As a bonus, EVERYONE who backs a paperback or hardcover tier on my Kickstarter will receive the art on a postcard! This is going to be the only way to get it unless you meet me at an in-person event, so if you want this magic in your life, here's your chance. 🥰 www.kickstarter.com/projects/cas...

I'm so excited to share this incredible art by @hellopainapple.bsky.social for my Sage's Sanctuary series!! I love it SO much. It just perfectly captures Yora's whole vibe: ready to take life by the horns and reveling in the joy of it, with a dragon at her back. 💖

They've lost the 9yos

This feels like a @maxgladstone.bsky.social thing for some reason

I feel bad when I have to correct Z because our language is dumb. Like she says "runned" or "bringed" and that SHOULD be right, but ...

This whole trend feels gross to me. Not fanfic, obviously, or even publishing fanfic-as-original necessarily, but the "publishing fanfic-as-original but we're marketing it *as the fanfic version*." Like that's just ... blatantly trading on someone else's IP?

Conversations with three year olds: Z: Mommy told me the wrong week. Me: [???] Well, I'm sure she just made a mistake. Me: Everyone makes mistakes. Even Daddy! Z: I do not.

This is all he wants, forever

Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me by @djangowexler.bsky.social completes the duology in the same profane, adorable and bloody (yes, that's a thing) fashion with characters old and new that you just want to spend more time with once it's over. Gold stars for FABULOUS audiobook narration.

I like this -- they fed AITA posts where the humans voted "asshole" to LLMs and found that the bots would almost always tell you that you're not an asshole. ^^; No wonder they're so popular! www.businessinsider.com/reddit-aita-...

Just finally watched WEAPONS and, uh, holy fucking shit

Happy Batman Day!

Reading a book about the Thirty Years War and the most sympathetic character is Swedish Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna. Basically the classic "nerd with the worst job on Earth." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Ox...

It's all about trusting the author. If I don't understand things because I'm not supposed to, and I trust the author, I'm serene in the expectation that a satisfying revelation is coming. If I start to get the feeling the author EXPECTS me to understand but I don't, I'm less sanguine.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

please turn the salience generator knob down thanks

So excited to share that this interview I did with Jenna Moreci on how to write cozy romantasy is now live! I love when an interviewer asks great questions, and I get to die in DEEP. 🥰 youtu.be/HN1Bjw4yzxM

Game company asking me for reviews of the products I ordered before they've even ARRIVED, excellent work guys

I'm so excited to finally get to tell you about these custom cozy fantasy book sleeves designed by the incredible Charming Chapters! 😍 They're only available as part of The Quiet Light Kickstarter, so don't miss out!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cas...

I need to put out a request for help. My wife, a Senior Technical Product Manager with over a decade of experience.... can't seem to get responses to job applications. Anyone out there know of any PMT (TPM) positions available? We're running real thin now, and can use any help we can get.

Pathfinder: As a compromise solution between killing it and letting it leave (and inevitably betray us) I turned a dragon into a rabbit, which like the dragon torching downs, feels like a bucket list item that all wizards should make a go at at some point.

Z and two of her friends were arguing and one dad asked "Which one of you is the bossiest?" which resulted in all three standing around loudly shouting that the OTHER two are the Bossiest. Real "Illiad For Three Year Olds" energy

SO ANYWAY... I got to work with @realrayporter.bsky.social again. Which means you audiophiles can FINALLY preorder this.

hi hello it has been three days and we are funded *26x over* AND The Quiet Light is now a Project We Love on Kickstarter!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cas...

As ever, actual history knocks Westros into a cocked hat in terms of sheer mind-numbing complexity. "Ok, so the Bohemians revolted because they didn't want to be ruled by Ferdinand. The offered the crown to Fredrick, which needless to say cause the Transylvanians to invade Hungary."

I have ANOTHER cover reveal!! The Quiet Light hardcover edition will have a dust jacket AND a separate hardcase design by @vitkovskayaart.bsky.social! I want to highlight that hardcase art for a hot second here because it is GORGEOUS. 😍 www.kickstarter.com/projects/cas...

Hmm that reminds me, like @catacalypto.bsky.social I can port my favorite Twitter posts. From [AT]Der_Kevin: Tony Stonks Pro Trader

Sometimes Matt Levine links things that make me fear for humanity, or more specifically financial markets... “I like diversifying my investments. So I’ve got some stocks, I’ve got some crypto, and then, I figured I’d try starting a bit of Pokémon investing as well,” said Pryds, a mason apprentice."

struggling to selfie before my ice cream escapes 😂 ice cream DOES make me happy at home. that's like, half the reason this kickstarter (going strong!!) exists: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cas...

Just read and massively enjoyed @djangowexler.bsky.social 's How to Become the Dark Lord And Die Trying and its sequel, Everybody Wants To Rule The World Except Me. Bonkers fun. Very different worlds but evokes both Daniel O'Malley's The Rook (and sequels) and Jay Kristoff's Nevernight.

I recently finished Everybody Wants To Rule The World Except Me, by @djangowexler.bsky.social . Sequel to How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying. Someone from our world gets summoned to a fantasy world, is the prophesized Chosen One to defeat the bad guys. Every time she dies, time resets.

Still going!

I can't wait until Borderlands 4 comes out and I can stop trying to play Silksong

En la otra red social decía el librero de @libreriacyberdark.bsky.social que la novela de @djangowexler.bsky.social era 'Un yanqui en la corte del rey Arturo' con momentos Deadpool (y nos ha encantado. ¿Ya habéis empezado a leer 'Cómo convertirse en Señor Oscuro y morir en el intento'?

New Casey book!

Today's Kafka-esque nightmare -- I used to use 1password but stopped, and I realized today I'm still getting billed. So I try to log in to stop the rebilling, but their stuff is SO SECURE I can no longer get into it. Spectacular.

Honestly I think it would be MORE worrying if she were, like, deriving the Pythagorean theorem

We are educating her correctly

This is one of those things where the opposition mystifies thank to my former profession. Working as a doc writer, we used "they" constantly to refer to the (obviously unknown) future user, to avoid awkward constructions like "his or her": "the user should save their files to the folder..." etc
