Having a functional garage again is just such a pleasurable thing. I dislike street parking and it irked me to do it. Rolling up to the garage and tapping "open" this morning was lovely. So yeah, my day can't get much better. Well if someone would come take the downed tree wood, that'd be nice.

Time to clear the dashboard and start tracking anew. Always a little bittersweet since So many charts and graphs go to zero. But also nice because, clean slate. #writerslife #writer

'We have Engaged The Borg' was one of my favorite reads last year. This is such a great addition. #startrek

Ok. Tapped out. Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow was boring as fuck. Got 46% through and yeah. Literary Fiction (I assume that's what we called this) just isn't my jam. It's boring. I love slice of life mixed in with stories. When it IS the story though.. #reading

How cool, and what a bummer we gave up so much for cars. boulderreportinglab.org/2025/... #denver #boulder

According to the new rules, if you and a few friends go to a defense contractor’s testing facility and you say “where are the missiles” and they don’t let you in then all federal funds for defense contractors will be frozen

megasale.yrliu.com/ This was the r/fantasy sale this year. Gotta love that fantasy readers are so much more open to reading indie books than the SF subs that routinely shun indie works in favor of reading DUNE for the 93rd time or Andy Weir for the 32nd. #reading#reading

Good morning, kids. Be safe out there. 🥰

My Hardcover.app wrapped for last year. you can click the edge to advance if you don't want to wait. hardcover.app/@Jwilker/wrappe... #reading #booksky

Stayed up late (But still in bed long before the year rolled over) to finish Stranger Things. Endings suck. They're hard to do. Harder to do well. This one was as good as I coulda hoped for. Bittersweet, gave everyone a nice "what's next" glimpse. I think they stuck the landing. #strangerthings

President Trump's claims that Colorado's elections are rigged force Republicans like Rep Gabe Evans into a tough choice:   1) Embrace the false claim and alienate swing voters 2) Reject the false claim and anger Trump/MAGA base 3) Avoid any media outlet/forum that will ask

Holly’s friend looks like a 40 year old realtor and it keeps messing with me. #Strangerthings

No way Drumpf would EVER understand this.

GOP Rep Lauren Boebert is OK with Trump punishing Colorado over immigration, climate research, or Tina Peters. Just not her district's project. "These are people who overwhelmingly voted for President Trump," Boebert told me. "These are not the people who should be attacked"

Not really a resolution person. I haven't made one since maybe highschool, which is also the last time I stayed up for midnight, LOL. That said. the closes I'm getting to a resolution this year is that I'm refocusing on encouraging readers to buy direct from authors. Myself included. #reading

Happy new year. May 2026 be filled with UBI, the eradication of billionaire wealth and power, death to AI, and a surge in socialists achieving positions in governments.

Dang, snuck up on me. Thought my pen was just crapping out, but turns out, it was empty. I didn't think it'd been enough time, but realized this was my 3rd notebook. New refills ordered direct from maker. #EDC #NotAmazon

It wasn’t just the Republican district attorney who supported the prosecution of Peters, all 3 GOP Mesa County (Co.) Commissioners at the time supported the prosecution. In August 2024, Peters was convicted of 7 charges, including four felonies. 1/3

1/ Tina Peters is in prison for criminally breaching election security, not for exposing fraud. No court, audit, or investigation found widespread voter fraud in Colorado. Mail-in voting in Colorado has existed for years, is used by voters across parties, and has been upheld by courts.

Might win the award for most ominous error message. Trying to renew my driver license online and got this. Called and she was like, "well you may have an outstanding fine from out of state or it's a glitch." "You're in luck. It's a glitch, but you still have to go into the local office" yay me

President Trump promised punishment for Colorado. And delivered. Relocating Space Command Denying disaster funding for wildfires and floods Planning to dismantle NCAR DOJ investigation of Colorado's prisons Vetoing a clean drinking water project 👇👇👇

I do think it’s unfair for all of us to be finding out when not even half the country really wanted to fuck around.

Let's hear from you writers, tell us a little bit about yourself, what projects you've on the go, what you've written, any events in the near future, or just drop your bio and links and follow and support each other #WritersLiftWednesday #Writers #Authors #WritersLift #BookSky 💙📚 alt text please

Finally making the time to clean up my books on Hardcover.app. Been on my to do list for a while. hardcover.app/series/space-ro... If you haven't decided where to go after leaving Goodreads, check out hardcover. I really like it. #books #r#books

Electricians will be back tomorrow. The garage end of the steel cable was sheered right off. Didn't notice until today that the end on the house was frayed down to one strand. They're picking up a new cable in the morning. Plus side. Hot water heater is in and working.

I will never be able to forgive South African born Elon Musk for the damage he & DOGE did to our government. He is clearly a racist elitist who does not care about less fortunate people. I will therefore never buy a Tesla or any other product from a Musk company. Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

NEW: President Trump's first veto of his second term kills a unanimous bill to fund a major drinking water project in Colorado. Trump had threatened punishment for Colorado for imprisoning his ally Tina Peters. www.9news.com/article/news...

In October, Flock announced always-listening microphones. After EFF exposed the danger, they quietly rebranded "screaming" as "distress." In 2026, we'll keep exposing these abuses & fighting for constitutional protections. eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Watched 'The War Between the Sea and the Land' and oof. Lotta heavy handed metaphors and the end was felt like "Shit, I thought we had 8 episodes! Just 6? Fuck!" #TV

He did this himself. Got under, didn't like it, bucked around a bit while twisting in the air. Did that again and then, satisfaction. #dogs

People would change careers, go to school, recover from illness and burnout, move to different places. Because UBI would alter all manner of exploitative power relationships, *everything* would suddenly shift toward greater wellbeing, justice, safety, more. Anyway there's my dream. UBI. That's it.

Always something. Plumbers got the HPWH installed. Looks good. When they powered up the circuit. Something popped in the new outlet. Thankfully the cut off was on,no damage to the water heater, now Elephant Energy is scrambling to get electricians back today to troubleshoot/fix #homeimprovement

Posted my weekly "what Am I Reading" over on my Patreon. Finished a short Scifi book, and 1/3 through something a bit outside my typical fiction taste, plus Grace Jones still going strong. www.patreon.com/posts/what-am... #booksky #books #reading

Wallace brought "Little Wallace" into his bed in my office. All day today I'd glance over think he was staring at me. #dogs

Good news for the oligarchs, if they leave right now, the planet is there for the taking 😏😆

Love to hear my friend @saurik.com mentioned (7:05). This is a great (no surprise) talk from @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy "A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet" media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-pos...

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

Clearly no one there is a Sonos customer. They've been, uh.. not doing great the last year or two with app fails, instability, etc. But good luck tech bros.

The newest entry in the collection of tech bros who read famous SF/F novels and took away the exact opposite of what the authors intended.

A gem from the "old internet” youtube.com/watch?v=0sHCQWjTrJ8 It's really easy to worldbuild, outline, plot/plan. You get to feel accomplished without actually doing anything. If you never release you never get judged, your idea is always “perfect and forthcoming" vs. released and real.

You’re right, that is unpopular. And selfish. And greedy. And let’s so fucking for real - JKR was NEVER an indie author.

I'm here.
