He can't stand to be laughed at. Everyone still making jokes about him is doing God's work.

Nisi Shawl is one of the most brilliant writers out there. I'm so glad to be able to fund her literal dream project. Please consider doing the same? www.gofundme.com/f/help-nisi-... @nisishawl.bsky.social

My high school too! (though I graduated much later than them)

"Each time I align the jump ignition sequence, I feel the shipsuit respond to my intention, its answer a thrum of power I can hardly comprehend. It opens a rift in space, and I slip through." Read 'In The Vanguard' by @chloehsmith.bsky.social inner-worlds.ghost.io/in-the-vangu... #SFF #SciFi

weekend reading

You don't actually know what will or will not make a difference which is why it matters to try to do things.

I was excited to see @fetaplace.bsky.social’s name on the cover in Barnes & Noble this week!

Contributor's copies have arrived! @zanzjan.bsky.social @richarddlarson.bsky.social @fetaplace.bsky.social @savantefolle.bsky.social @tobiasbuckell.bsky.social @derekkunsken.bsky.social @williampreston.bsky.social @lavietidhar.bsky.social @asimovssfmag.bsky.social

Went to the art book fair and found the room with vintage paperbacks. This was my haul, which one should I read first?

This story was wild!

do you ever stare at the ceiling and think about how the worldwide scientific establishment did the impossible and created a COVID vaccine in under a year and the response of the general public has been to go on an unstoppable rampage to destroy science and scientists

I think a really important thing is giving yourself permission to do thing slowly. You aren’t going to cook a good meal rushing, aren’t going to write a good book rushing, aren’t going to enjoy your day with a friend rushing. It’s really important to practice intentional slowness sometimes.

The first page of The Xenotext: Book 2 by Christian Bök goes so hard

It me! Stay safe out there...

Sometimes we can have nice things.

@asimovssfmag.bsky.social #FavoriteStories Jul/Aug 2025 #Asimovs #Fantasy #SF Another Mother on Mars by Dominica Phetteplace @fetaplace.bsky.social The times, technology and location may be very different, but many of the worries and concerns of soon-to-be-mothers are very much the same.

The latest Murakami was so dreamy and wonderful. Left me with a craving for black coffee and blueberry muffins.

Look what's arrived at the office! The first issue of our 40th anniversary year! Order your copy of Issue 129 here: www.zyzzyva.org/product/zyzz...

I know we're in a recession because TheRealReal is lit right now.

"We are God's windows." I loved Perspective(s) by Laurent Binet, a murder mystery set in sixteenth century Florence starring Vasari, Cellini, Michelangelo, and many Medicis. Short too! I've included my cat's foot for scale. @fsgbooks.bsky.social @atahualpavasari.bsky.social

This is especially problematic considering the well-known racial biases of these tools.

Got a new little flash piece up at Lightspeed: www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/talk...

"You can't wake up if you don't fall asleep." Really enjoying ASTEROID CITY by @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social

I think the vibe has shifted...

A bunch of other things.

When it's in Publishers Marketplace, it's real! So excited to have Vonda McIntyre's last book out in the world soon! @clarionwest.bsky.social @timmi.bsky.social

Hey look! I wrote something

Immigration is good, actually.

this cake is super good btw. it has gone by several names over the years and the recipe is very forgiving. give it a try

If there are no consequences for doing a Nazi salute, you can expect to see more of them in the future.

The new issue @nplusonemag.com was a real treat, I especially enjoyed Mina Tavakoli's take on a ventriloquism convention

Wolf Hall is so good!

the ol' bsky is bigger than it used to be, so I'm just gonna put some stuff out into the aether: -- if you have a left-ish publication that's open to syndicated content, please consider TMW! -- I am still on the hunt for a book publisher to put out my next compilation. Please share this around.

Reading and enjoying Christopher Brown's A Natural History of Empty Lots, which I bought after Cory Doctorow recommended it. @christopherbrown.bsky.social

Enjoyed Andrew Janiak's book on the life and work of Emilie du Chatelet. She was an eighteenth century natural philosopher who rejected the great man theory of science.

Ending on time is a feminist act.

This was a chill and magical read about how much work sucks. Highly recommended!
