Hector Quesadilla is a fan!

it's our admission to the shire

amid the whirl of woe he feels, a deep stupor steals over him, as over the man who bleeds to death

Einstein introduces the concept of special relativity in 1905. After that incongruity became the norm in the space-time continuum. See you in 8 years--or sooner?

Given the way things are right now, I'm going to point people at ALPHA AND OMEGA, my supernatural Middle East thriller. I'm not 100% happy with it, having had some changes forced on me my editorial fiat. But it's more relevant than I ever dreamt it would be. www.amazon.com/Alpha-Omega-...

Congrats to the Empress of Horror Fiction, Ellen Datlow, for her NIGHT & DAY anthology making it to the Shirley Jackson Award finals! It's an excellent anthology, so many great horror writers! @datlow.bsky.social @sagapressbooks.bsky.social

Whoopsy 😬

We're building 200,000 new affordable homes for New Yorkers. We're using every tool we have to fix our housing crisis. Block by Block is the boldest housing plan our City has seen this century. It is what New Yorkers have been demanding for decades. Learn more about our plan here:

Saw the Broadway revival in 2000, after having been a veteran of cosplay (waves hand) showings of the film at Chicago's Biograph Theatre in the late '70s. Yes, we need national subversion. "Don't Dream It--Be It."

So much for Prime. Guess my books aren't going to arrive by tomorrow.

The Electric Mess (outta Brooklyn) are great! Their "Girl with the Exploding Dress" is magnificent garage psychedelia.

By the time this is approved Americans will be using $250 bills to gas up at the pumps--so it kinda goes with the territory.

A good reminder that even vast wealth can't buy good taste. #WhiteTrashWH

Not worth the rage. They'll just wind up as talking heads on Fox.

All You Need Is Lunch. (I win!)

If you'll be at Balticon Sunday morning, I hope you'll attend Eating the Fantastic's 10th anniversary party in the Con Suite from 10:00-11:00 a.m., where there'll be donuts and door prizes. Celebrate in the city where it all began!

You bought one of those damn bootleg chips on Astor Place, didjna?

In school we just left it at "Gravity sucks."

DON'T BREATHE is coming in October. What if COVID had a mortality rate of 10-15%, not just--just!--1%? How messed up would our lives and politics have been? I do my best to answer. Preorders really help books. Thanks! www.amazon.com/Dont-Breathe...

Because this country likes to forget what it’s capable of, I take it as a duty to remind us. We sit at the brink of the largest decimation of Black political power since the fall of Reconstruction — a Second Redemption. And the end of Black political power means the end of democracy itself.

The institutional convention rubber-chicken purveyors are considering banning you from the premises.

I'm reading this right now. The legendary Vonda McIntyre's final novel, edited by @nisishawl.bsky.social, out from Aqueduct Press. A feminist Minoan alternate history. Stunning. Sci-fi author's last novel links ancient Minoans and Pacific Northwest share.google/Q0fSTMO2U69r...

Ooh!

This is Musks's blueprint for a Space X splashdown.

Remember the Strugatsky's "Roadside Picnic"? Stay out of the Zone. Leave it and its garbage to the Stalkers.

Sounds like a Magic 8-Ball query.

I saw her sing the role of Mimi in the Public Theatre’s staging of Puccini’s opera La Boheme in 1984. Quite a career trajectory.

“Republicans will try to use this to say it’s illegitimate for ANY community of color to elect their candidate of choice. Not just in the South.” Election lawyer @marceelias sounds the alarm 🚨 about “the worst SCOTUS decision of my lifetime”

Reposting this insight does NOT mean being happy about it.

Ain't coincidence when you're doin' the time warp.

Them days!

Saw them not quite 2 years ago here in Toronto and they were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend seeing them if you can.

They should be listed right after Lennon and McCartney in the "Song Writers Hall of Fame". Seen them everywhere from (the old) Giant Stadium to an acoustic set on the back deck of a brew pub. And I can't wait for The Trixies Tour to get here!

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

One of the best concerts we ever saw was Squeeze at Bergen PAC in 2019. Touring their 45th anniversary. Difford & Tilbrook and the band remain grossly underrated.

All hail fusion!
