October! This year I wrote a horror novel called UNDEAD HUNGRY GRANDMOTHER BIRTHDAY PARTY. It's a demented and unrepentant splatterpunk love story about a girl and her grandmother. You can find it here: asofterworld.com/joey/grandmo...

"don't be evil" I'd settle for "Don't be fucking incompetent AI slop"

Today I got rained on. I forgot how alive you feel when out of nowhere it just starts POURING rain. Nature hides in the background a lot of the time, and then suddenly it is so powerful and all around you that it feels like everything. You feel like an idiot for forgetting it at all.

In 2022 I uploaded almost 100 hours of detailed video reviews of different diecast cars. I only note this for future historians who need proof that in addition to being a brilliant writer, I'm also autistic AND I have a sexy voice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2XB...

it is friday the 13th. maybe it would be relaxing to your heart to read a summer-camp slasher movie in the form of a novel? my book THE SUMMER IS ENDED AND WE ARE NOT YET SAVED is back in print, and available in various ebook formats. asofterworld.com/joey/summer....

My new book! UNDEAD HUNGRY GRANDMOTHER BIRTHDAY PARTY This is a quiet, unhinged, sweet, autistic, deeply insane horror book. At its heart you will find a knife and a message: You shouldn't be afraid of them seeing the real you, They should be. asofterworld.com/joey/grandmo...

My book of dirty stories is full of math, ghosts, chess and country music. It is sweet and kind and just a bit bewildering. The Girl who Couldn't Come is back in print after almost ten years, and it is perfect for reading out loud to someone who feels too far away. asofterworld.com/joey/stories...

My patreon has my works in progress, and early short stories and comics and new short stories as I write them. Since february I've written and published a horror novel on there, and brought my dirty stories book back into print. www.patreon.com/joeycomeau

It is my birthday today!

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

you will NEVER GUESS whose birthday is tomorrow!

in two days I will be √2025 years old!

The Chathrand is an ancient ship made from enormous extinct trees. The craftsmanship and resources no longer exist to build ships like it. It is such a well conceived and lived-in setting for one of my favourite fantasy series: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

You can only practice smiling in the mirror for so long before you need outside feedback. It's just an echo chamber of teeth. People dart across the street when I say good morning and they get hit by cars and they say "Even this is better! Even death is be..." and they die.

Walking Mitchie was a goddamn ordeal. We turned another corner and oh look, a man minding his own business. I guess we'd better go over and see what he smells like. For me, Mitchie had no interest in wagging his tail. But for strangers? For strangers he wagged his whole ass.

The #HugoAward for Best Graphic Story or Comic goes to Star Trek: Lower Decks: Warp Your Own Way, written by Ryan North, art by Chris Fenoglio (IDW Publishing).

My friend @ryannorth.ca won a HUGO award what the HELL! Fuck the Eisner and Harveys and NYT Bestseller lists he's got stacked up somewhere, he won an honest to god HUGO award. So excited!!! Congratulations!

Your Name Here by Helen DeWitt & Ilya Gridneff: dalkeyarchive.store/products/you... I was lucky to read the early version of this as a passed-around pay-the-author PDF, when I was obsessed with The Last Samurai and it seemed like this next amazing book would be impossible to publish. It's here.

I have posted a new chapter of my novel Cargo for free on my site. Charles is a janitor on a retirement home spaceship. Along with his dog Mitchie, he becomes wrapped up in a plot to free all the animals and plants on board, and to terraform the inside of the ship.

"If police are going to be using drones, we need much stronger limits on how they do that, including treating the flying of the drone as a search that requires a warrant,” EFF’s Adam Schwartz told @Dispatch.com. www.dispatch.com/story/news/...

A nice review by @coreyredekop.bsky.social about my book! asofterworld.com/joey/grandmo...

The first draft of CARGO is finished and I could not be happier with this weird, sweet book about a janitor and his friendship with a wonderful wall-licking dog, on a retirement spaceship growing stranger and stranger around them. (see 1st reply)

Mitchie's inspiration, Lulu.

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

I posted a chapter of my science fiction novel-in-progress. I've been posting scenes and snippets that I'm happy with. The book is bout a retirement home spaceship that becomes self aware. But also about a janitor making friends with a three legged dog. patreon.com/posts/135815...

"A quiet retirement ship unexpectedly breaks its orbit around Pluto, and a janitor is assigned a service dog that he never asked for. All they want to do is go for a walk without being hassled by terrified crew, a wildly spreading jungle, and ship that suddenly has opinions."

And I've obviously been saying this a lot lately, but BDS does not expect anyone to drop everything made by Microsoft all at once. They pick very specific targets in order to get as wide a coalition as possible, and in the case of Xbox, even suggest different tiers of engagement.

It's a direct line. First, Microsoft's Azure enabled the mass surveillance of a civilian population living in apartheid conditions on the West bank. Then, that same technology was deployed in Gaza to support airstrikes into "densely populated" civillian areas. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

Fuck OFF

i wrote a novella it's about longtermist vampires, doing too many drugs, and socialism it's available right now merrittk.itch.io/vampirocene thanks to @slimyswampghost.bsky.social for the killer cover art
