The Hugos are finishing up their nominations, and if you are reading I’d be so honored if you would consider my short story, “Six People to Revise You”, from @uncannymagazine.bsky.social . It won first place in the Reader Poll and is a Nebula finalist! www.uncannymagazine.com/article/six-...

Living in a city where public transit provides free masks is pretty nice.

Had a movie night with friends that included an opening presentation of fun facts about the film, followed by Q&A where all the facts had to be completely made up. Highly recommend.

A very special call: Over our 20 (!) years we’ve published stories from all the continents of the world, except Antarctica. We want to remedy that. We’re looking for stories between 2000–6000 words from writers who are in, have recently been to, or have plans to visit Antarctica in the near future.

At this point I carry one around like I carry sunglasses

The beautiful preservstion of trilobite compound eyes will never cease to amaze me. On this little 400ish million year old Phacops you can see all the little lenses - each one a rigid calcite mineral crystal! Together they had excellent 360° vision, perfect for finding lunch on the seafloor.

Oh hey, I am once again going to talk about lack of distress tolerance, specifically for shame, and how it ties together AI, the “male loneliness epidemic,” Trumpism, and yes, people’s indignation that anyone might think they’re a bad person for continuing to buy Harry Potter merch.

Paul Atreides: what's in the box? Pinhead: *inhales*

Society privileges couples in so many ways, socially, economically, and legally. Least of which is the fact you cannot book a solo kayak trip through bioluminescent waters under a new moon as a single person. If I drown in the shimmering dark that is my business.

Someone left a review of my novel and said, "everything that happens in this book is upsetting" and that made me so happy.

Looking for an online #NoKings event bc in-person protests don't work for you? Sat 4:30 PST www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... I'll be reading a new satire at this one! Come join us!

Well I just got the OK so I am doing MY OWN DANG COVER REVEAL WICKHILLS has a cover now! Illustrated by Tom Roberts and designed by Russell Trakhtenberg! Which I copied and pasted so I would not make a typo! Anyway, BEHOLD! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Anyway today seems like a good day to remind myself that there have been very few times when I was like "Boom, that's the title, we're keeping that" and this is one of them. :D augursociety.org/the-youngest...

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

Hot take: No Kings is good and if you have the time and capacity, you should go to a protest on Saturday.

This is what Idi Amin’s government did to Ugandan Asians applying for passports in the period preceding the expulsion. Amin then argued that they deserved to be expelled because so few had taken up Ugandan citizenship.

Protecting women and girls my entire ass.

Tangentially, I'm disappointed that the DVD version doesn't include the "wrong" Demiurge script that ended up airing. That episode means something totally different now.

New friend said she always mixes up which thread is warp (vertical) and which is weft (horizontal), so I told her to just remember that warp goes up and down and weft goes weft to wight and if anybody else has made that joke before please don't tell me because I was SO pleased with myself 😤

And what really worries me is the number of debut authors who will be getting published without significant work being done, who will assume sloppy is acceptable, and who will melt the hell down the first time they come in contact with a proper edit.

In case you missed this AMAZING news yesterday, I am SO thrilled for @shvetathakrar.com, @kriswaldherr.bsky.social, @katwithsword.bsky.social, @aijiang.bsky.social and so, so many more! Such talented folks in this lineup!

I loved my guest editing stint for Small Wonders, and was delighted that they do things like that -- few venues experiment with inviting and onboarding community members for guest issues! I hope you support their subscription drive if you can! 🥰

If you entered a claim and didn't get an email with the subject "Your claim #XXXXXXXXXX has been received" from [email protected] with a claim number it might not have gone through.

Airports= practice for polling places Everyone knows this.

I wrote an article for Harper's Bazaar about what it's like for trans people in Kansas (spoiler: it's bad). Read, share, and send some love to your trans loved ones.

Comments are open on a proposed measure that would target trans women receiving estrogen. More voices opposing it are needed! transresilience.org/issues/fda-r...

for a long time the early placeholders in WoW were cubes with the face of then Senior Producer Shane Dabiri on them. these were simply known as "shane cubes"

Re last QT, this is a good example of "man up." Per his letters home Darwin had a lot of bad days and self-doubt and he did the work anyway.

One must imagine Darwin hating clover and hating bees.

That's not what man up means. This dude probably thinks market demand means "yell at the market."
