I could NOT be more excited for a sequel. FRIENDS you have just enough time to order @boriscrito.bsky.social EG Condé's Sordidez from @stelliform.press. You won't be **ready for this greatness, but you can at least prepare.

You are GOING to want to go to this! @kristinaten.bsky.social is a genius storyteller and every story she writes is an absolute banger.

So proud of my brilliant wife Kadet, who after decades of being a first/only queer/woman game audio designer in so many places, is the audio lead of Civilization 7 so we can have queer/femme warriors like god intended. Awesome article in @asoundeffect.bsky.social www.asoundeffect.com/civilization...

"Drugs are not expensive because they're made of platinum or something." May we continue work towards a society that puts the care of its people and the place we live at the heart of its mission (because seriously WTF else is the priority).

Kristina Ten's @kristinaten.bsky.social's story BUNNY EARS in @nightmare-magazine.com is SUCH a banger. I can't remember the last time a horror story hit me on so many levels. LISTEN NOW! www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/bunn...

I am so excited to announce the news that some of my very favorite queer spec artists in the whole world will be performing at The STUD in SF for the launch of What A Fish Looks Like from @stelliform.press!!! I can't wait to share! SF Come through! Link in comment!

So many books I love so much on this list. Congratulations, @michaeldeluca.bsky.social and @olivasthewriter.bsky.social this news brought me so much joy today!

AHHHHHHH!!!!

I am about to announce a lineup that is going to be, ahem, OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Please save the date, SF Bay!

This is the framework I needed today, to love, to get out of bed, to fight, to be in this moment. Brilliant, necessary.

When you wake up to see your book held, and read, by one of your favorite writers working today, is there a bigger honor than that? (spoiler, there isn't).

Me again. I’m writing this 12 hours ago, so I’m hoping we’ve had some support come in for this single lifeline for 6 families and a displacement camp. I’d like to think we can do better than going more than a day without support, i.e. food, for them. chuffed.org/project/hope...

Writers With Drinks Is Back With Two Shows!!!! How I love this show!

OMG THIS GAME WRITING TEAM! This made me so happy! Massive congratulations, @nassos.bsky.social and others. WOOHOO!

One of my very favorite stories of all time, B. Pladek's Spindle of Necessity, is on this incredible list. I can't wait to read the others!

I love this project so much. Join me in backing!

Hello hi. I would like for this to exist. Will you join me in backing? www.kickstarter.com/projects/mer...

NOT A DRILL: Amplitudes: Stories of Queer And Trans Futurity is out today! I am so excited! You can get a sneak peak below. I am ALWAYS so excited for new stories by Ewen Ma and Meg Elison. BOOK. CLUBBBBB!!!!

Everything Hanif Abdurraqib writes enlarges the world in a million ways.

I could never articulate what my problem was with this model, and why I was so cranky about it down to my bones. This is a brilliant read, and where it lands had me almost standing on my desk cheering.

Toronto and GTA friends, @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social is having a @stelliform.press party this coming Sunday, May 25th. Come for a beautiful, eerie afternoon. I'm reading with @rebeccacampbell.bsky.social and @mahaila.bsky.social.

I saw someone say AI is useful because it generates ideas. My dude, I'm full of ideas. I have docs and docs marked under 'ideas.' I have outlines and fragments of stuff I might work on. Trunked stories galore. Even if I continue to write a novel a year for the next 40 years I won't run out of ideas.

This cover is so gorgeous! I love Rebecca CampbelI’s work so much. I can’t wait for this book!

The cover for THE OTHER SHORE, my short fiction collection, forthcoming in October from @stelliform.press. Kerry Pagdin's art is so familiar-- like the kinds of dreams I had as a kid reading (and re-reading) Watership Down. Which is, of course, the landscape of my heart, and these stories.

"She won’t get me to slough off my skin this easily." - joyfully screamed at the end of this sexy brilliant @ewenmaer.bsky.social story in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social this week. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/pale...

A playlist, but it's just the songs you sing to your cat. (Don't tell me it's just me).

Script: Oh hey, reps, just curious, what are YOU up to today?

It's TODAY!!! @stelliform.press just shared the cover of my book What A Fish Looks Like (Sept 4) and I can't get over the beauty of what @carlydraws.bsky.social did! The merx, the kelp filigree, AHHH!!! Preorder available! Link in comment!

Reviewers: send me your review of this for @reckoningmag.bsky.social

Is this the real life? Is it just fantasy? My DREAM publisher @stelliform.press is teasing my cover. I get to share it on THURSDAY!!! I have a pub date! I am so very excited!!!!

Cory Booker, winding down: "We need a greater love in this country a greater fight in this country a greater determination." And re: Strom Thurmond: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. The people are more powerful."

Cory Booker has been speaking for 24 hours and remains cogent, focused, and astute. A little punch-drunk and hoarse, but impressive as hell. "I'm not going to allow my inability to everything undermine my determination to do something."

Sen. @corybooker.com just hit the 24-hour mark!!! Only 19 minutes to go to beat the Senate filibuster record by Strom Thurmond.

Cory Booker's shoutout to schoolhouse rock! My entire heart.

Please keep giving to Crips for eSIMs for Gaza, this project keeps hope & love alive in these dire times. @sfdirewolf.bsky.social @thellpsx.bsky.social

What's your emergency deadline playlist go to? (Halp!)

On Friday, hundreds of transgender and queer New Yorkers and their allies gathered outside the Stonewall Inn to declare that a brazen act of historical revisionism from the Trump administration would not stand. Here's what I saw and heard over about 10 interviews: www.huffpost.com/entry/stonew...

Today, the kid-I-am-lucky-to-help-raise asked me, a theater queer, if I knew how many minutes there are in a year.

This article has been helping me. I'm Canadian but similar things are happening here and I do feel directionless. I think aboveall, making connections in your community, however small, helps a lot. Little things like info sharing + checking in do help to bring people together, care for each other.

This conversation on The Future of Dystopian Sci Fi at @tbrcon.bsky.social made me feel surprisingly hopeful, and was such a joy. You can find it and other TBR Con talks (a treasure trove)! Here! These moments i am so proud to be at @stelliform.press! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cy0...

If the firehose of doom is knocking you down, today, try doing: 1 thing to improve your own comfort/happiness (let yourself have something good) 1 thing to improve your immediate environment (clear your space a little) 1 thing to support your community (donate, support, amplify, speak out)

Today, sending love to all my US-Ian friends who are out on the streets. May you feel lifted in our collective strength. And after that, come to @tbrcon.bsky.social with me! Tomorrow am, I will be exploring the potential and potentialities of dystopian sci fi. I'm so excited for this conversation!
