Saying “This is not good timing for me” in response to your kid’s wedding invitation is kind of the ultimate narcissistic statement.

The problem with deciding not to kill off a character is that you then have to decide what to do with them for the rest of the story.

And you maye aske yourselfe "Why ys thys bow made of burninge golde?" And you maye aske yourselfe "Wher are my arrowes of desyre?" And you maye telle yourselfe "These are not my spear and unfoldinge cloudes" And you maye telle yourselfe "Thys ys not my chariot of fyre"

I still think of this book in odd moments as I navigate life in the Now. Had to import my copy from a UK bookseller as it hasn’t been published in the US. Worth it.

Related: I remember going on a hike at camp, and the only ones of us who made it to the top were the one counselor and two of us kids who didn’t smoke. Never forgot that.

Heck, there was even a smoking area at Girl Scout Camp, and not just for counselors.

I wonder just how many hours have been lost to organizations relying on voice menus, hold software, and huge centralized call centers instead of paying for local humans at local locations who know what’s going on and are connected to other local humans who can do the things that need doing.

The first rule of fight club … I mean dealing with the fey … is …

My edgy Covid take is that not seeing people in person was hard, but not as hard as realizing how many people were willing to sacrifice those weaker than them so that they could get back to seeing people in person. I’m still not over that realization. I still don’t know what to do with it.

Research on COVID is being hampered by a lack of interest by publishers and funding, imo. Considering we are only about 7 years into a brand-new disease, we lost interest pretty quickly.

I’m not shivering, you’re shivering.

**gently grabs your face** Listen, the world is full of so many horrors--things out of our direct control. We do what we can, as we can. But there's no magick button labeled Fix This Now. It's important to reach toward joy. Take your meds. Have a snack. Make plans. Laugh. Look at the damn moon.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Phobos and Deimos is a science fiction graphic novel about a teenage refugee from Mars while Earth is run by a dubious algorithm. I don’t like that it’s been getting more relevant since it came out. bookshop.org/p/books/phob...

GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR is a slow-burn superhero origin story told as teen romance. Its about how being trans is beautiful and how queer love is transformative. There's also a hilarious talking dog. I made it with @deuxdel.bsky.social and @airy.bsky.social. bookshop.org/p/books/gala...

I write a trans-centric magical girl series that's full of action, feelings, and rock music. They're available in ebook, print, and audiobook formats (read by a trans voice actor).

I wrote a book about *how far away the moon is* and it didn't cross my mind to re-promote it until Erin posted this thread. This is why I am neither rich of successful. Nevertheless: I wrote a kids' book that folds out to 5 feet across to give you an accurate scale model of the solar system!
