I had a potato and am tired. However I will get back to it and make something good happen.

My wife didn't crop this photo and send to me with the text, "Bad news about your clones."

what is it intrinsic to the nature of chopped liver that makes it so consistently worth disregarding?

What is reality—and who decides? In The Purpose of Reality (Lunar), Steve Simpson bends perception, language, and meaning into poetry that is fluid and quietly disorienting. #NationalPoetryMonth #Poetry #IndiePress #MeerkatPress @inconstantlight.bsky.social zurl.co/JTihY

I got a rejection today but then I got Queen Bee in the NYT spelling bee, so things have a way of working out

I'm so angry that someone defecated in my shit sandwich.

Okay, here's something else for everyone to do: Look at all of the folks obviously running for president (Booker, Murphy) on their non-Congressional accounts, and see how they're responding to Trump's bomb threats. Push them on their response.

beep boop

Excited to read this one from @jacklegpress.bsky.social and awesome @gendeguzman.bsky.social

Okay, all - would appreciate your help. I got RIF’ed in January, and am in the market for a comms job. Please help with your best contacts/referrals? Thank you!

Dimova's books are SO FUN. Absolutely loved her Foul Days series and can't wait for this one.

This book is so much better than any cute-arrow-meme! It carves into the marrow of fantasy. The creatures we elevate, the powers we deform ourselves to accept. But also: romance! Humor, horror, and a broken, resilient protag. (This book is also far better than all comps to this book. Come at me.)

My kid isn't an only child he is a standalone with series potential.

This would be a good moment for top editors in our major news organizations to call a meeting to announce to their staff that Trump has lost his mind and you don’t have to cover him like he’s normal anymore.

We're being governed by the Underpants Fascists. 1) Kidnap foreign president. 2) ??? 3) Thousand-Year Reich!

Finally, a publisher who understands that ASUNDER is so good it broke the scale. 15 out of 01 stars!

Friend of mine is extolling the virtues of swiss chard and I said, "I don't know, I'm neutral." So now I am giggling madly while nobody respects my dadjoke game.

I’m a big fan of timelapses bc they show the multiple mental breakdowns I experience per drawing. I’ve heard some artists draw by knowing what they want a thing to look like and this is insane to me. I draw by going through every possible permutation of wrong for every single detail

This is a great example that the US president is a lunatic. Listen carefully 🙈

Having recently read Deep Water, Strangers on a Train, and now making my way through the entirety of the Mr. Ripley canon, I still have to say my favorite Patricia Highsmith character is George Santos.

What I want, what I dream of, is instead of Project 2025, CONSEQUENCES 2029. That is the whole platform. Everything else is secondary.

“I’m dying.” His tone was matter-of-fact and his expression perfectly serious, but Karys had the feeling he might be making fun of her—exaggerating, or telling a strange sort of joke at her expense. Her mistrust mounted as she scrutinised his face. “You talk a lot for a dying man,” she said.

If you like an author's work and want them to continue to write, the best thing you can do is send me money.

I may be lacking in some regards, but my assortment of dried chili peppers is not one of them.

I was raised in a family in which the NYT was the adjudicator of reality. It's been a long few decades. Still, I've been learning. However, I must say, after careful reflection, what the holy fuckfathom have they been doing?

Collecting these to send along to Senate Democrats. You don't need to give your name or contact info and if you do, I won't pass it along.

Hi all, would you perchance like to read my book for free?

One of my favourite novels of the last few years. Pick it up.

Whoa, I didn't see this coming! Is the party of 'Drown American Gov't in Bathtub' and 'Be Terrified of the US Government's Help' an enemy of the United States government?

In retrospect, Republicans were correct about media bias against them. For thirty years, I thought they were spouting nonsense--or playing the refs. But they were right, and I was wrong.

A young brilliant friend of mine. Publishers will be fighting over them one day!

Witchcraft. Fuck writing, I'm turning this into a full-time Jackie Venson fan account. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejf_...
