Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Boxing Day? My dojo doesn't box, but it's as close as I can get.

No, I don't automatically follow back. I'm a minor public figure, I can't follow everyone who follows me. I start off by following accounts that interest me. I follow back once we have established some kind of rapport and a history of positive interaction. (1/2)

Given the time of year, we'd like to re-share this wonderful article by @zzclaybourne.bsky.social about how reading is a way to connect with the world. We hope you're all able to take the time you need to read. <3 www.readindiefantasy.com/guest-post-w... #BookSky

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Four hours until I can shut up about the Wee Beasties Storybundle. Fourteen books about, you guessed it, wee beasties. Tiny critters. Big struggles. In four hours, my book disappears forever. No, I won't release it elsewhere. This is it. storybundle.com/animals

Please read this lovely post from sf writer Connie Willis. Happy Christmas to all who celebrate. (And those of you who don’t, read this anyway. it’s delightful.) The title is “The Day That Holds Time Together,” in case the link doesn’t take you there directly. cwdaily.net

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

How I'm showing up for the bluesky xmas party.

I can’t stop but think of the different storylines that exist during the holidays for people. If these times feel weird or painful or less than ideal for you, I just wanted to let you know that you are thought of and identified with. You’re not alone in your feelings. 💜
