This person gets me

October Country Ray Bradbury for @tomsbrown.bsky.social and any others who love this month.

Today’s #WriteAndFight tip: One of the many ways fight scenes are like sex scenes is the fact that, for some people, those scenes are always a skip. You can’t stop them. And you shouldn’t! Write the book you want and you’ll get the readers you want.

Hornytown Chutzpah started w/2 conceits: 1) What if a demon was framed for murder but it was impossible for demons to kill. 2) If the Devil vacationed in Washington D.C. & discovered humans were better at torturning humans than his own minions who'd be the worst of the lot? #satire #fantasy #noir

Just 15 hours left in the crowdfunder. Thank you so much. We're not there yet, but I am grateful. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

I think in order to be a kind and decent human being, you must self-reflect EVERY DAY. You must constantly be asking yourself: "Am I in the wrong about this? And if I am, then I should examine why and course correct." It's very clear a great many people do not self reflect at all. EVER.

Oh look, it’s my family trauma

a canceled streaming subscription is easily converted to several spec fic magazine subs on patreon and similar services, some are as low as 1-2 bucks. the more you know.

So it’s clearly time to restrict my BlueSky app access to an even smaller number of daily minutes. I’ve poked the app twice this morning to be drenched in cold horror.

Bruh

I forget where I first saw someone connect the dots between “men didn’t used to have so much ADHD” and “men used to be smoking cigarettes 24 hours a day indoors while chugging black coffee and having their secretaries organize all their work for them.”

Oof.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Went to ihop drunk at 4am and asked them to make the pancakes Evil. Maybe one of the best escapades I’ve Ever been on LMFAOOOOO

My dream goal with 7 days left on the crowdfunder would be to raise $500 today. Here are some rave reviews by @princejvstin.com & @skiffyandfanty.com www.nerds-feather.com/2025/09/book... skiffyandfanty.com/blog/review-... #camp #noir #fantasy, sly #satire www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

Oh no

Donna Tartt’s THE SECRET HISTORY. The characters are deeply broken, deeply intelligent, and also deeply stupid.

I hope that girl finds a comparable stick of her own.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

It's coming!!! I've been calling this one "Narnia in space" or "the rewilding story" -- THE FINAL CHRONICLE OF YENEH is part portal fantasy, part anti-capitalist anti-colonialist ecological sci-fi, and I'm SO excited that Horned Lark is helping put it out into the world!

I feel like WARPED STATE by @jomiles.bsky.social needs a shot here. The main character is an activist.

I’ve always said that toddlers know how to resist. Become floppy and embarrassing.

In re: the artbarf machine I’m seriously having a hard time not posting images of the French Revolution these days.

What gif pops up when you type your name?

I can't wait to read this book, from one of the members of my @viableparadise.bsky.social cohort!

I never understood why people didn’t want to show off their shoes in the early 2000s. I have a lot of Fluevogs and high-water pants.

My mother took me to see THE PRINCESS BRIDE in theaters (yes, I'm kinda old). She did not see the ROUS until it landed on Wesley. She screamed and threw our popcorn in the air. Our huge vat of popcorn.

Hey, if you're at or near the upcoming Worldcon in Seattle, don't forget I'm doing a performance reading the evening of Sunday the 17th; we had a pretty good first performance in Burlington last month and the second will be even better for that experience: www.scottlynchstore.com/events-1/the...

People keep telling me that I shouldn't be mad at @itch.io, just the payment processors. They are fundamentally misunderstanding why I was up until 4am reporting on this last night. Itch is withholding trans authors' incomes. If you stiff my girls, then yeah, we have a fucking problem.
