Really glad to see Team Bona standing up for human authors *and* making sure that others can benefit from what they've learned here—and I'm as excited as ever to be able to share "Attack of the 50-Foot Faggot!" with everyone when Wrath Month finally smashes through your window later this year!

My partner and I are still fundraising to help cover the costs of their gender affirming surgery next month! We're nearly halfway to our goal and extremely grateful to all the support we've received so far!

this is my official contribution to the discourse the other week about whether or not authors should use unfamiliar words in stories 🥰

I've got a new story coming out in Adventitious next month... and I can't wait for you to taste it 👀

A market which shall remain nameless rejected a story set in fantasy Appalachia and told me they would have accepted it but that it had "too much dialect." There was, like, maybe one "ain't" in the whole story? And one time calling a valley a holler and that was basically it for "dialect."

okay so maybe keeping this story to only 2,000 words was overly ambitious 🫠

Today, on this last day of pride, tell a trans person you love them & you will fight for them tooth & nail. Trans people deserve every right that cis people have access to, & every time we open another exception in the margins we harm them. Inclusion means for everyone. Show up for trans people.

Happy Pride!!!

if you saw me wrestling with bluesky over trying to upload a single image just now, no you didn't

DO THE STANKY LEGGGGGG

Feels so good.

I love a parade! #SoundTheSiren

We should study how complaining to a friend that I have no idea what to do with a story is almost always the best cure for having no idea what to do with a story

OMG that was so fun at Lenovo. Felt like I got to go to a game for $10. It was so loud! #LetsGoCanes #Soundthesiren

LET'S GO CANES #SoundTheSiren

COMEBACK COMPLETE ✅ The Canes scored three in the third and the overtime winner to take Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.

This story is gonna sucker punch you in the mouth and you're gonna thank it just for noticing you. Go read it!!!!

HOLY SHIT CANES

Happy Pride to queer authors.

But please understand--unless you make yourself vulnerable, unless you expose the parts of your heart that hurt and yearn and /fail/, you are also protecting yourself from connection. You are also protecting yourself from being understood, and loved. Make art that's True. Even if you fail. 💚

“This is a hockey city” PREACH JARVY!

The Carolina Hurricanes are the first team in #NHL history to reach the Stanley Cup Final with only one loss (12-1) in the first three rounds. Since 1987 with playoff expansion four rounds x seven games: 2026 #SoundTheSiren 12-1 2012 #LAKings 12-2 1988 #Oilers 12-2 Machine.

CANES WIN #SoundTheSiren #RaiseUp

CACKLING every time I hear the olé chants in Lenovo watching this game #SoundTheSiren #RaiseUp

“It’s better to have no comma between these phrases” Microsoft Word, I shall ne’er remove the Oxford comma, even upon pain of death.

Gretzky just asked if Montreal had hit a wall with all the hockey they've played. Oh they hit a wall... That wall is the Carolina Hurricanes.

DOG WALK THEM #SoundTheSiren

This issue has a story in it that made me spend a full hour just staring at the wall after the first time I read it in the slush pile, and if you don't go experience that too, I will take it as a personal affront. No pressure though

Sure, why not! 1 like = 1 line from a WIP!

I got to announce my first home Eastern Conference Finals win. #SoundTheSiren

Sometimes being a writer is like, oh let me research what it was like to use a loom as a 1st century roman woman, ok, done with that scene, now switching gears for this other story, google, find me waffle house menus from 1974

Affirmations for artists: little imperfections lend a work personality, and are a sign it was made by a person rather than a machine.

Because you don't read enough LeGuin.
