Mel King is my queen. That is all.

How did day one of resuming my bike commute go, you ask?

New books new books new books

Like, I get the sentiment, but I'm not a huge fan of seeing so many confederate flags in my timeline, y'all.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, so many folks come into my store and confidently tell me that people don’t read physical books anymore and I genuinely don’t know what to tell them.

The idea that reading “should be an escape” is profoundly disrespectful to actual teenagers. Reading can be about escape. Or not. Teenagers are no different from adults in this regard. For every young readers who craves escapism, there’s another who craves relevance.

*Taps sign*

Oh yeah definitely the one thing sci fi and fantasy has been missing is the male gaze

Guys! Guys! Guys! This Tessa Violet video is just freaking adorable. Oh. My. God. youtu.be/rDp4iNImEUA?...

Fucking hell. If you have Republican reps, call them and demand they manage upward: 25th NOW.

I spent the day working & watching the lunar flyby livestream with these two 🥹 #cats #catsofbluesky

New over here so introducing myself with some commentary on Artemis II!

What a beautiful moment.

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

Me: writing with moon flyby in background Also me: quietly sobbing when they name a crater Carroll

//raises hand// I’ve been thinking of this a lot.

Has anyone studied the psychic toll of years spent waking up to the unhinged rantings of a vicious madman who could kill us all — and then going about one’s day per usual?

Ari’s favorite sleeping position is a mood. #cats #catsofbluesky

1. I've written a few times about Mamdani and what he can do for trans people to uphold his promises. But there are disingenuous people who apparently do not read articles, so I figured I would lay out his power and what other trans journos want him to do here directly and what is in his power.

If you don’t stop in mid-sentence to check a thing and then three hours later you’ve learned the entire history of canned food but not finished the sentence, why even be a writer?!

Oh hey, so it turns out not being on IG as much = reading even MORE books in March than in Feb: 21! I have some things coming up that are going to slow my reading down so I’m gonna enjoy this while I can. #BookSky

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

Happy trans day of visibility! I'm grateful to get to work with some exceptional trans writers, and I always want to be helpful to trans writers finding their way in. If anyone has questions about traditional (SFFH) publishing while trans, drop them here, and I'll answer as best I can.

There is a reason I talk a lot about shows, games, and books I love and not about the ones I hate. Whether your feelings are broad or nuanced, best way not to get taken outta context is to avoid talking shit about stuff someone else bled for.

I keep wanting to say something about Weir but every time I do even more comes out that proves he doesn’t understand the genre he writes in 🤦🏻

This face 🥹 #Caturday

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing

Ooh, haven't gotten to bust this one out in a while, but yeah, summarizing the comment section of every Bridgerton post on Insta right now:

Well I just got the OK so I am doing MY OWN DANG COVER REVEAL WICKHILLS has a cover now! Illustrated by Tom Roberts and designed by Russell Trakhtenberg! Which I copied and pasted so I would not make a typo! Anyway, BEHOLD! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

I'm so sick and tired of seeing mentions of Her and Her shitty books all the time

Happy New Release Tuesday!!

Still on my IG detox but I did drop in to say hi to my friend Musa and wish his son Zain (just turned five!) a happy birthday. Zain’s mum was able to make him a cake from our donations. He says thank you! chuffed.org/project/mosa...

🧵As a Minnesotan, I'm trying to imagine ICE agents operating airport TSA lines, and I have some questions: Will they wear masks? Will they be allowed accessories? Because ICE agents love accessories like pointless tactical gear, patches for comic books and TV shows and the Third Reich

No editor I've ever worked with rewrites entire sections of prose. And besides, what normal writer doesn't read and agonize over every single minuscule change in their text?
