🖤💜 Happy international asexuality day! 🖤💜🐀 (oldie but goldie)

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

Thrilled to announce that my short story "For Limited Appearances" will appear in Flame Tree Press' new Folklore Horror anthology! Loosely based on Northern Greece's carnival traditions, I'm so excited to share modern folklore for a change, especially with a story so close to my heart.

The most depressing part about job-hunting currently is having to keep removing all the AI training jobs that keep popping up in my searches.

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

the fact that none of my friends have sent me this in the 2h it's been live is a betrayal i'll never get over

Reading Martha Wells's Network Effect, and the line "I had read things that had made me consider other possibilities" has me choking up. Reading--reading anything, fiction or scientific data or social media posts--shows us other possible ways of being. It gives us permission to reshape our lives.

ICYMI, my short story "After The Tone" was included in this week's NoSleep episode! You might want to check your voicemail. 📲

📣 New novel announcement: ANNA DREAMS OF A DEAD REVOLUTIONARY is coming from @tinhouse.bsky.social in 2028. When people ask what it's about, I say it's like SOUR CHERRY, except the haunted house is Greece, and Bluebeard is fascism. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✊ Keep writing your queer, trans, antifascist books, friends.

ICYMI my flash fic about a... peculiar space cult is now out on Manawaker Studio's Flash Fiction Podcast. You can listen to it on the links below! 🌌🚀

Bisexuals! Get visible! It’s bisexual visibility day!

I will never forget how the fully fictional “concerns” of TERFs and billionaires about trans people have contributed to the rapid rise of fascism. There they are, egging it on, not listening to science, history, medicine, and individual experience, fiddling their own prejudices while society burns.

The Deep Ones - I’ve been always thinking about a deep sea Cephalopod theme and here it is! Tentacles and appendages are so different when it comes to arranging the composition so it took me a good while, and hopefully it ends up well! 🦑🐙They’re just like from another world💙

do people realize that when they're like "I only used AI for grammar/whatever" you kinda throw literally everything you ever say, do, or make into question? like... how can I ever trust whatever you turn in or produce to not have AI shit in it? like once you break bad, I can't trust your ass again

Ahh I'm going to miss Murderbot Fridays. What a lovely treat it was at the end of my week.

Amazing news to share!!! Thank you @marthawells.com again for such wonderful books. So excited to continue the adventures of Murderbot, Sanctuary Moon and if you’re lucky, World Hoppers (iykyk) Finale streams tonight. #appletv+ #murderbot

Anyone who knows me knows EXACTLY which story referenced here is mine 😂 The new Cursed Morsels zine bundle is out and you can find not one, but two (!!) of my flash stories in there along with other assorted horrors! Enjoy!

I keep forgetting to post on here but Cymera Fest was amazing as always! Loved getting to chat with so many old and new friends and learn from such talented people. Ofc, a huge highlight of the weekend was definitely how we finally got to do the Greek SFF hang! Love you all! Keep in touch x

Y'all, it's REALLY close and the deadline is TODAY! If you're an EU citizen, please sign and share this petition to ban conversion practices targeting LGBTQ+ citizens in the European Union!! eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

You may see a familiar name TWICE in the TOCs! It was a pleasure working with Eric on these ones!

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

I bought a mini keyboard and mouse to have here so I can write on my desk without ruining my neck (again), and while I understand why for some people silent keys might be a plus, i MISS MY BLUE SWITCHES 🥲

ICYMI I have a short article out discussing proper lab animal handling for all your STEM needs, and why I'm not at all surprised that Spidey's origin story began with a bite 😂🐭

the oldest known d20 was created around the same time

Extract 5/18

Even if the nanowrimo thing was originally a publicity stunt for april fool's day, after the comments it received online, I'd imagine it's definitely real now 😂😅

"if we can't train AI on copyrighted works, then it'll never get to the point where we can make tons of money off of it" ok? how is that anyone else's problem? If I can't rob a bank, then I won't have $20 million tomorrow. Should I be allowed to rob a bank then?

Didn't write a word on the new manuscript today but I managed to edit 3 shorts and send 8 submissions, so I'll call it an afternoon of successful productive procrastination 😤

You know, it’s not like I’m half-assing this, I am actually trying my best despite the fuck-ups.

🥳 NEW DEAL ANNOUNCEMENT (AGAIN...we are killing it, y'all) 🥳 Congratulations to @kennedywrites.bsky.social on their debut deal for THERE USED TO BE PEOPLE, about a Black detective in 1970s Mississippi working a case that goes from standard to not of this world, out in 2026!

Typing 'minimum' is like playing a game of table tennis on the keyboard.

(It sounds like I was calm, but I had no idea what the hell I was going to do.)

I do think it’s important.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Sharks are so lucky

I'm feeling nostalgic for a vacation that I'm 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 experiencing.
