sometimes, i come to the wrong conclusion that i've attained inner peace, and then i try to mail something to the US.

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

good thing i have this post-apocalyptic, dystopian, ecologically drained fictional world to escape to.

It’s hell today in Dnipro . I don’t know how much information gets to your mainstream media, but it’s tough . Sirens don’t work , and Russia continues attacking the city. - so peopel rely on internet notifications - but since Russia bombed power station again and it’s blackout - people are asked

Chatgpt! Is! Not! Confidential! Do! Not! Do! This! For! Fuck's! Sake!

and if you're Canadian, i highly encourage you to email/ call your MPs and tell them why Carney's response re: Venezuela is not enough.

Canadians! Use this tool to find your reps: www.ourcommons.ca/members/en And let them know that you, too, are deeply disappointed in our government's failure to properly address the situation in Venezuela

Start your new year ✨fresh✨ with this list of all! the new! science fiction books! coming out in January 2026!

The Iron Garden Sutra is on another LIST!!! (all of the titles here are going straight to my TBR pile and then i'm buying a new bookshelf to accommodate)

75?! folks, i am throwing in the towel. i am not that much of a luddite.

for every like i'll post a piece of technology i hate from the bottom of my heart.

2026 is our debut year!! Here are some of the SFF authors I have the honor of debuting with early this year. I am really excited about these books so please check them out when you have the chance! #booksky

gosh how i wish someone would describe my work as having "mind viruses" in it 🥹

get the rabies vaccine if a bat touches. trust me it's waaaaaaay fewer shots than before and MUCH better than dying of rabies. sincerely, person who got rabies vaccine

okay open call, if you have an SFF romance coming out in 2026, and it's not grindingly heteropatriarchal in outlook and values, please tell me about it! I'm compiling my reading lists!

ARB's Notable Books of 2025!

Gimme your 2026 books!

geographical location is becoming such a huge part of this too. it's a lot cheaper to fly within the US vs. flying from a different country. so much of publishing is US-centric.

If you're looking for more context on Venezuela, @globalvoices.org has a special coverage on the election and aftermath last year, with info on the opposition, the ways Maduro's regime used digital tools for oppression, and much more, directly from Venezuelan and other regional perspectives.

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

On the bright side, Carney is at no risk of breaking his spine when the Trump regime kidnaps him, because he doesn't have one.

Casual reminder that Itch stole my money & I can no longer sell there, meaning I can't promote with my friends or participate in bundles & other opportunities. I'd really appreciate if y'all could help me get more discovery for my books on here instead! 100% human made, 100% queer creative team!

This is a dangerous and irresponsible response. Cheering the illegal abduction of a foreign head of state and celebrating U.S. control over another country is wrong. Canada cannot pick & choose when international law applies. If the rules only matter when it’s convenient, they don’t protect anyone

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."

Not a chance, ya fucking dork

if you ever needed another reason to never post pictures of your children anywhere online (because i guarantee you, it is probably not just X).

The Iron Garden Sutra is on A LIST with a bunch of other really cool SFF titles coming out 2026. sandwiched between a new Corey book and a new Mandel book, and i couldn't be happier.

tim hortons coffee will turn an uninitiated drinker blind, i swear.

the fuck was she supposed to wear, Crocs?

i'm going to start drinking coffee and will stop when i either feel awake or have transcended the physical plane of existence and manifested this novel in complete form. happy 2026 folks.

We're open for fiction submissions! We publish unsettling bad time stories that straddle the horror, fantasy, and science fiction spectrum. But genre is made up so if you have a dark weird horrible story that could be a fit, send it in and let us worry about it. No closing date, open indefinitely.

I read 65 books in 2025 and here are just some of my favorites (the novella clearly had a moment for me this year!). Highly recommend you check out all of these books for yourself, as well as the other works by these amazing authors. (Titles and authors threaded/in the alt text.)

The Handmaiden (2016) 🍭💦

so, fun fact? The Iron Garden Sutra is coming out on *exactly* the day i started writing it, which means it took 4 years on the dot for this book to go from idea to bookshelf. i also had to query to get my agent, go on sub with it, etc... so that adds to the timeline.

i was getting a chocolate croissant in Paris, and Hilary Swank was also getting a chocolate croissant. i said nothing. we never made eye contact.

It's time to finally talk about my favourite books of 2025, so I made a list, without any kind of order, that pretty much covers it. It may be great to fill your TBR! You can check it here: jamreads.com/articles/my-... 💙📚

The Iron Garden Sutra appears on the same page as a Sanderson book and a Kamilah Cole book. wild stuff.
