The same is true of “sorry, I was multitasking”.

This link should be in their bio. Think I’ll check it out. fanfiaddict.com/tbrcon2026/

Zendaya and her four-foot forearm around Lupita.

As I progress on my #writing journey, I’m starting to realize I’m not a true Plotter or a Pantser, but something closer to an archaeological writer. For my characters and premise and desired ending, what must have occurred to make this true? I feel like I’m uncovering the story, not creating it.

250 years in, England in 1316 was ruled by Edward II, an unpopular man accused of favoritism and self-interest. His favorites enriched themselves through proximity to the leader rather than through merit.

Here is my pitch for why you should go to Confluence, the Pittsburgh Science Fiction Convention, July 24-26: 1. Free Beer in the Con Suite 2. Pitch sessions with agents 3. Workshops with me! 4. Triangulation Launch Party! 5. Pierogi 6. Musical guests all weekend! confluence-sff.org

Am I the only one that gets annoyed by posts starting with “am I the only one…”?

Peanut butter. Blech.

Reimagining Skeletor as an embarrassed guy out for revenge against the He-Manosphere for convincing him to vote for the Leopards Eating Faces Party.

Will anybody get this?

I had just learned how to use—and type—em-dashes when LLMs happened, and so now I have anxiety about using them and must, I suppose, revert to my old habit of spreading commas, like Virginia Woolf sowing the fields, throughout long, long sentences.

Very much enjoying The Count of Monte Cristo on PBS this week. Never read the book, so I’m going in cold to the final episode tomorrow.

What’s a Jawa’s favorite food? Zucchini!

Read and enjoyed Multitude by @reasie.bsky.social - really curious what drove certain POV choices in the story!

The weird thing about binge watching the entire Poirot series is that Hastings, Japp, and Miss Lemon age about 15 years in the two weeks they’re off screen, and it’s only 1936-1938 in show time.

Actual fake polls. Making it up and calling it opinion. What are they thinking?

To the tune of West End Girls (1986, Pet Shop Boys)

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

Episode IX was a poor retelling of a good story. An unreliable narrator, given to hyperbole. Probably Threepio’s account. There’s storytelling potential in unearthing the truth.

We are bottom-dwellers in a protective ocean of air

Wolves that turn into dogs every full moon

Watched an adorable House Finch doing his courting dance on the deck railing. Wings down, tail up, look at my red throat! She goes for him, he jumps over her like Street Fighter, turn, and dance again. Small things to make you smile.

Ah, Spring. My second favorite season. The explosion of green, young bunnies frolicking, and colorful dinosaurs in the yard.

Keep going, #TeamSteg

Ah, Poirot season 7. Returning from retirement, marriages and business ventures abroad, reflecting on working together all these years. Wait, it’s *still* 1936?

Camp, kitsch, silly. Looks like a lot of fun. I’ll watch it.

I call these Rikerbirds, because their call sounds like the door chime in Star Trek: TNG. So, Rikersaur too.

No tyrants.

@sfwa.org Does my +1 to the Nebula Awards banquet also need to be an attendee or can I buy an extra banquet ticket only?

"Futility Defined" (c) constance lee menefee ... "a handful of hometown boys pressed deep into field muck leaving a fluid wake that nourished rice and fed the enemy."

"As is his right, he said no". Do these Senators realize they also have the power to say "actually, yes"?

Optimistic sci-fi gets misunderstood as soft. It isn’t. It means taking constraints seriously—physics, systems, human limits— and still finding a way forward.

Second Life c.2006 was better than this.

When I remember a previous dream in a dream, am I really remembering or am I dreaming that too?

Bonus action: drive west across a time zone the day after daylight savings. Increases confusion and fatigue +2

I know next to nothing about #geology but the enthusiasm of geologists is a wonderful thing.

Dogs with the straight line speed and numbers but the rabbit has the superior handling and acceleration. It’s a great match-up, Carl—who will win on this open terrain?

Iran from Spain is making him complain. The planes in Spain head mainly for Ukraine.

I don’t make the rules but at least this is the version with Zendaya’s routine too. I’d never seen that one, but seen Tom’s dozens of times.
