These AI slop ads, I just...what are we even supposed to *think* when we see a sweater for sale that's grafted to an ACTUAL CAT'S FACE? Seriously, wtf? How is this a working business model? (This ad was served to me on Goodreads but I've seen similar crap elsewhere as well.)

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

Found out this week that my partner hates "Gremlins." Now I'm not sure how we've managed to stay together for so long.

If I found out you asked an LLM anything about me or made a decision related to me using it at all, I will not be one of your loved ones again until you fix some things about yourself.

Unexpected NASA burn: "I’ve flown a rocket ship into space four times, built by the lowest bidder." Ummmmm....

I've never done an eligibility post before. Be gentle. Share and share alike. Any consideration when it comes time for awards is greatly appreciated.

I published some pieces I'm deeply proud of this year. My second novel, one of my most personal novelettes, one of my weirdest short stories, and an essay on an idea that's been nagging me for years.

There should be a summer camp where adults can go to practice dealing with their worst fears. How do I get out of quicksand? How fast can I climb out if I fall on the subway tracks? But with safety equipment and the train is just a guy saying "choo choo" at you

An old fav I've been thinking about lately, my story "The Daddy Thing" at @electricliterature.com Some things I still feel extra pleased about even years later: the story's odd shape, the bats (obvs), the mother's tattoo, the vampire, the rhythm, & the inverted question marks #ThrowbackThursday

As it is November, I have made the annual Awards Eligibility Post, in case you want to like, nominate me for things. www.marievibbert.com/award-eligib...

Haven't decided exactly what it should mean but I feel like "copulous" should be a word. Was trying to make it work in a sentence yesterday and then I was like, wait a minute, did I just make this up? Is "copulous" in the dictionary? Reader, it is not.

“Little Thief and the Martyr’s Head” is available now in the new issue of Beneath Ceaseless Skies! It’s about a homeless orphan girl who discovers she can speak to one of the severed heads mounted over the city gate.

Putting this together was heartening. I'd honestly forgotten that some of these were 2025. In a tough year, I really needed to reflect on my #writing wins. What's not pictured? All the other amazing stories I wrote! (Stay tuned for 2026+?) If you want to nominate anything, I won't stop you. 😘🖤
