‘Hey, Dad! What do you think of my imaginary girlfriend?’ ‘Ok, son, I’ll play along with your #illusive game. I think you can do better.’ ‘Gee thanks, Dad.’ ‘I wasn’t talking to you.’ #vss365

Gurathin sighed and rubbed his face and looked off into the distance, like he regretted all his life choices that had led to him standing here right now.

Tuckerization?? you mean you want to fuse my daughter and a household pet into some kind of talking monstrosity??

This morning I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out where my parent took me to during part of our visit to Japan when I was ten. My best guess is that one place was in Shizuoka. It was cloudy that and we couldn't see much of Mount Fuji.

Here’s Josie enjoying the last little bits of our donated Christmas trees that have been preserved out in the cold. Did you know Josie is 45 years old? She and her best friend Nicholas are happy, healthy seniors.

I am a trans writer of mostly short stories, and you can read a lot of them from the links here!

Daily bunny no.3269 still orders out occasionally

I've been sick this week so I keep forgetting to boost this: Platform Decay, the next Murderbot book, is part of the Preorder 25% off sale at Barnes and Noble: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/platform-d... So is the trade paperback of Queen Demon

Editing is like the hokey pokey for me: I'm taking stuff out, putting stuff in, shaking it all about... Also, I finally found the block quotes button in Scrivener, TIL. Wish I'd thought about it several books ago!

My semi-regular reminder: if you are looking to cook more beans and eat more beans, may I suggest epazote? It makes beans tasty and easier to digest! Penzey's has a great one, and a little goes a long way

So excited to have a story amongst the brilliant flash fiction of Neither Fish Nor Foul today. Thanks ever so much to editor @jackmmorris.bsky.social for including this weird/beloved wee fella. #flash #fiction

I wrote about Starfleet Academy and the reasons why it's so challenging to mix Star Trek and YA buttondown.com/charliejane/... (just to be clear, I really enjoyed Starfleet Academy and felt it handled these challenges admirably!)

I've been reading the novel I finished drafting last week. It's messy and wacky, like a first draft of mine should be.

I used to be divided by days as numbers, rows of black needles on whitestwhite screens. Then I was divided as an orange, a dry kiss in reverse. Now I #divide & multiply simultaneously, infinitely. Light thru trees. A part that was inside coaxed out, like a sea star, devouring the universe #vss365

Shout out to everyone who only just learned that DC Comics has been publishing the adventures of an adorable super-powered trans lesbian for a couple years now.

THE MANY-COLORED LAND (1982) Acrylic I loved Julian May’s “Pliocene Exile” series, but I never felt like I did the books justice. I remember struggling to come up with dramatic concepts for this, but Del Rey didn’t go for them. 1/3

I am beginning to import the Torn Veils universe to SquidgeWorld archive. It's been in progress for decades. Alternate earth, alternate history, supernatural beings, sex and violence... The first part, which is the tale of a primary supporting character, is here: squidgeworld.org/works/90201

I've read a bunch of books lately where the main character is a trainwreck who hooks up with tons of people. That's totally fine. But here's my plea: Can we occasionally see happy sluts who hook up with tons of people because they enjoy sex? buttondown.com/charliejane/...

Okay, I'll confess: I did put a lemon pound cake into Daughters of Eris! Superheroes and retired villains alike have to power up somehow! books2read.com/u/38wjyd

i'll tell you what...markwayne isn't very bright

I used to love the kitchen, snacks tumbling from cupboards just as I got peckish. I used to love the attic stuffed with bookshelves--the closest thing I'd found to the inside of my own head. I loved it all, right to the day the house stood up & walked away. Hope she's happy, somewhere out there.
