For #FossilFriday & in honor of @alinemghilardi.bsky.social & colleagues' fantastic discovery of a new Cretaceous pterosaur in Brazil in a dinosaur regurgitalite ("fossil vomit"), here's a diagram I made for my book 'Dinosaurs Without Bones' (2014) showing the physics of a puking brachiosaur. 🧪🦕🤮🪨

It’s the first day in weeeeeeks that I haven’t needed to extrovert, perform, or do external biddings. Reading this gorgeous chap (my little book of domestic anxieties by Elizabeth Sylvia | ballerini book press) in the breeze. Whispering expletives in admiration and recognition.

A favorite protest sculpture / sign at #NoKings Fresno. Zoom in to the fly attached by a wire. 😂 The event felt peaceful, kind, joyous, moving. Something is definitely shifting in favor of constitutional rights.

I may not take this one out today (I have more / too identifying) but it felt cathartic to make it. Fist bump to all the other Geminis who deserve a better birthday twin. #NoKings

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Proud of my nearby rangers. Right where everyone looks during firefall. NO to trashing national parks to set up plundering for lumber and oil. NO.

Your outie called her congressional representatives today.

Elon Musk starts interfering with staffing at Twitter, and the site dies. Elon Musk starts interfering with staffing at the FAA, and people die. Please keep him away from things that matter.

I’m knee-deep in fabulous small press poetry arcs (2025). Scouting for more.

Netgalley declined my heavy-breathing request for an arc of The Antidote. 😭 Jealousy and anticipation for March release.

My Icelandic publishers office is on the ground floor in a residential neighbourhood where there are a lot of house cats. And many, many of the cats who live in neighbouring houses "work" at my publishers during the day, i.e. sleep and eat at home but spend 8 hours at their office during the week. 🧵

From threads like this to wishing there was more review attention on small press books, then putting her energy where her wish was & making “100 Notable Small Press Books 2025” ( #100smallpress) exist. I'm reading & lovings Survival Tips rn. Can't wait for CLOSER & just preordered. You should too!

Stealth mode despite distinctive identifiers.

Best 2 things I did for my writing in 2024: 1) a planner for ONLY writing projects, tasks, events, revision passes, middle-of-night epiphanies. All other crappy to-do lists are not real during work hours.

Dogs in different languages: English - woof woof Russian - goff goff Multilingual friends, can you add more?

These are incredibly complicated and confusing times. Getting up to speed can be hard, especially after a lifetime being lied to about politics, so I put together an explainer for those looking to understand or get friends and family on the same page. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/what-the-h...
