This is a really well thought out blog/post and well worth the read.

Excited to have a story included in this cool anthology!

I am SO happy to announce the table of contents for [RECORDED]: An Anthology of Found Media Stories, coming to haunt you on October 13th, 2026! 🎥 📚💙 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Reminder, this is out in the world. I’ve enjoyed hearing from readers. One reader even told me, “ I really like the layout of Shoreline.”

Seriously, we’ve reached the—we think Nixon was wronged—stage of the decline?!

I wished someone a better day than I was going to have this morning and they responded by wishing me a better day than I thought I was going to face today. Their wish came true and now I am thinking of challenging them to a wish-off every morning.

That feeling when you have a headache and just feel blah, but don’t know if it’s stress, allergies, chronic condition, or an illness coming for you.

Ooooh, we are a little less than $800 from the stretch goal of BUYING MORE STORIES!!! And we have 9 days left! 👀 I am LOVING the stories I've read and y'all. I want an infinite budget 😩 so help make this SLIGHTLY easier on me 😂 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

The eternal fight between morning people and night people rages on. Why are we using a leaf blower at 7:55 AM on a Saturday sir?

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my newest book? In FAMILIAR, two sisters hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall. Think Junji Ito meets Little Women. ghoulish.rip/product/fami...

Who's ready to see the cover art for Issue 4?! @mathless.bsky.social @kapzwrites.bsky.social @e-tolladay.bsky.social @jmbest.bsky.social @shedric.bsky.social @peronelle.bsky.social @roxannekalinda.bsky.social @tonydunnell.bsky.social @harrietward.bsky.social @cpiveral.bsky.social

One year I got an acceptance on my birthday. I’m not sure if anything will top that joy.

Do I post a lot? No. Do I lurk? So much, yes! I’m out here reading your posts and learning from your wonderful lists of things to read and craft and bake and plant and heal. Keep posting, please.

Good morning.

Do you know the best time to submit something to Kaleidotrope?

Home from ICFA, time for a nap. I think I ended up getting 3.5 hours of sleep last night.

Well my ICFA presentation is complete, and my favorite part were the questions after.

Looking forward to seeing old friends and new at ICFA!

War is massacre of people who don't know each other for the profit of people who do know each other but don't massacre each other.

These days are long and exhausting. If you’re out there struggling to find your creative spark just know I’m rooting for you. And Ziggy too!

Looking for recommendations of your favorite SFF/H poem, please.

Who are you reading today?

I try not to be superstitious, but this just showed up and I LOVE Lucille Clifton. I have such a tenuous trust of hope right now and it feels like hope speaking directly to me.

We have entered the lost time days. How do you keep track?

If your story was written by AI, you didn’t actually write it, and that’s why I don’t want it or think it should be eligible for awards. If your story was assisted by AI, you used tools that are built on plagiarism, and that’s why I don’t want it or think it should be eligible for awards.

Very disappointed in the new Nebula Award eligibility information from SFWA that allows partially-generated works to be on the ballot. See 9.11.2. www.sfwa.org/complete-neb... This shouldn't be difficult. #noAI

Current Theme: What, where, when—what?

Current theme: Ennui

Has anyone read Alakazam by Mia Dalia? Thoughts? Thinking of adding it to my to read pile. Needing some weird fun fantasy to carry me through the holidays. #booksky

If you want to know something true about me, ask me, not AI. I too have found weird untruths about myself. *Not amused*

Friends, I just want to gather you up and give you a warm comforting hug. Keep trying— I’m here to celebrate with you even the littlest of wins, like persevering.

Some days, well they really are the worst. And not in a big enough way that complaining helps but in that sort of way where you’re required to update something and it breaks it all. It’s not death by paper-cuts but by kilobytes.

I have just found myself uttering the phrase, “putting Darby O’Gill on Mars doesn’t make it science fiction.” 🤣

I have watched the 1922 Nosferatu Next up the 1979 version which I have never seen
