As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Just fixing a small plot hole this morning. Nothing to worry about. #writesky #writingcommunity

Finished another pass on project Spirits. Hitting that point where I'm trying to decide if I should get one more round of feedback or if it's time to call it done. There's just been too many problems with this one. I don't trust my own judgment anymore. #writerstears #writingcommunity #writesky

Wow, It Rhymes With Takei was nominated for “Best Graphic Memoir” at the 2026 Eisner Awards.

A cool surprise for Mother's Day this year. I was drooling over it but ultimately walked away and my wonderful son and husband went back for it. ❤️

RSVP now! Launch party for Emptiness: A One-Shot Anthology is set for Sat May 23 at 4:15pm, at the Blake House in Toronto. Join us for book signings, readings, speeches, prizes, and more! www.meetup.com/toronto-scie... #fantasybooks #sciencefictionbooks #anthology #canadianwriters #booklaunch

So awesome ❤️

may is #AAPIHeritageMonth! i'm currently reading George Takei's graphic memoir, It Rhymes With Takei, and next i'll be reading Scott Kurashige's American Peril.

What does he wish? Nothing, but a peaceful end for them both. What will he try to do? Complete eradication of the soul. #EneMay #writesky #writingcommunity

So a while back, I got possibly my worst author contact form email ever. It was an AI-written message asking me to stop including trans and nonbinary characters in my books. I went UGH and deleted it like it was a pic of roadkill. But I find I still have pent up things to say about it. (1/?)

💯

MT CAT: meow ME: really? CAT: meow ME: and then what? CAT: mrrowwww ME: well sometimes it be like that I don't know what to tell you

Absolutely thrilled to announce that Cinder House is a Hugo finalist! And in the best company I can imagine! Thanks so much to everyone who nominated it, and congrats to all the other finalists & categories.

IM AN AURORA AWARD FINALIST SOMEHOW!??? 😱 www.csffa.ca/awards-infor...

Thrilled to share that "the love song of house and lake" is nominated for this year's Aurora Awards for Best Short Story!! Congrats to all my fellow nominees ❤️ @csffa.bsky.social @onspecmag.bsky.social www.csffa.ca/awards-infor...

A WIRED review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI shows they could emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year. www.wired.com/story/new-ga...

Do you ever pick up a book that you haven't read in a long while and start reading it, and chuckle a bit. Then you remember how much you like that one character, and the plot makes you smile... And then you're all like, "Oh! Yeah! I wrote this!" #WritingCommunity #WritersLife

I (along with @james-downe-author.bsky.social) will be appearing on three panels at this year's WHEN WORDS COLLIDE festival in Calgary, August 14 to 16. Read on to learn more! dmiasek.com/2026/04/17/w...

Last night I finished It Rhymes with Takei This is such an important book for everyone to read, especially now. Queer friends and allies south of the border, stay strong. Be the rainbow at the end of the tunnel. #queerbooks #lgbtq🌈#georgetakei @georgetakei.bsky.social

Finally finished The Poppy War trilogy by @rfkuang.bsky.social This one took me a while because my heart can only handle so much at once. Such an excellent series, I highly recommend it, but brace yourself: This is a brutal ride right up to the end. #booksky

Finished some large scale changes today on WIP: Spirits. Putting it aside before doing a last (ha!) clean-up to rework a query and maybe do some act 2 revision planning for WIP: Veil (I may not plan books, but I do plan when I'm fixing those pantser disasters). #writesky #pantser

Not sure I've ever related to anything more...

If you have not checked out this amazing series get your ass to the bookstore yesterday! #badassbooks #booksky

If I were smart and cool I would have an actual link to my book in my post, huh? I'm so bad at this 😂 (Publisher page that has buy links to various major outlets): www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/melis...

It's ace day! 🖤🤍💜 In case you didn't know, I'm a biromantic asexual, much like the main character of my Echo Archives series, the badass but tired new mom Kembral Thorne, who would love to have fun at this party but is stuck in a murder time loop with her cat burglar nemesis instead

Before teaching, before writing, I wanted this. And on some level I knew it was never going to happen. Not for me. But I am so here for this moment, for her. You show 'em girl! ❤️

Holy shit these two photos from Artemis II that were shared just a bit ago.

When I was younger, I wanted to be an astronaut to explore the unknown and float around in space and to boldly go where no man has gone before, and now I wanna be an astronaut just to be 238,000 miles away from earth so I can finally unclench my jaw for a little bit so

Canadian Friends! Nominations are currently open for this year's Aurora Awards, and my short story "the love song of house and lake" is eligible for the shortlist. If you need a spooky summer romance to get you through the rainy days of April, this story is for you ❤️

"I believe in a future in which trans people aren't forced to live in fear, shame and secrecy." My strip for TDOV.

THERAPIST: and what do we do when we're sad? ME: get another used cat? THERAPIST (nodding): get another used cat

There's something both tragic and satisfying about finding the darling I need to kill, that one little moment or turn of phrase I just adore that is undermining the whole 🤬ing book. Sigh. #writerstears #writersky

How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by @djangowexler.bsky.social A hilarious romp through the origins of an evil empire. Definitely going to pick up Davi 2. #booksky #darklord

at this point I do think we need a law where, if CEO/executive salaries exceed a certain reasonable threshold, it should be illegal for the company to cut employee salaries, freeze hiring or institute layoffs on financial grounds unless they've first cut their own compensation back to the threshold
