I don’t watch videos that start “I was gonna judge down this media product for this reason, but now I’ve decided it’s OK for the following reasons.”

Not sure why senators are putting it on her to stand up to a rogue Secretary of Health (I'm kidding, I can see exactly why they're putting it on her) White people NEEEEEED to stop insisting Black women have to solve everyone's problems.

At drink and draw each prompt has 5 fewer minutes than the prompt before. Our 20 minute prompt was ballet on the bayou and I wish I had an hour to play with this one.

It is a revelation to my students that the cultural phenomenon of "male celebrity that teenage girls love because he's sexy but coded as a bit effeminate, and that their dads hate for the same reason, which makes the girls love him even more" is literally a century old.

Thinking about how Captain America: The First Avenger is a tragedy while Project Hail Mary is the opposite.

Putting "jailbreak an old kindle to run Linux so I can run Zotero and hook directly into JSTOR" on my to-do list www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtk7...

Ugh don’t fill me with fear like this 🫤

the minute they release a JSTOR on your kindle feature I am going to become unstoppable

Planning an event about writing with ADHD, so of course my own ADHD brain has forgotten the name of every writer I know who's ever talked about having ADHD >.<

Readers are posting their hauls from Writers on the River and I am LOVING seeing You're My Favorite and Not All Treasure tucked into these hauls! Someone even got Doms of Dragon Isle and Pretty Little Fairies from me!

I have at least two hours of stultifyingly boring detail-oriented work still to do tonight and I DO NOT WANT. *lays down and opens YouTube

The thing about JKR and telling folks not to buy Harry Potter shit is it isn't because we think it can take away her fortune and platform. She's so rich she would still be rich if she never sold another book It is because it is literally the smallest possible hurdle to clear to value trans lives

The war on ignorance is so important. Thank you librarians.

What to do if you find a baby bunny. Thanks @portmanteauface.bsky.social for the suggestion!

I have been expressing desire for an app that alerts me to the presence of pervert glasses in my vicinity. It exists and it's called Nearby Glasses! Immediate download.

LOVED this event.

Now I wanna make a plush horseradish.

There is a steel-bound cask buried in the backyard. Only on the dark of the Moon can I dig it up and open it for only a moment. Any longer and the muse will escape and torture another innocent soul.

Home from Writers on the River. Got compliments on my: Pedicure Author photo Table decoration And of course my BOOKS I don’t know what more anyone could want from a book signing event! Put it on your calendars for next year! writersontheriver.com #wotr26

This looks so good

who doesn’t love waking up to the news that the guy who is maybe dead and the guy who should almost definitely be dead are both upstaged by the death of a secret third guy

“Don’t speak ill of the dead” goes along with “Let people live their own lives” and “Mind your own business” - that is, a kind of American democratic politeness, what we used to call “manners” - which Mr. Graham helped destroy in this country’s public discourse. So please, no pearl-clutching.

Saw this elsewhere from a well meaning person – if you think women have the bandwidth to take over doing all the labor that the government is no longer doing because it has been dismantled, you’re crazy.

You are not alone if you believe that every American should have access to good affordable health care and the best public schools. You are actually part of an American majority.

David Gerrold is a pioneer in science fiction for both his writing and for being a gay role model. He’s a guest of honor at Readercon and currently telling stories about writing scripts for early Star Trek etc. and also about adopting a son as a single gay parent.

Puppy was scared of the fireworks and went to his deaf dad for comfort. Seems like the dog could understand ASL. 🥰

And Peoria is terribly beautiful. Makes me even more sad for the job I applied for here and didn’t get, years ago. 😄 We are truly on the river!

#QueerWritersChat Question Five: Self promo/outros! Interact with, boost others, and feel free to answer the questions late! DO NOT promo until after you participated in the chat! Theo will be hosting next week! @theodoresnapdragon.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers

A very common thing in our society is a kind of assumed belief that people of different races and sexualities first started appearing anywhere as early as the 1930’s to as late as the 1987 film Mannequin

The point of legislated dehumanization is never just the law itself but the creation of a climate in which institutions become more timid and companies more cautious. Erasure of a people under capitalism arrives first as a thousand risk calculations.

always struck by the audacity when a random website asks if it can send me desktop notifications. why would I say yes to that? I don't even let my email send me desktop notifications. know your place clickbait farm

I have settled on the hashtag #SumLuv for an August "Summer of Love" prompt game for romance writers. Here is a tentative prompt schedule to get hype about 😁 plenty of snippet shares, genre questions, and prompts designed to be interactive with the hashtag Excited to chat to you all next month!!

I am going to a book-signing event where everyone will love and care about books. Books books books. Yes. It's happening. It will be exhausting and I will love it.

Another state-sponsored murder.

OMG this is going to be great *take my money 💰

I hope you were lucky enough to score a pre-event ticket for Writers on the River - 90+ authors in one roooooom - if not, there will be sales at the door! #wotr2026 I'm getting excited! See you there!

Its me.

"My girlfriend just spoke to Mitch McConnell. What's her name? She's from Canada, you wouldn't know her."

As post after post circulated, I couldn’t help but wonder, was I the only person who didn’t get to spend just shy of 20 minutes talking into Mitch McConnell’s ear by phone today?

God, what an exhausting time to have pattern recognition and more than a six month memory.

I thought this was a Law & Order Major Case I hadn’t seen 14 times already, but I was wrong

Why not website if website-shaped 🫤

@romancingthevote.com Also gang, I swear to you, I am worth at least $100 an hour and not above pimping myself out. Wouldn’t you love an hour of someone else telling you what’s awesome about your writing so that you can hold onto it tight tight tight? www.32auctions.com/organization...

Only two and a half hours left on the @romancingthevote.com auction! I can’t leave the house! 😬

My darlings, I'm offering a costume consultation session for @romancingthevote.com . With two hours left, there's still time to snatch this session www.32auctions.com/organization...

For millennia, our ancestors associated the presence of birds with safety. Predators meant silence; birdsong meant it was safe to relax. Your nervous system still carries this ancient knowledge.
