Want to post about other people’s art but don’t know how? I find just yelling out the first cool thing you notice works well. (Skull!) You can refine your thoughts later if you want, but just doing that usually thrills the artist and makes other people look. #artthoughts

@wiswell.bsky.social Happy birthday buddy!

One of the problems of short fiction is *finding* it. There's so much out there, it's hard to know how to find what you'll like. Enter InkFoundry. There are so many ways to search! Search by venue (Small Wonders, for example), by author, by tags... or have the site surprise you ! inkfoundry.net

It is my birthday tomorrow! If you want to do something for me, I have a big request. Think of somebody in your life who is struggling. Make them soup. Play a videogame with them. Help get their window unstuck. You don't know how far a little goodness can go. But I believe in you.

I have a new story out in Orion's Belt! "Five Different Realities to Explore, and One to Avoid" asks the important questions, like, what if you were ten and had an axe www.orions-belt.net/archives/fiv...

My Nebula Finalist short story "The Witch Trap" is now free to read in The Dark! The entire issue is stunning and I'm so pleased to have a place in it! www.thedarkmagazine.com/the-witch-tr...

It’s midnight! That means Witch You Would is OUT NOW AHHH! Sorry I’m going to be insufferable for a minute. Also, please come to the party!

I'm in this! With a little fabulist story about bird mom problems aka what happens when you have an immigrant parent and the choice to assimilate is made for you.

I have a reprint out in this, with many other fabulous authors! "The Last Items of the Forgotten Hero, or the Grandchild's First Dragon" is about what happens after you save the world, and have to babysit your grandchild. Now available to order at the link below!

My story, “Gracie and Leelanau Save the Worst Boy at Camp One-Pine,” is in this issue! Gracie has to save the camp bully from being eaten alive by forest gods, which is NOT as fun as making friendship bracelets would have been

Excited to say I’m in this Air and Nothingness anthology with a little story of a man who walks the same streets, everyday. Aan is such a beacon of art in this community, and I can’t wait to see the book in print.

🧵 One time I went to a paint-your-own-decorative-board place. I chose a seascape with a lighthouse. They give you stencils so each painting comes out identical. When I was done, I added a huge tentacle, painted free-hand, rising out of the waves. (1)
