Good evening

It’s such a fun thing how every day social media brings me a new way to feel simultaneously both called out and not alone.

Fun for the whole family!

The human toddler may be the world’s most effective and efficient vehicle for spreading germs

We can read its name and a train goes there. It doesn’t matter if we don’t get off. We know the country is there, we have a further reason for living. - Marcel Proust

HAPPY SPREAD ME DAY TO THOSE WHO SPREAD

I know most of us will never even come close to being interviewed by Chotiner but, even so, I still feel like we all should make sure our friends will tie us to the last if we ever get that call

Super excited for tonight's virtual session with @maggietokudahall.bsky.social and the Friends of Minidoka for the Idaho Center for the Book's 2025 Great Reads! Register here: boisestate.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

I am also really excited for this. I hate that this book feels so relevant in this moment, but I am so grateful to the librarians of Idaho for choosing it and giving me (and the Friends of Minidoka) a chance to speak on it. Join us if you can!

Sometimes I get kind of down about humanity but then I think about the fact that we as a species also invented fried dough, and dumplings, and noodles, and I think, “You know what, maybe we’re not all bad.”

calling autism a “tragedy” and saying that there should be fewer autistic people are eugenicist talking points. Everyone who opposes such views also needs to recognize the ways in which everyday ableism left the door wide open for a person like RFK Jr.

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Good morning

Hello Midwest photo peoples! I’ll be teaching a 3-hour chemigram workshop at Aurora Photo Center in Indianapolis next month. Happy to answer questions if you have them. www.auroraphoto.org/alternative-...

I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment, in that I finished the book I was reading and I kinda want to start a new book, but I know that my preorder of Sarah Gailey's SPREAD ME will be arriving in less than a week.

The City of San Diego Environmental Service Department's hold music is pretty bouncy. Downright jaunty, tbh.

A queer nonbinary coming-of-age novel about basketball and obsession, full of both triumph and deep longing. Gorgeous, evocative prose that makes you feel the characters’ youth and passion, how they both soar and sink. bookshop.org/p/books/a-sh... #BookThoughts 📚💙

Combine this with the idea that “usually right and plausible when wrong” is actually quite a bit more dangerous than “usually wrong and obvious when wrong,” and it really leaves one with the conclusion that LLMs should not ever be used for anything important.

LLMs should never be used in any application where it is important that they be accurate. They are only appropriate for situations where it doesn't matter whether the task fails.

Tonight in DC!! ME, @haileypiperfights.bsky.social, and early copies of SPREAD ME will be at @loyaltybooks.bsky.social!! Don't miss it!!

And ICYMI and want to read it, I had this flash fiction out about space and time and other chances

Stone Soup Digest this week features information about my upcoming book tour, a couple of calls to action, and strong recommendations for books by @markdoesstuff.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social & @alixeharrow.bsky.social

I’ve seen a whole bunch of Silksong videos on TT and IG lately, which has had the funny effect of making me both want to play it and certain that I would not enjoy playing it.

Look. I'm not mad you bought a Kimmel picture book. But marginalized creators are getting banned and death threats and harassed all the time. It'd be neat to show them that wallet solidarity.

Ya boy just had his first negative test, day 12.

Tbh I think one of the keys to a good life is to love at least one thing with your whole heart, and if you can find something you love as much as darth loves potatoes, I think you’re doing great.

Happy National Cheeseburger Day to all who celebrate!

what the fuck is even happening anymore

Down another two and a half pounds since Monday. It’s almost like this disease is bad for you or something.

Currently on day 10 of my first bout with Covid. Today is my first full day after finishing my Paxlovid course. I got up and make some oatmeal for breakfast, which wore me out so bad I had to take a nap afterwards.

I listen to a lot of narrative podcasts but since I’ve been sick it’s been hard to stay awake while listening. So shows that are entertaining even if I drift in and out of consciousness have been clutch. My MaxFun mainstays—MBMBaM, The Greatest Generstion, and the Flop House—have been so clutch.
