Happy Christmas to all who celebrate

I just posted this Internet Archive link to Facebook, where the aunts & uncles, grandmas & grandpas who watch 60 Minutes after football games live. It’s important that this story doesn’t just circulate on Bluesky.

We have sworn to be happy. We're militant about it. Art is a tactic. Joy is a weapon.

@grimtrixter.bsky.social is an amazing artist and has a bug business. She is also the sole care giver for her grandma. Her truck was destroyed in a storm, she could use some help. If you can, please donate here: www.gofundme.com/f/aiding-gra... If you can't afford to help, please share.

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

Regarding the SFWA Nebulas and LLMs, I just got: "Earlier today, you received an email titled, “Note from the Board on This Year’s Nebula Rules.” To be clear, SFWA does not support the use of LLM generative models in the production of creative work. " There is more, but they fixed the issue.

Was this leaf turned silver from contact with a unicorn?

The cherry carries the snow with the elegance as it carries flowers in the spring

The fluff!

I long to write about this painting

Proof that turkeys can fly

While the images I was inspired to write Johnny Talon and the Goddess of Love and War were all surreal, the music was all jazz. Every time I hear Miles Davis "It never entered my mind", I find Johnny Talon on mine.

humans have ALWAYS been able to tell stories. it is one of our oldest and dearest accomplishments. children tend to be very good at it. i am sick and tired of greedy adults trying to make kids (everybody, really, but ESPECIALLY kids) feel like suddenly they can't possibly do it on their own anymore

Yes, Anthropic stole from me. It took me a year to write that book. Claim filed successfully. Now I wait.

The unicorns, my family, and I wish you awareness of all you have to be thankful of and the wisdom to help those who need you. Thank you for being in our lives.

Dinosaurs, not unicorns.

This is a me thing, but a silly one. I've finally heard a Taylor Swift song that wasn't instantly forgettable to me.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Not a unicorn

Looking for an artist willing to illustrate scenes from my novel Johnny Talon and the Goddess of Love and War. My goal is to use these images in advertisements & social networking. Please DM me if interested. No AI images.

You know that covid zoom meeting trend where folks didn't bother to put on pants to attend meetings? In my dream, this was extended to the return to office crowd. Some of the folks in my dream have interesting taste in undies.

When you discover the leak during the rinse cycle…..

Why am I posting about a book that is not yet published? I just reread a chapter and it brought me to tears, good healing tears. Absinthe and Alchemy, seeking representation.

This extract from Henri Gerbault’s “La Faunesse qui a ete visiter l’Exposition” showing the doting grandmother and the child is so heart warming I had to include something similar in my novel, Absinthe and Alchemy, seeking representation.

A reflection of my hands as I reflect on the view of Post Office Square, Boston.

New report on writers and the use of gen AI and their views of it, including an entirely predictable set of reactions from fiction writers who do/don't use AI in their work www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

This was an interesting interview. Turns out there is more about me than good books and bad puns. Hard to imagine, but still. youtu.be/vIjH-P08hco?...

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

I'm from Trinidad & Tobago. I can't tell you how many horrible things have been going on here since we elected a Trump friendly government in Apr via low voter turnout, as happened in the US. But today, after having us under a State of Emergency for months, they've called out all armed forces. 1/3

I don't remember when I encountered Henri Gerbault's "La Faunesse qui a ete visiter l'Exposition" for the first time, but this remarkable work of art inspired my approach to Absinthe and Alchemy. The novel is now complete at 93,000 words and I'm seeking representation in the query trenches.

I understand you wish to learn the secrets of the unicorn. I have just the tome for you: www.amazon.com/Reality-Myth...

Maya Williams ran a workshop on writing poetry regarding grief yesterday. I treasure these workshops, run by @masspoetry. Each time I attend, my skill at writing poetry expands. Thank you Maya.

They got this close before our cat chased them away.

I am glad some friends dropped by to take a small repast as they look for unicorns.

Though I know this is the start of a scam, I do want to respond with damn right I am and proud of it!

All of my beta readers and the editor I've hired for Absinthe and Alchemy have given me great feedback. Perhaps the most encouraging was hearing from one beta reader yesterday that she wanted more and encouraged a longer novel & a sequel. Cool. I'm in the query trenches, with hope.

Con-artists going after authors, however this particular author has a day job…… wbjwilliams.wordpress.com/2025/10/03/c...

Looking forward to this! See you in Louisville in July! www.entertheimaginarium.com/2025/10/01/i...

I am not a fan of using the f word as a swear done right, f*ing is one of the delights of living I think too many forget to strive to live so that f*ing is a delight for all involved I'm not afraid to write books like Johnny Talon and the Goddess of Love & War Its a f*ing book! Deliberately

The one thing that I've not yet seen said about T sending soldiers to fight antifa is that, in defining those who are against fascism as against him, he has admitted that he is a fascist.

The thieves have to pay: authorsguild.org/advocacy/art...

How am I resisting? Remaining myself, creating, and not letting others define what is worthy of my time. Should my latest get published, there is a lot in Absinthe & Alchemy about there here & now.
