Sudden inspiration for next book's sponsor gift. Just thinking here, pondering, but maybe: ramen seasoning bath bombs?

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.

A reminder for 2026: in a time where internet algorithms are being trained on anger, & politicians & media outlets are learning how to capitalise on fear & hatred, the most radical thing you can do in public is SHARE MOMENTS OF JOY. Share what you love as much as possible. Let gratitude be fire.

This is a good thread.

"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.

ICYMI, here's my final reading of the year, courtesy Casa Hernandooney (C.S.E. Cooney and Carlos Hernandez), who brought all the fun I didn't know I needed. May your future stay full of good words and the comforts of friends!

Most of us here like our neighbors a lot, But the Trunch, who lived down in Mar a Lago, does not. The Trunch, he hates people, whole human race! It spews from his mouth, and is etched on his face. It could be his brain doesn't function just right. But if I were to guess, well, he isn't too bright.

"The Canterville Ghost" on Amazon prime video: complete in 4 episodes, based on an Oscar Wilde story. Enjoyed it, and not just for the heroic rat.

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.

Hey! I got a fan song! If you want to know what they're a fan of, today is the last day to get the Wee Beasties bundle. My "Beastly Virtues" is only in this bundle, and disappears forever with the bundle. storybundle.com/animals

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. 💜

I know people who don't speak to their parents, and I also know the reasons, and HOO BOY it is extremely non-trivial, and in some cases outright criminal. Being cut off is actually better than these people deserve. People simply do not cut their parents (or others) off for no reason.

The Wee Beasties bundle is almost gone! 14 books, 8 of them available only in this bundle, all about tiny critters in a huge world. Part of the proceeds benefit World Central Kitchen. storybundle.com/animals My book, Beastly Virtues? Tomorrow night, it disappears forever. Grab it while you can!
