"Dream of the Bird Tattoo depicts the interplay of the personal and the social in its vision of grief for a parent, and it does so movingly and with powerful softness." Thanks to @tristanbeiter.bsky.social and @strangehorizons.bsky.social‬ for this excellent review! #booksky

Cowardice, nonsense, and complete bullshit. These are not normal times. I stand with @padilla.senate.gov for doing what it takes to stand up to injustice.

Thank you for believing in my book, @unmpress.bsky.social I'm proud to share the savvy cover reveal. TY to my agent @tracycrow.bsky.social

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

Now is the time for our citizenry to fight for our federal workers and national programs. Let’s stand up to the power-mad autocrats, plutocrats and theocrats attacking democracy—at home and abroad. I spoke with @briantylercohen.bsky.social about our historic assignment today.

We loved seeing @freadomfighters.bsky.social and all the other librarians at Sundance. Showing up for your school and public libraries really matters. Check out the resources available on the #UniteAgainstBookBans website. ➡️ uniteagainstbookbans.org/toolkit/ youtu.be/rTe3m8OdFV0?...

"Leadership means firmness, not harshness or bullying; understanding, not weakness; justice, not irresponsible freedom; humaneness, not intolerance; generosity, not selfishness; pride, not egotism." General Omar N. Bradley, born on this day in 1893

"It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well." René Descartes, who died on this day in 1650

“Why does the writer write? The writer writes to serve--hopelessly he writes in the hope that he might serve--not himself and not others, but that great cold elemental grace that knows us.” Joy Williams, born on this day in 1944

Check out the incredible artwork by my friend Barbara Clark. She's based in New Mexico. Her interpretations of the landscape and sky make me smile. She was the featured artist in a calendar published by New Mexico Magazine a couple of years ago.

I highly recommend reading Laura Whitfield's memoir, Untethered. We first connected through our books and we've become close friends. Great picture, Laura.

Scenes from my joint book event with @sarenaulibarri.bsky.social at @bkwrks.bsky.social! A great convo thanks to Sarena, a great crowd, and a lot of gratitude on my part. Thanks to everyone who came out!

The pup would like to formally announce that she has a new pink bandana. It will last approximately one more day before she squirms out of it while she naps. But for now, she’s quite proud of it. #DogsOfBluesky #corgi

Hello, new followers! And thank you to @renanbernardo.bsky.social for including me in the SFF writers starter pack. 😁 💙📚👀 I write in several genres but am best known for solarpunk. My SF novella Another Life came out from @stelliform.press last year! www.stelliform.press/index.php/pr...

To celebrate Black History Month, we're spotlighting just a few of the countless Black writers and intellectuals who have contributed to our literary legacy. "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." - Toni Morrison #BlackHistoryMonth

I loved reading Pat Wahler's historical novel, The Rose of Washington Square. Come meet Rose O'Neill, the artist behind the famous Kewpie dolls. She was a woman living in a man's world and she had to prove herself time and again. @patwahlerauthor.bsky.social

My first post here. Author, long time escapee from X, recent refugee from TT. My 9x gr grandmother, Martha Carrier, was hanged as a witch in 1692. Here’s hoping this little witch finds refuge on Bluesky.

Like and repost to thank General Mark Milley for his service, bravery, integrity and leadership to the men and women of the Armed Forces. History will be good to men of integrity and patriotism like General Milley. To Hegseth & Trump, not so much.

For our latest episode, we reread Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved 1911 novel The Secret Garden, which has arguably the best setting in all of children's literature. rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/epis...
