I have gone out to dinner in DC countless times over the past 20 years and not once has Fox News praised my bravery.

Who’s coming over to hang out and read? And what are you bringing to read? #booksky

I may be like the buzzing of flies to him, but there's no one else to whom I would rather be a buzzing fly.

MY FAVORITE COLOR IS GREEN. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

One time I bought a Newfoundland and named him Peeve just so I could say to people, “This is my biggest pet, Peeve.”

Heloise is ready to share the truth behind the myth (that she wrote) of the band of heroes who defeated the fearsome Dragonia & saved the village of Skendrick. Find out what really happened in Sean Gibson's THE PART ABOUT THE DRAGON WAS (MOSTLY) TRUE 🔗B2R zurl.co/Vc5p

I saw an owl in the wild yesterday. There's something sublime about seeing the unseen, spotting the hard to spot, noticing the unnoticeable. For a moment, you pierce the veil that obscures a wild and wondrous realm from the workaday world we sleepwalk through each day. There's magic everywhere.

"I'll update YOUR terms and policies!" he screamed at his inbox for what felt like the tenth time today.

This epic text from my dad just never gets old.

I used to think "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government" was just a funny quote, but now it's starting to look like a pretty attractive option.

So, like, do we think ALL of Hoggoth's hosts are hoary? Are there any younger ones to replace all the hoary ones when they get TOO hoary, and to become hoary themselves at some point? Comics never answer the important questions.

Yesterday, I defeated a group of 10-year-old girls in a push-up contest at my daughter's birthday party. I'm pretty sure that qualifies me to be Secretary of Defense in the current administration.

12 HOURS TO GO! You still have a chance to own a piece of history, which is really HER story, "her" being Heloise the Bard, the greatest storyteller of all time (in her humble opinion). Contribute to a great organization AND get a paperweight defaced with my illegible scrawl! WIN-WIN! #booksky

If you want your very own personally defaced hardcover of THE PART ABOUT THE DRAGON WAS (MOSTLY) TRUE, here's your chance! And you can contribute to a great cause! And there's lots of other stuff from amazing authors and book people! I've had too much coffee! #booksky

Hey, @delilahsdawson.bsky.social -- I just started Heir of Strahd and am loving it! There's only one problem--when I say the title in my head, it ends up sounding like "Erik Estrada," which makes the vibe 100% less spooky, albeit 47% handsomer.

2025 has been a hard year so far for Apex. In the interest of transparency, we want to share what happened, the current state of things, and how you can help. We're determined to keep publishing great stories for many years to come, and your support is what will make that possible. 🖤👽

What's your favorite major superhero #comics event? Both are products of the era in which I grew up reading comics, but mine are Infinity Gauntlet and Age of Apocalypse. I re-read them recently and was delighted that they both still held up for me.

I love getting emails confirming that I have unsubscribed from an email.

I can’t wait to dive into round 2, @jmdematteis.bsky.social and @spellboundcomics.bsky.social! Thank you for giving us another chapter for these fantastic books! #comics

Every morning I see majestic birds swooping through my neighborhood and I can't help but think, "Jesus, I'm glad my diet doesn't include worms."

Clearly no one is reading my work; they would feel differently if they did.

Call it a potion of heroism, if you will…I can’t wait to sample this libation from the good folks at @criticalrole.bsky.social! Maybe when I sip it, I will gain the voice abilities of @matthewmercer.bsky.social. That would help me perfect my Strahd accent for the next campaign.

It's a busy day for promoting amazing authors, it seems...looks like @hgparry.bsky.social is on Bluesky now! A FAR BETTER THING looks absolutely incredible, and, even better than the better thing, you've still got time to catch up on all of her previous fantastic books before it comes out! #booksky

Alix Harrow is to writing and storytelling as my children were to not being psyched about this picture several years ago. Which is to say, read everything she writes because it's brilliant and you'll be simultaneously enlightened and entertained. #booksky

Why is it that eyes aren't gross, but eyeballs are?

7 out of 10 podiatrist agree: Enchanted Tales & Twisted Lore won't cause bunions. Early reviews of this eclectic collection have been overwhelmingly positive despite it containing my absurd yarn about the time Robin Hood teamed up with Ebenezer Scrooge to kidnap the Goose Who Laid the Golden Eggs.

Going to DM for the first time in years and getting prepped to run this (blood) sucker…feel free to share any tips or suggestions if you’ve played or run it! #dnd

It's a bummer that we've hit the "nostalgic for Watergate" epoch of American history.

I'm not saying that reading P.G. Wodehouse solves all of the many, many problems going on right now. But it sure helps for a few minutes.

Wayback Wednesday: listen to funny writers (and me) talk about being funny in Science Fiction and Fantasy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUJP... Bonus: hear more about which actors would play us in the movie adaptation of the theatre adaptation of our lives. #booksky #sff #comedy

I needed to write about something that’s giving me hope, so I wrote about Independent Bookstore Day which is this Saturday. lithub.com/something-go...

Happy #worldbookday from the home library, my friends! May you forever find joy in stories—may they guide you in your darkest hour and make your very best days even brighter.

Heloise is ready to rewrite the story. The story she wrote about brave heroes who fought Dragonia and effortlessly saved the day! Or...something like that. Check out what really happened in Sean Gibson's THE PART ABOUT THE DRAGON WAS (MOSTLY) TRUE! 🔗B2R zurl.co/Vc5p

I had a joke about Iron Man, but it was too ironic.

If Spider-Man comics are to be believed, standard arrest protocol was a little different in the 70s. #comics

I've been at Davis Wright Tremaine for 15 years and never have I been prouder to be a part of the firm than I am today, being one of the few Biglaw firms to sign onto this brief.

Nick Rivers was Val Kilmer's greatest work.

And the (un)lucky winner is... @bookwormbunny.bsky.social! Congratulations on your brand new paperweight!
