Just spotted this: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS for emerging BIPOC writers in Canada: an opportunity to work with Lindsay Wong arsenalpulp.com/News/2025/CA...

Do you hear the excited noises I'm making? Are they because my story "The Humming of Tamed Dragons" is out in the current issue of @asimovssfmag.bsky.social ? Why yes they are!

I used to write annual blog posts about my reading, but lately I've had a stretch where reading's difficult. It's hard work both to read and to get what I want from the experience. Tracking covers pictorially is part of how I'm recovering. So here's 2024.

If I ever become the Patron Saint of something it will probably be throwing out the expired and rotten food in the work fridge.

Despite the impending Canada Post strike risk, you should follow Bakka Phoenix! They're a specialty #SFFH #bookstore in Toronto that carries a lot, can get anything, and ships all over. And they're super nice!

RIGHT! Four of my books are still on sale over at @solarisbooks.bsky.social ! :D For a whole NINETY AND NINE CENTS you can get some quality, award-winning horror of various lengths! And many other ebooks are on sale too! rebellionpublishing.com/sale/

Poking all my same-age friends who might remember the heydey of Hardy Boys era Shawn Cassidy, because Jin of BTS has released a bop that is 100% that flavour of pure seventies delight. youtu.be/PWjZ3p1jNho?...

Writing about an adolescent bobcat with an elder tabby in my lap. Yesterday he consented to be photographed.

Drawing creepy gravestone girls in the center of the center of the universe, while my wife dines on oysters on the edge of Canada.

My cat would like you all to know that I am deeply boring and should definitely try harder.

A quick welcome to everyone who has followed me over the past few days! I have not been very present here in recent months… I’m more apt to be posting pictures on Instagram. But I’m glad you’re here, and will hope to have great talks at some future point when I’m more moved in.

My novella "We Who Hunt Alexanders" has been accepted by Apex Book Company @apexmag.bsky.social. In this gothic dark fantasy, a neurodivergent monster deals with her mother's wrong expectations for her life along with religious extremists hunting them down. www.apexbookcompany.com/blogs/frontp...

I’m teaching the @apexmag.bsky.social online workshop "Writing Tips and Strategies for Neurodiverse Writers" on July 20. I wanted to talk a bit about my journey as a neurodiverse writer and what I'll be covering in the workshop. This is very personal for me. 1/ reachyourapex.com/product/writ...

Told spouse how I resent not only how much WORK it's taking me to recover from last 8+ years, but how much TIME. He pointed out in a humane society burnout is treated as an illness. You'd get 6 months, a year, at 60 or 80% pay so you could STOP WORKING (the only "cure" for burnout) and REST.

Ottawa! DRESSED AS PEOPLE, a play by @alyxdellamonica.bsky.social, @amalelmohtar.com, and me, is at the Ottawa Fringe starting tomorrow! ottawafringe.com/show/dressed...

Kelly’s new story is out and it is amazing. Go, read, enjoy!

A mini film fest with @alyxdellamonica.bsky.social at the TIFF Lightbox this past weekend. We saw Perfect Days and Problemista, two movies that could not be more different Quiet, introspective, expansive: tiff.net/events/perfe... Loud, hyper, bizarre: tiff.net/events/probl...

My wonderful Kelly has a creepy AF and beautifully written story out today. Go, look, read! Get chilled right down to your marrow.

Happy birthday to @alyxdellamonica.bsky.social! Celebrate by joining us for lunch on an episode of Eating the Fantastic — during which you'll hear them recite a bit of doggerel they wrote at five years old — and learn which run of comics made her a Marvel fan. www.scottedelman.com/2018/06/15/j...

It is so dry that my hair sparks when brushed and after I’m done brushing the actual hairbrush continues to crackle audibly.

I am devastated. Michael Bishop was too good to lose. I dislike getting or giving this kind of news through social media, but I guess that’s how we do it now. I loved him so much. Getting to know him was the greatest gift.

I was 20313 days old the first time a squirrel jumped into the building hot tub with me. Man can the young ones swim fast!

Pleased as punch that my pandemic gothic novella I COULD BE YOUR FAMILY TOO will be published by Interstellar Flight Press. I wrote it at the height of lockdown to process the rise of anti-Asian racism, among other things.

Last year, I pitched Angela Watercutter & WIRED on a “futures of entertainment” piece. Now it’s the wrapper for a whole package about #AI, #WGAstrike, #SAGAFTRAstrike, and more: https://www.wired.com/story/hollywoods-future-belongs-to-people-not-machines/

Today I am taking a very few and very tiny steps into learning a little about Bluesky.

It's not just that they understand/admit how evil this is. It's that they understand that most WGA writers fighting for better pay have less than 5-6 months of savings. And they want to punish that desire for better pay by exploiting the financial insecurity THAT THEY CAUSED.

I have a new scifi story in Rolling Stone's "future of music" issue, which is about a future where surgically implanted earbuds allow humans to hear at such low frequencies that whale songs become audible. Whale concerts!!
