GOOD NEWS! Amivantamab has demonstrated unprecedented results in an international trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

Last night I watched "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die," and I'm still speechless. At no point did I have the first idea what was coming next. Holy crap, that was a ride.

This old tale inspired aspects of my novel The New Moon's Arms. In the versions I found, the children at first discarded the bean pods and attempted to eat the stems. They appeared surprised to find them inedible. boingboing.net/2026/05/29/t...

we have made...absolutely nothing. please help us eat. 💗

Someone follow up with book buyers at the big retailers (who shape a *lot* of what is seen) — Walmart, target, Barnes and noble, Amazon — ask the actual people who are buying books for their stores why they’re not pushing for more lgbtq+ stories bc buyers are immensely powerful in this conversation

I don't know if @chucktingle.bsky.social is going to read this, but when I woke up today, instead of languishing in bed depressed, I said to myself "Let's trot, buckaroos" and got up and now my kitchen is clean and I've done meal prep for the week and I feel like I should thank him. Thank you.

Today's "spam scam for writers" email purports to be from an agent asking if I am seeking representation. I know the actual agent in question, reasonably well actually, who very well knows I am not in the market for an agent. Remember, kids, agents are extremely unlikely to query YOU.

Oona, a next door neighbor dog, who'd peek from behind a shack, daring me to come get whatever she'd snatched. Oona is inspiration for the detective dog in THE REDEMPTION CENTER IS CLOSED ON SUNDAYS out May 26! Oona now lives in California. I miss her. But she's still running through my mind.

Hey y'all. I've just been informed by my publishers that THE FIST OF MEMORY is available on NetGalley so you can read this action-packed near-future first contact novel right now! 🙂📚🌌 www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

6/6. Final note that I have spent this time rebutting this assertion but I did not do so for any of all y'all to dogpile the person I'm responding to. He's incorrect but he's not being rude/obnoxious and even if he were you don't have to be. Never be an asshole on my behalf. Now, here's a cat.

1/6. No, this is wrong. Not about the fuck up - it was HUGE - but the nature of the Worldcon is that each one is its own organization. The Glasgow Worldcon addressed the Chengdu fuck-up head on and was a model of transparency and went a great way to restore the credibility of the award.
