Things to Know #1. Commercially available DNA tests don't mean what you think they mean. You might as well be asking a Magic 8 Ball if you're looking at ethnicity. #2. Your high school civics/government/history teacher 9 times out of 10 was teaching propaganda # 3. Companies don't care about you.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

#WeeknightWriters Q3 This week it's editing! I'm so glad to have amazing editing clients. I did well on my last project and got paid this week. Aside from that, I'm actually enjoying the rain! I'm thankful we got some because that's actually rare here and we need the water/snow 🌧️☔

in case you missed it yesterday, we have released the cover for book 3 of the ANA AND DIN MYSTERIES, which is A TRADE OF BLOOD

They’re almost there! 🥰

I just backed What Elegant Stars on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

Three days, slightly under $3k to go in order to fund WHAT ELEGANT STARS, a space opera & fashion anthology that I am deeply, deeply excited to write for ... if it gets funded. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

As I fight mightily not to openly weep in the busy coffee shop, I realize that I probably should've stayed home to finally read "What Any Dead Thing Wants" by @aimeeogdenwrites.com whilst listening to "The Great Divide" by Noah Kahan on loop. 🥲 But what a beautiful story, omg.

Further bird research has enlightened me. I’m hearing wooing calls from the bachelor doves, not pairs. So my YT broadcast of dove cooing is less a love triangle and more “Hey toots, nice tufts! You wanna come sit up on my perch! 😘” Love in all its splendors, amirite?

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I'm sitting on my back porch in a pile of blankets with my dogs. We can hear our pair of mourning doves calling to one another. I got worried I had the species wrong as I typed that, so I pulled up a YT video. I fear I might have started a love triangle.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

We do Bones 💀 Gideon the Ninth mockup dust cover, front.

Still can't quite believe that my story, Last Train from Deadwall, made the Locus Recommended Reading List, but it's there! Many thanks to @bcsmagazine.bsky.social for giving this story a home and @scott-h-andrews.bsky.social for helping to shape it into its best form. locusmag.com/2026/02/2025...

I post this link merely as a cultural curiosity and not so that anyone could print one if, say, whistles were banned. Obviously that would be wrong.

If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Remember we would always see the “Patriot Front” jumping out of Uhauls, marching through towns? That stopped when ICE got started, I just can’t figure that out

Whoo hoo, I've had another short story accepted today! I'll scream more about it when it's closer to time, but thought I'd share. 🫶

Yes! My dark fantasy tale of processing grief whilst falling in love with an aspen colony of the front range came out this month in @bdglit.bsky.social ! #WeeknightWriters

Being close to finishing a new short story that incorporates my love of justice, Karst topography, weird exoplanets, and my more recent familiarity with winemaking. My family, dogs and the notorious Archimedes! Also polishing up a piece, realizing I like it and sending it to @ottersediting.com !

Q3: Let's cheer things up a bit! What has brought you joy in the past week? Remember, no joy is too small! #WeeknightWriters

As an editor, I support the emotional weight of the story and characters. But I also support you as the author. There are highs and lows in the editing and publishing process. I'm here for you during that journey. I care about you & your writing as an empathetic editor. #editing #editor

Sometimes I decide a story I wrote is garbage and then I’m forced to go look at it again months later and realize, ya know, it’s actually pretty good?

Just sharing that this wondeful story on @diabolicalplots.com reminded me of reason I write and read stories about grief, and how much that is needed in the midst of processing our own. www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-4...

We are going to win.

I use Obsidian note for organization and random notes or sprints, and Scrivener for the rest. I’ve also been using Plottr a little bit for outlining.

Please help out if you can.

Shout-out to everyone who's tired as fuck of only seeing the first four lines of this poem shared around.

Do it

Minneapolis.

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

Reassert our claim on science fiction as the genre of humanism by burying subtlety and recasting it as the literature of protest.
