Today's the day! 🎉

New story out on @talltaletv.bsky.social - "Upload in Progress" explores the complicated feelings that come from being able to upload yourself to the cloud. talltaletv.com/upload-in-pr...

In absolutely iconic timing, I received Common Bonds 2's final proof on Valentine's Day. What a gorgeous book we have put together. 🧡💚

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

The satisfaction of making a thing, even if it's janky, comes from actually making the thing. It's especially potent when you overcome some kind of limitation or barrier in order to make the thing. That shit is catnip to a certain kind of person. 3/11

Very excited to have a story in this upcoming anthology from @inkedingraypress.bsky.social (because not everything I write is depressing *all* the time)! inkedingray.com/announcing-h...

Super excited to announce that I'll have a story, "The Husband Stitch", in this anthology! I can't wait to read all the other stories!

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

Dera likes two things: solving technical puzzles, and being left alone. When a ship with mysterious errors comes to them for repairs, they end up with a bigger puzzle than they ever imagined solving—one that forces them into the center of a galaxy-spanning conflict. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

What started as an investigation into one mysterious artifact lost in space turns into a hunt for a set of keys unlocking galaxy-changing technology. As the greedy Onyx Group joins the hunt, Dera discovers the terrifying reason the tech was hidden away to begin with. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

The fungal implants Dera and Karsten Station’s other technicians have give them unmatched repair skills, but also make them outcasts. When Dera gets caught in a conflict that threatens the station, they have to decide if a home that rejects them is one worth saving. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

Technician Dera is sick of being stared at for the implants that help them do their job. When they meet a ship captain who treats them with kindness instead, they jump at the chance to travel with her, only to discover too late her motives were not what they seemed. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

Karsten Station has stayed independent of the ever-expanding Onyx Group for years, growing fungal cores that power FTL ships. But when Karsten technician Dera finds an artifact that both groups claim, their home gets caught in a power struggle that could destroy it. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

We're aware the hashtag searching is down right now. We have reports it does work if you redownload the app, but is still buggy on desktop. We've contacted bluesky and will update soon #dvpit

What starts out as a simple investigation into one lost ship spirals into more than Dera bargained for: a scavenger hunt for artifacts holding ancient tech, a rescue from an all-consuming corporation, and a conflict that endangers the station that is Dera’s home. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

I've got a story, Unforgettable, in Volume 4 - LIMBO - of @clubchicxulub.bsky.social that I'm super excited to see published! clubchicxulub.com/club-chicxul...

A refreshing and affirming article for me this morning UK time. Do read it. With thanks to @scottlynch78.bsky.social whose repost put it into my skyline. Let's remember to share the good stuff in these dark days

In case you missed it in the comments:

My short story, Mismatch, is now available to read, published by @stateofmatter.bsky.social! stateofmatter.in/fiction/mism...

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Pride is all about inclusion… but any event without masking is not inclusive of disabled and chronically ill people. Mask up for Pride! Make it fun! Get a mask chain or colourful stickers. Now more than ever we must protect one another, and masking is community care.

I'm looking for a new challenge! If you're hiring for an experienced (Staff/Principal) engineer or engineering leader to help you build and grow interesting production infrastructure, let's talk: my DMs are open. Remote-friendly roles are most likely to work! RTs appreciated.

Even more fun than deleting twoots is going through my password manager and deleting unneeded accounts. Some websites are nice and have handy "delete my account" buttons. Many... do not. The number of completely unnecessary hoops I've jumped through as part of this project is too damn high.

Going back through and deleting all my tweets from the birdsite is a weird little bit of personal archaeology. Like, oh, look at all those things I used to do back before my primary hobby became "managing a chronic illness"

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.

If anyone happens to need it this week for...reasons...this is the best graphic on the complexity of human sex determination I've ever seen. I use it in an undergrad course on gene regulatory mechanisms. Shoutout to @unamandita.bsky.social! www.scientificamerican.com/article/beyo...

This whole 🧵 is 🔥 And if you wonder how we got here, re: Covid disinformation, this article from @juliadoubleday.bsky.social is a good place to consider and reflect on. www.thegauntlet.news/p/how-the-pr...

I appreciate liberals suddenly caring about disinformation again, but those of us that've been tending this home fire for the past four years are gonna need y'all to recognize the covid disinformation you need to undo in your own mind if you want to stand in solidarity with disabled people.
