Today is one of the most important days of my career. I am publishing my debut novel this September. A Broken Heart of Blackened Stone is the first book in the Pirate Queen Chronicles, a trilogy about a shapeshifting princess who runs from grief but lands on the wrong side of the law.

Happy Mother’s Day

The greatest news I could wake up to

Weird how so many maps of the US look so similar even though they are mapping different metrics like where the data centers are or where it's too hot or where voting rights are stripped or where gerrymandering is rampant or where Black people live bsky.app/profile/crim...

removing this guy from his position is the single most important errand facing American politics at present. the amount of damage he's doing is almost incalculable.

Happy Cartoonist's Day!! With thanks to @extrafabulous.bsky.social for this comic.

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude.

generative AI has no place in our schools. It is documented as contributing to cognitive decline, this is just propping up a techbro pyramid scheme with taxpayer money.

As a kid I always loved the idea that Death comes to everyone in a different form to comfort us. It could be a dead loved one, a mentor, a favorite celebrity, but for writers what if it was our main character?

Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

“We just wanted to confirm that all Moleskine notebook covers are created by our designers, while AI was used to enhance the background of these images. We hope The Lord of the Rings inspires you!” Oh, sod off, Moleskine. Tolkien would have despised this and so do I.

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

Council Member Chi Ossé was just arrested while defending his constituent, Carmella Charrington, from eviction. This is the result of deed theft and the ongoing displacement of Black homeowners in Bed-Stuy.
