I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

My 2025 award eligibility post

I know it's really about control, but the way these evil monsters talk about banning books to save the children out of one side of their mouths, and downplay an actual pedophile out of the other is rage inducing

Oh wow So good

Excited to announce I have a new story coming out in Sunday Morning Transport in the middle of this month! If you haven’t already subscribed to this excellent short fiction magazine, you should really consider it: www.sundaymorningtransport.com

Or POSSIBLY "Ino's Hideaway," which popped up in The Sunday Morning Transport in September, because, hi, marine biology jokes that I suspect most people didn't see.... www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/inos-hidea...

I'm really proud of "Written on the Subway Walls" which came out in The Sunday Morning Transport. It's a love letter to my adopted hometown, urban art, and community as resistance to institutional oppression and violence. www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/written-on...

Yooo! Someone You Can Build A Nest In was picked as a Kindle Gold Box Deal! For today only, get it for just $4.99. A shapeshifting monster *accidentally* falls in love with the woman who's hunting her. We've all been there, right?

How they will rationalize this horror so they can keep their power is tomorrow’s aurora.

New story by @johnpmurphy.bsky.social in The Sunday Morning Transport: www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/excerpts-f... I enjoyed this so much. I won't spoil it for you by saying more, but just think about it: how can an autobiography be unauthorized?

Are you playing at conscription, Sean.

This is my work visibility post! I had one original story published in 2025 and I love it. It's "There Be Monsters" in Sunday Morning Transport. A big thanks to @franwilde.bsky.social and the team for publishing it. It's about mermaid murder thoughts! www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/there-be-m...

📚⚔️💙 311/365 Poems -- The Ghost Tide Chantey by Fran Wilde reactormag.com/the-ghost-ti...

Would anyone like to take part in a neat cover reveal on December 3rd? (Preferably US but will take UK people too)

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Hello, heist fans! This Sunday, Nov. 9, I’m teaching a virtual heist workshop! You can still register today, but you need to hurry! I’ve done a terrible job promoting it because of book tour brain - so! If you are interested in writing heists, head on over & grab a seat: www.eventbrite.com/e...

So, we don’t have a functioning government, just That Guy; the Speaker has never read a newspaper or seen anything; costs are skyrocketing; holiday travel is screwed; and That Other Guy is getting a trillion dollar payday, but it’s women who are ruining the workplace. Did I get that right.

Book review: A Philosophy of Thieves by Fran Wilde The cover of A Philosophy of Thieves by Fran Wilde, which features a masked female character leaping with style from an ornate window. I received this as an eARC via NetGalley. This is a delightful YA heist novel. Roosa Carnarvier (Vane) and her…

Imagine taking a Trillion dollar salary for running a company that can't profit without government subsidies, will never profit a Trillion dollars, all while others can't buy food.

Imagine taking a trillion dollar salary while others can’t buy food.

If you've got a Republican representing you, call them and tell them you blame them, and their party, for the shutdown.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

damn Ross maybe you should not Douthat

Ahhhhh I love it when Lynne reads my books. More silks. Check.

Awesome news about the glorious Iron Garden Sutra!

10% tariff on US airports! That will show ‘em ! My dude you are a one trick pony and your trick sucks.

Here's a post listing everything I had out this year, new fantasy, reprints, short fiction, TV show, etc: marthawells.dreamwidth.org/670572.html

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Great article in @pastemagazine.bsky.social featuring @franwilde.bsky.social and A PHILOSOPHY OF THIEVES! www.pastemagazine.com/books/fantas...

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

The latest, 11pm: —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG; & gain in House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win supreme court —ME vote-restricting measure loses —Krasner & Bragg win —JD's half-brother loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices + Dem are leading to flip so many local offices.

Haaaaaaaaappy BOOOOOOOOOOOK DAAAAAAAAAY dear @mikejungwroteabook.bsky.social and @marthabee.bsky.social haaaaaaaaaappy boooooooook daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooooooooooooooooooooooooo YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU

Delighted to learn (thx @jbarchivist.bsky.social !) that @pastemagazine.bsky.social caught The Canarviers in their latest article, along with 9 other must-reads! www.pastemagazine.com/books/fantas... @dianapho.bsky.social

Teen Vogue did some great journalism around immigration detention and enforcement. Sounds like corporate has now killed that off. The media landscape shrinks even further.

Hello from the Vermonter. Amtrak train is pointed in the right direction to get me to DC by 10pm and home soon after if all goes well! AMA!

Yesterday’s NH events at Toadstool & Stevens Memorial library were a great way to end this leg of the #philosophyofthieves tour - with many friends and an intergalactic cruffin heist! (IYKYK) so grateful for everyone who came out for the thieves! Have you caught your thieves? (Thank you!)

Fiction Standout #2: A Philosophy of Thieves by @franwilde.bsky.social. I thought it was going to be a heist story, but after a heist goes wrong, it turns into a completely different kind of story about people trying to find their way both as individuals and as a family.
