Chooseomatic Books fans: I miiiiiiight be back on my bullshit :)

got a much needed long laugh from this

This reminds me of my plan to market "Swiss Mister," which was manly hot cocoa mix sold in a container that looked like a can of motor oil

ME: the opposite of antibiotic is unclebiotic PHARMACIST: the opposite of probiotic is amateurbiotic *we kiss*

Ways to tell that scam email isn't really from an editor at Penguin Random House: 1) It's a long, glowing, AI-regurgitated synopsis of your book followed by gibberish-level corporate speak 2) Actual editors PROBABLY won't email you from "[email protected]"?

Actually pretty reasonable aspirations for the guy who created the cybertruck, the only passenger vehicle in history LESS COOL THAN A MINIVAN

Awww, thanks, man! I also love the way they turned out, and now I'm glad I put off doing the T-shirt art until the last possible minute (thanks ADHD!)

My favorite tea shop was broken into very early this AM, and suffered property damage and theft. If you wanna support them in their recovery, one of my faves from them is this super dessert tea. They also do custom blends, have a book club and much more! www.fridaytea.com/products/wit...

@edzitron.com is doing some unflinching and granular reporting about the insanity of the AI bubble -- if you're as pissed off at AI as he is (and I am), I can't recommend his newsletter enough. www.wheresyoured.at/the-beginnin...

Somebody brought me a copy of the Arabella Grimsbro hardcover to sign, and also had me sign this t-shirt, I tried to channel Arabella the best I could

ECCC day 2! Find me at the Broken Eye Books table, #25009, tucked away near this random penguin house

Emerald City Comic Con this week, find me at the Broken Eye Books table, 25009 on level 3 of the Summit building. I've got 15 copies of the new Spellmonkeys hardcover and exactly two of the paperback, so if you want one come early.

Just a heads up, Tavern Rats is currently two bucks off in the Kindle store, $2.99, grab it while it's hot amzn.to/4rI8Ing

Being trans is a joy and a gift! Some folks are trying to take away that joy! We will not let them! We will become even more trans and more joyful as time goes on!

We have the chance this year to not only take back the House (or if we're dreaming, even the Senate), but to primary the hell of a lot of D losers and shift the party significantly to the left. We have the chance to lean on ALL of our reps to actually do something.

Launching a big ad push for Spellmonkeys, but the AMZ sales page is crying out for reviews. How well this goes will literally decide whether I continue the series (which I want to REAL BAD). So if you want more of Frinzil and her friends, please go drop a quick review on Amazon! bit.ly/4qkvMqG

Hey party people: Come find me at Orcacon at the SeaTac Doubletree by the airport this weekend! It's a super chill, mega inclusive tabletop gaming con, and it will be THE MOST FUN so hopefully I'll see you all there (I'm at C07, in pretty much geometric center of the merchant hall) www.orcacon.org

abolish ice is the moderate position to be honest. whichever candidate promises to nuremberg the ice agents has my vote at this point

Xmas-celebrating Bluesky: How are y'all getting rid of your trees? Because I'm hacking off every single branch with a bread knife so they'll fit in my apartment building's compost bin and that's insane, right? Like, not my normal ADHD/anxiety neurodivergent stuff but old-school Arkham Asylum shit?

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

Did you know that you can creme brulee a pumpkin pie BECAUSE YOU FUCKING CAN

He’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming youtu.be/sbRom1Rz8OA?...

Made the mistake of saying "let's get down to business" when I started making buttons to give away at Orycon this weekend and now I have the entire fucking Mulan soundtrack stuck in my head so that's how my day is going orycontemp.tezhme.net

I made this lil guy for Orycon, DO NOT FEAR HIM. And come party with us in Portland October 17-19 - it's the last Orycon ever, so we have to make it count! orycontemp.tezhme.net

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

Portland pals! See you at Rose City Comic Con this weekend in Artist Alley, table G28. The books I ordered for the show DID NOT SHOW UP IN TIME, so if you want to grab anything, come early -- Im'a sell out of a bunch of stuff. rosecitycomiccon.com

OH ALSO, I'm reading from the new book today at 3:30 in room 428, so if you finished Tavern Rats back when it came out and have been waiting to find out what happens to Frinzil and her friends YOUR TIME IS NOW (or, technically today at 3:30 I guess) #Worldcon2025

Had maybe the most fun I've ever had on a panel yesterday at #Worldcon2025 - How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse for Teens. The kids were super engaged and we had a blast. Plus my kid sat in on a panel for the first time ever! Highlight of the con so far, but it's only Saturday so BRING IT WORLDCON

It me!

Tossed a piece of steamed broccoli at this seagull, which It had no interest in whatsoever, and now it's chilling on the hood of my car giving me the stink eye

It's really, really real

This one took some doing, I’m not gonna lie. But it is currently my favorite thing I’ve ever written, so if you’ve been waiting to read the rest of Frinzil’s story, I’m confident that I did you right. www.amazon.com/Dungeon-Dogs...

Proofreading the new book, and found a typo in my own name on the copyright page. ...Where it was copy-pasted from the old book, which has apparently said "cover design by Matt Youngmak" in print for three solid years.

Puyallup pals! I'm at Summercon RIGHT NOW at the Puyalup fairgrounds. Booth D03 in artist alley! In the Pavilion! (There's a statue of a really messed up lookin ninja turtle hawking pizza nearby). Come at me, bros

Hey, my Got Any Yachts thing is a t-shirt now and it's briefly on sale at threadless for $13, that is all, send bleet youngmark.threadless.com/designs/got-...

Phila-selfie-a

Philadelphia fans! (Do I have any fans in Philadelphia? GUESS WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT) I'm at the convention center and all set up for FanExpo, so bring it! Also, I've been told that the flash flood warning I got on my phone like an hour and a half ago DON’T MEAN SHIT IN PHILLY, so it is go time

Heading down to the tesla dealership you guys should we finally test drive that cybertruck we been lookin at

The 12 pack of store brand seltzer water i bought came with a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. How many people could possibly be taking them up on this, the only way it could fail to meet my expectations is by not being carbonated or having a flavor

We are delighted to announce a new Six-Week Workshop scholarship for Trans writers. The Sea Star Scholarship, an annual full-tuition scholarship for the Six-Week Workshop, has been offered by an anonymous donor and will be available for the first time this year.

Hey, if you're in Seattle and just got a ballot in the mail, please please PLEASE vote, specifically for prop 1a. It taxes the biggest businesses to put some real money toward fixing the homeless epidemic, while 2b was created only to prevent that from happening.

All right, what’s your #comicsdna? The comics and books that were formative to you. At least four, more if you’re nasty.

Bought this mug for myself at Ross today for four dollars because I'M WORTH IT

Sweatpants are an indoor/outdoor pyjama

Hey readers if you get my books from the library….THANK YOU! Libraries are wonderful! Authors do get paid when our books are in libraries and it’s a way to get our books in the hands of readers who might not have picked it up otherwise. Thank you for using the library, keep it up! Libraries rock!!!

Seattle pals! There's a special election on Feb 11 (my kid's 10th birthday, somehow) to fund the public housing initiative we already voted for. Here's a good article on it, and why we should vote for option 1a (as in AWWWYISSS), and not 1b (as in BOOOOOO). www.theurbanist.org/2024/12/12/t...

Articles like this are so dumb -- let's drill down and find the most sympathetic person possible who will have to pay, and pretend we're mad about that instead of the policy itself! Like, grieving families with a $10,000 funeral bill will now have a $10,009 funeral bill. It's an outrage!

Oftentimes when I'm pouring milk into cereal or whatever I think that if I were a famous stand-up comedian and also gay I would call my Netflix special Homo Genius. If any famous gay stand-up comedians are reading this you can use that for free.
