Organ Pipe Cactus commissioned me to design this poster to celebrate their new dark sky status. www.spacearttravelbureau.com #art #spaceart #astronomy

Okay so I'm not the only one

Eyes on the prize

Good morning to everyone stumbling through 2026

Looks like Amazon finally got itself together and the Kindle version of THE IRON WYRM AFFAIR live. (Looks like Memorial Day weekend was hard on everyone.)

"Those alarmed at the paucity of myth-based art-history heist-caper invasive-fungi alien-overlord space operas will be relieved to learn that Molly Tanzer is here to fix things for us." --Gary K. Wolfe

In the beginning, the BlueSky is a Bubble takes were spaced by 24 weeks. Then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. The last one in Sydney was a week. In 4 days, we could be seeing a Bubble take every 8 hours, until they are coming every 4 minutes. Marshal, we should witness a double event within 7 days.

Goddamn ninjas cutting onions…

Hop online, looks like someone is mad that no one here cares about their opinions.

Confidential to the folks who think "Golden Age" SF/F writers would be sad about current SF/F writers' lack of excitement over "AI": Why would you think the generation of writers who founded SFWA to defend the rights of working SF/F writers would somehow be cool with the plagiarism machine?

Mandalorian and Grogu fits in the same spot in my heart as Clone Wars. And we get to see Rotta all growed up!

It's that time of year where everyone is done. And I drink too much coffee and walk around like I am too tired for everything. Because I am.

I feel like I've been running a marathon for weeks. Finally getting to the end of the list of responsibilities but damn. I know things got done but I also feel like a failure.

Spotted on Tumblr…

I love this take on costume as art. She's wearing a paint splash

I love this moment we're in where stuff is molded like fluid, or wet fabric

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

Speculative fiction fans, can you *please* stop using YA as a way to insult adult fiction? YA isn't devoid of subtext or descriptions. It isn't lesser. If you notice those trends in adult, it's not because YA trends have infected it. And if you notice that in YA, then you need to read better books.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Whatever you do,

Anyway yes, reminder that if you pre-order WICKHILLS you get a) a novel and b) a bunch of mildly silly asides in it (all written entirely by me, ahem ahem) including police reports, bulletin board summaries, a soup recipe, and excerpts from a DIFFERENT novel us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The four humans who have traveled the furthest from Earth. (Via NASA.)

Truer words. But that sweater is a warm comfy blanket over my existence.

Just found a ham sandwich tied to a piece of string leading into the woods. Probably fine.

THIS IS WHAT’S AT STAKE. If we cede Oxford comma to AI, the entire language will fall like a meaningless house of slop.

I was home sick from school and turned it on because it had been hyped so much and all my friends were watching it. I had to break the news to my parents, who did not believe me at first because it was so shocking. So that meant a lot of watching the news that morning.

Incredible footage from a United Airlines flight of the Artemis II launch.

Absolutely watched the launch and was mentally counting until we passed enough seconds that I thought we were at least good for now. Cautious optimism and hope can be in short supply these days but grab hold when you can.

Did I need to read the article about SFF releases this month. No. Did I? Hell yeah. So many beautiful books.

Artemis is a hopeful reminder that government can be a good thing if we staff it with passionate, skilled, and honorable people.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility 🩵🩷🤍 More cis people need to be raising our voices in support of trans rights and liberation, because guess what - those are our rights, too. Attacks on bodily autonomy for one are attacks on bodily autonomy for all. We all have the right of self expression.

They also have these really cute backpack that are convertible in case you're a wheelchair user and I absolutely will be buying one at the end of April. I've fought the temptation for long enough and I'll finally have the money to get it!

Food crisis solved. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Evergreen. Every damn day.

support this incredible read free hero if you're able!

Yes. A million times yes. It was absolutely an expensive hell before we got in, but once we did it was life-changing.

Do you know how much more weird shit would exist if we weren't constantly terrified of where the next dollar comes from? I'm driving around in second gear all the time.
