dogg legit has the most soothing voice.

Multi millionaire wants famously over worked and underpaid people to be replaced by AI for not making him enough profit

Can you believe it’s already 2021?

It’s here! My debut sci-fi/horror novel ABDUCTED is out from Dark Matter Ink & available wherever books are sold. Get your copy today before they’re all taken!

This sums up short story life.

Anyone know the royalty breakdown on kobo audiobooks? Audible is 14.95/credit and pays authors next to nothing. Kobo is 9.99/credit. I’ll bet they pay out more than audible though.

Or if you want anything custom. I guess I should have mentioned that too. Prices very reasonable.

Anyone need a cover? I'm doing some premades tonight for funsies. If you have a project that matches, or is a near match, drop me a DM.

I’m on a quest! An owl on the edge of hyrule field tasked me with finding the peak creation of humanity. The $1 frozen pizza.

I've just been emailed about a great opportunity.

I seem to be writing a collection of Weird/Cosmic Apocalypse stories. It wasn't intentional, but between "Those Perfect Materials" (@chmmagazine.bsky.social), "Where Only Death May Be Found" (on sub), and the 4.5k story I finished last night, it's a definite theme this year. it's cool. I can dig it.

2025 Bookshelf Checkup! I’ve been reading almost entirely digital and audio this year, so my 2025 shelf of print books read is pretty sparse. And almost all of these were rereads because I love them. :p

Movies pre-1999: Old movies, classics, before my time Movies on or after 1999: new releases, just came out, what do you mean 25th anniversary edition

Oh no. I just discovered the Dynamic Text option in photoshop. I'm going to be insufferable now.

I got bored and played around in photoshop. I wish I could say this came out to less than 50 individual layers but lolno.

This time last year I sat down with some pretty dark thoughts and a full novella gushed out of me in one giant bleed. Anyway, it's coming out via Tor Nightfire on May 12. You into infinite corridors, ancient hunger, isolation, cannibalism, self-loathing, etc.? Join me in the darkness next May.

As of August 15, A SPECTRE IS HAUNTING GREENTREE has been out for one year. And wow, what a year it's been. I've always seen this book as something of a black sheep in my catalog, but I wanted to take some time to reflect on it. /THREAD @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

Welp, this is concerning. It doesn’t say which book, but I’m going to guess it’s the first Murderbot.

Monday marketing! Buy my books!

Facilitated a little mother and child reunion this morning.

I requested my lifetime streaming data from Spotify, and my stats are a mess because of sleep sounds. But here’s my 2025 top artists for funsies. Guess I’ve really been into AWOLNATION this year.

I used to think everyone was the hero in their own story, but I'm pretty sure in the real world a lot of people know they are evil and are fine with that.

I've been procrastinating all morning, so it's time to do some sprints. It's 5:23am. First sprint ends at 6am. I'll see you then! 🦕

Republican (trying to sound macho): "I get instant diarrhea if I picture a city in my mind. I pee a little every time I look out my window. The thought of a child reading a novel makes me weep uncontrollably. If I can't control the people I want to control, I feel dread beyond human comprehension."

Naught but a leap to the left And thanne a clockwyse tread; Put thyne handes on thyne hippes, And be thy knees yn-gatheréd: Lo, it ys the pelvique thruste That maketh mirthe down to rayne - Let us do the Tyme Warpe agayne!

Trying to search “Bighoot” on DuckDuckGo and it automatically shows results for Bigfoot instead. No option to show results for Bighoot. This is Bighoot erasure. I just want to see giant owls.

I have not seen or read The Shining. I’ve seen one Friday the 13th movie by accident. I haven’t regularly watched movies or tv in 18 years, so whatever your holy necessity of horror is, I probably haven’t seen it. I read plenty, but not in a narrowly focused way. I’m still a horror author.

I definitely love posts about how every horror author needs to engage in the same foundational media or they are not worthy. We should all be exactly the same and pull from an identical well. Why would we even want different perspectives? Great take. Flawless.

If a comic book page focuses on a long back and forth conversation, it's commonly referred to as a "talking heads" page, EVEN THOUGH, VERY RARELY, do any of the characters discuss finding themselves A) living in a shotgun shack, B) in another part of the world, C) behind the wheel of a large automo

probably should have included a link really, lucky for me social media users are famous for checking out replies to hours old posts 🤷‍♂️ Subscriptions: wyrd-science.subsail.com/subscribe/ Single issues/tees/etc: shop.wyrd.science

Looking through old photos. I was a cute little dude.

I finished reading two books today. Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix and Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove. Enjoyed both immensely, though I feel OMAM fizzled a bit at the end. Still a great reading experience!

I'm rewarding myself for writing 1,000 words this morning. Installing Debian on my Chromebook so I can play.

This looks like it will be a beautiful book! An art piece + fiction!

I drink once every five years or so. Tonight was that night. Went to Brew at the Zoo and sampled about 16 different drinks. Had a great time with my wife and a friend. Feeling a little warm and silly. Time for bed. <3

Ten authors by whom I've read more than five books: This list mostly represents stuff I read as a teenager. Terry Brooks Robert Jordan Brandon Sanderson Terry Pratchett Piers Anthony Douglas Adams James SA Corey Nnedi Okorafor Grady Hendrix Martha Wells

My wife and I just found out about rentthechicken.com and now our life goal is to rent chickens.

A silly project today. My wife has a shelf of books she’s read this year (first photo). I do too! (Second photo). Mine is less impressive because I mostly read digital. So I’m making book tags to put on popsicle sticks so I can put them in a cup on my shelf. :p

Sometimes I wish I had a public place to share all the little 300-word story starters I write when I'm bored, because they are invariably the most bonkers thing I've ever written. No completed story attached. Just an excuse to do something silly.

Todays music theme is COLORS. I'm listening to my favorite music from bands with colors in their name, including The White Stripes, The Black Keys, The Blue Stones, and Blue October. It's a pretty awesome set.

If folks can keep boosting the signal of @rsagarcia.bsky.social's ongoing medical fundraiser in her cancer recovery so we can get her to 100 percent covered, that would be amazing. We're very close! She continues to need testing and other supports
