how long is a freight train legally allowed to idle until i am allowed to throw a brick at it?

Happy Earth Day.

an eagle just dropped a dead squirrel on my porch overhang, right in front of my office windows. surely, this is an auspicious sign.

congratulations to all the finalists!

will always repost the Mean Lesbian Stack!

happy book birthday!!

Our Infinite and Inevitable Ends coming to you from ECW Press on October 27, 2026.

at least back in the USSR the government had the decency to stealthily plant listening devices in your walls. now i gotta purchase my own device?

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast. In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically. Most people have no idea. 🧵

Read the first chapters to @thesuiway.bsky.social's "Our Infinite and Inevitable Ends" and I am hooked. It's tight, and urgent, and deeply troubling. ✨ www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Look, for my money the absolute game changer technologies right now are batteries and biosciences, not statistically modeling a mid conversation, but you do you.

pour one out for my monstera, please. it has succumbed to the mites.

this is the dumbest thing i've ever read and i spend my days re-reading stuff i wrote the night before.

55% funded! www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

*inhales deeply* behold! my wares! i have books about sad monks:

pressed send on an email and now i'm on the floor because i nearly blacked out. i am a delicate flower, treat me as such.

i have nothing to add except for a thousand-yard stare

Here we are again

why is my ceiling fan leaking, and other adventures in home ownership.

the opposite of a relaxing read by the pool 😅

Restocked my community library shelf with @thomasha.bsky.social's "Uncertain Sons" and @thesuiway.bsky.social's "Iron Garden Sutra". @mariadongwrites.bsky.social's "Psychopomp" is also a recent addition. Along with spider bookmarks and sticky notes 🕷🥩

i complain a lot on here, but you know what's not something to complain about? free stuff!

come witness me in all my greyscale glory.

cool. another reason to avoid Starbucks.

It's release day for Saros SF #5, the sound/silence issue! This was my first go at editing a magazine. I have more to say about the experience, and about each of these fabulous stories, but for now: Yay! You can (and I hope you will!) acquire the issue for free or PWYC here: sarossf.com/issue-5/

look, I don't have an MBA but this seems bad? i dunno tho

if i get another Ozempic ad while i'm just trying to learn cool space facts, i will snap my laptop in half.

really? sure sounds like the natural "find out" that follows the "fuck around" phase.

i don't want AI for all. i want our public school system to pay teachers enough and retain them and for our hospitals to have enough nurses.

We're less than $400 from adding the year's best SFF poetry to the anthology! And I'm thrilled to introduce 3 more authors joining the [email protected], @rati.bsky.social, and @rhwesley.bsky.social (who wins the prize for most Canadian author photo 😂) www.kickstarter.com/projects/kot...

wouldst thou like a (FREE) sci-fi serial? first two chapters are up! extra chapters behind a paywall for the price of a coffee. chapters will be released monthly until i run out of sf tropes or my brain leaks out of my ears! extra goodies to come!

finished reading Atmosphere, and the most realistic thing in that book is that the MC has an easier time going to space as a woman in the 80s than getting a tenure-track job.

i'm gonna go watch Halt and Catch Fire and i'm sure by the time i'm done everything will be fine with the world.

congratulations to all the finalists!

fun news coming in an hour (that's like, if you like fun... and i mean *my* definition of fun)

love a good grumpy/sunshine pairing. cannot stand sunshine people irl.

oh sweet relief. they loaded.

refreshing my BookScan for new numbers like a rat who was promised cocaine.

one this is certain, seeing Christina Koch in space, being majestic and floating about, would have rewired little A.D.'s brain when they were a kid. i would have studied math like no one has ever studied math before. would have STEMmed so hard.

surprise! Our Infinite and Inevitable Ends from @ecwpress.bsky.social is now up on goodreads (with a cover i am still screeching about). add it to your TBR if you like morally questionable decisions made by equally morally questionable sapphics.

i am ravenous for this 👀

300 LIBRARIES!!!!!

i am awake and i want to scream.

A little sequential painting with peaches. I should do another one of these.
