Ted Chiang for the New Yorker in 2024. Missed this until it started making rounds again this week. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Bring back maximalist-to-the-point-of-gaudiness illustrated fantasy covers. They unironically fuck so hard.

Only one month left before the next Nerezia novella! We're nearing the end of Disc 1, the first stretch of my epic episodic series <3 The Wagon Crew has reached the mystical forest of Aliyah's dream, and it's full of the CUTEST creatures. And Archivists......... buy.bookfunnel.com/gr50s6cb7y

Looking forward to chipping in $5 for democrats to pretty please ask trump to stop ending the world

I cannot quite explain how a raccoon-based dnd one shot ended up including my MC as an accidental communist leading a truck liberation movement, but I assure you it did.

I was away all weekend and now we are both very eepy

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

I kind of hate it when rich people have dyed hair. Get out of here if you’ve never dyed your hands and your ears and your entire bathroom doing your own hair with a questionable box dye that’s uneven as fuck and fades out to reveal the three previous bathroom dye jobs.

I have been the subject of weeks - weeks - of sustained harassment on Instagram because of cricizing two conservative authors. I do not for a second think meta will do a thing about it. If you critique right wing views you just have to accept being the subject of a sustained deluge of slurs.

So I reached out to the only working printing press operator I could find in the area and he actually replied………

We simply do not do religious art like this anymore

These are my five-star reads from March. What were yours? #booksky #books #fantasybooks

“Come, Beatrice. We’ll scramble the menfolk.”

The entire country of Norfolk followed me. Truly an honor.

“Why should fear be the only reaction to artificial intelligence?” It’s not. I’m mostly incandescently pissed off with people like you.

From my sapphic ecothriller "Accelerated Growth Environment" from @shirakipress.com for #lesficfri "Usually Jorna’s interest wasn’t so evident, preferring instead to move slowly, carefully, but something about ... the way she leaned toward Jorna, her eyes twinkling ... had made her careless..."

I'm the type of horrifying morning person who wakes up with no alarm and has to remind myself that it's impolite to text at 5:45 a.m.

No, this isn't it. I did years of consulting and marketing and writing everything from financial brochures to sports newsletters in client-specified voice, and was so good at it that I made a six-figure salary entirely from word of mouth. An "AI" isn't going to do any of that better than I did.

As president of @authorsabb.bsky.social, I stand with all 10 toes down against this first of its kind federal book banning bigoted bullsh*t bill. It's a Trojan Horse for the federal gov't to weasel its way into our classrooms, and decide what YOU and YOUR kids can read. In short, I hate it.

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

In a world where we are supposed to be constantly marketing and pitching, I am so excited to pitch as poorly as I possibly can.

There is ONE active historical printing press that I can find in this state and their only contact is a website that hasn’t been updated since 2022 and a gmail account. I MUST.

The hate comments have definitely accelerated suddenly. Happy TDOV I guess 🫠

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

What a good day to call your rep about H.R. 7661, the national book banning bill that's aimed at getting rid of all books about transness from school libraries #tdov

Books for every fantasy sub-genre, part I It got too long so I’m doing two posts. What would you add to these sub-genres? These are just some of my personal favorites. #books #reading #fantasybooks

Finished a short story last night 🙌 #writing

Boy, do I wish the US one didn’t rely on registering a copyright, which thousands and thousands of smaller authors don’t do for completely legitimate reasons.

All I’m seeing is arguments for a steam deck

I have my criticisms of the org, but this is 100% absolutely definitely the type of escalation in tactics they should be building towards, and I’m happy to see it. Imagine an actual mass movement May Day in America…
