I took a break and made a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and started a pot of simmering Costco chicken leftovers to make chicken noodle soup for dinner. Now back to writing. This is not a bad day.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

It's the end of the Year of the Snake 🐍 💖 #illustration #lunarNewYear

To hell with the small life. I am not exquisite. Cannot sing like bone china. This is the blue hour. I swim in it, alone and perfectly. 'The Blue Hour' Angelina D'Roza £2 off until 20 February longbarrowpress.com/current-publ...

Getting back to writing after my week off. I have two stories patiently waiting for revisions. Let’s go! 💙📚📝 #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

GENTLECREATURES! Please consider supporting my friend 🌱 Every little bit helps, truly. As a bonus, it also comforts her friends who are worried about her (that's me!), so please give what you can for her safety (and my peace of mind). I appreciate your kindness more than I can say.

some rainbows for your workweek

What if instead of pretzel twisting classics into something they’re not, we just make new stories the way we want them?

Having gone through two personal level crises when trying to promote a new book during years with large-level crises also going on (2020 and this year), I imagine so many great books/authors have gotten lost for similar reasons. It's hard out there for authors, so please shout about books you love.

We're open for submissions for several horror themed anthologies.  Check out the link if you want a flavour for the audio side of things.  #submissioncalls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LW-5JGr2NY

Does your university use ChatGPT Edu? Please send me a DM if you do. I have identified a potential data breach affecting students' data that has not yet been fixed and I'm trying to compile further examples from other universities. Reposts appreciated!

After almost hitting "checkout" on that all-too-easy shopping site, I decided to look up indie book stores near me. I found a helpful site. And, while there weren't any near me, there were some near enough that I could plan to drive there. Also, many of them ship. www.readlocalbc.ca/resources/bo...

The Ghost Brothers wish you a happy Valentine’s Day. 💌

My book is finally in-stock at Blackwell’s! blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Vaccines are safe & effective—and the fact that our nation's top health official won't say that is ludicrous.   These numbers are a direct result of RFK Jr. & his anti-vax conspiracy theories, and it's putting Americans' health at risk.

Happy Valentine's Day to anyone who's ever become smitten with a fictional character. 💙📚

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

ICE is still in my Minneapolis neighborhood today.

I have a new couch! 🛋️ I’m not used to not sinking halfway into it. 😆 It might be the state of the world, but this makes me unreasonably happy. 😊

We don’t have to pit Emily Brontë and Jane Austen against one another. We can just acknowledge that they wrote different things. Both of those things can be good, even. More than one type of woman is allowed to exist.

A thread of sheep. Just what the doctor ordered

my fundraiser is live !!!!!! im so proud of myself for doing this 🥹❤️‍🩹

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

I had one of those good days where I started out with a lot of problems to solve and everything just fell into place and went smoothly. It doesn't happen often, so I'm going to enjoy it. Very grateful. I hope you got some of that good luck too.

This one came out before the election and…you know. Anyway, it got some amazing nods—Stoker, Locus, glowing NYT review, NPR—but never took off. Seeing it getting love this week for being 100% boricua? Yeah…agradecido. Oh, and it’s on sale! Mil gracias. Much love. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

Hope you get to make art today.

The SAVE America Act would impose outrageous voter suppression requirements on American citizens. One example: married women who take their spouse’s name & whose last name may not match their birth certificate. Do they not get to vote? This bill is DOA in the Senate.

Magick often hides in the mundane. A quiet moment, a favourite cup of tea, or noticing a stray sunbeam can be its own ritual. ✨ #WitchSky

I think bad men should be very worried that Galentine's Day is falling on Friday the 13th.

Your writing is great and your thoughts are valuable and whatever you’re reporting is insightful and will illuminate my thoughts, but I won’t read it because you posted it on the transphobic Nazi blog network

I was on the SFWA committee to create the first-ever Nebula Award for poetry and it is live for nominations. Deadline 3/1. Please nominate at least one poem! www.sfwa.org/2025-ne...

The Hugo nomination period is officially open, which seems like a good time to remind folks about my links post gathering eligibility and recommendations from others. I'll continue to update through the nomination period so keep sending links my way! acwise.net/what-have-yo...

Once again, if anyone knows of any remote full-time, part-time, or freelance jobs, I would be extremely grateful. I have nearly two decades of writing and editing experience, focused SEO experience, and a decade of teaching experience.

We've almost hit the third milestone goal on this. My deepest thanks to everyone who has contributed or shared! 💜💜

When you remove the old couch to prepare for the delivery of the new couch and see the carpet and the baseboard heater 🤢

This week I'm working on some much needed house projects while False Spring lasts. It's good to take a break from writing every once and a while. I have a feeling I'll come back to it much clearer than when I left. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky 💙📚📝

things have not changed here. please, if you’re not in minnesota, do not look away. please prepare where you are. this is what they’ll do to your community next.

I'm publishing a queer fantasy story on the first of every month this year, alternating between reprints and exclusive new releases with the goal to build up my readership over here. February is this one, March is gay isekai ✨

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Putting Red Ogre Review on my Do Not Sub list was the right decision.

Protect your heart from breaking by padding it with soft cheese.

Today I once again realized the slower my pace, the faster the run. I will not learn from this. 🏃🏻‍♀️

The irony of the Seahawks (a football team with Native American Iconography) beating the “Patriots” in one of the gayest locations in the country (SF Bay Area) with performances by a Latin American Artist (Bad Bunny) and an anti-gov punk rock band (Green Day). It’s like the stars aligned on this one
