Tomorrow night at the Bryant Lake Bowl at 7! Come hear stories from me and Cole Sarar, with backing music by Martin Law! It's going to be a good time, come on out, MSP!

@bookshop.org Hey you need to up your presence here, please! Those of us who fight for indie bookshops on @bsky.app could use a strong ally💖💖

White girl with nose ring here (well, nosepin). You're sad because Earth is in conjunction with orange Hell and hope is in retrograde. Unfortunately, this transit is expected to last for approximately two and a half more years, though a favourable shift may bring some relief in early November.

I’ve been reading this book slowly. It’s full of my notes and highlights. A renowned Yale historian draws parallels with the past and explains why the risk of another Great Power war is growing. For those trying to understand what mistakes from the past we are repeating now.

Yeah, I don't like being someone swayed by a gorgeous sprayed edge but....I am swayed by a gorgeous sprayed edge.

I will increase my Patreon $$ tonight help with the vet💖

A DUBIOUS CLAMOR comes out a week from today, so there's still time to preorder! Multiple options here: hornedlarkpress.com/product/a-du...

a Black family dancing to korn with their astronaut relative who just got back from the moon is, quite frankly, the best thing the internet has ever produced

Incredibly, Your House Will Be Pay made this list of the 50 best thrillers of the 21st Century. It is probably the 50th bestselling book on there, and I’m grateful to everyone who included it in their ballots.

I watched two (2) Coyote vs ACME fanvids (they were great and I will link them in the mixtape next week) and because the TikTok algorithm is the way it is, I'm now deep into Coyote/Roadrunner fandom.

"Im done. No disrespect. Ive come to u like man. If u give me the same respect I gave u then I'll walk out of here. If not then I guess we gonna find out how much blood 3 men hold" Anthony said WIP HIGHWAY FULL OF NIGHT

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.

If you missed it earlier -- and hey, I can't blame you, since did -- I have a new essay out in Uncanny Magazine: www.uncannymagazine.com/article/port...

Portrayals of Disability and Anxiety in NPC Peacock’s The Copenhagen Test - Uncanny Magazine

The man has to run. Has to. He will die if he doesn’t. Others will die if he doesn’t. Possibly thousands of other people.  He needs to run.  And yet he collapses on the ground, screaming in pain, bare...

For those wondering, yes, this is the absolute essay from hell that I spent months trying and failing to write. The essay is as much about me as it is about The Copenhagen Test.

To be clear: no author has won a Hugo Award in the Novel, Novella, Novelette, Short Story or Series categories at a younger age than @hhpak.bsky.social just did. Astonishing.

An Unofficial Hugo Book Club Blog@hugobookclub.bsky.social · 2w ago

CONGRATULATIONS @hhpak.bsky.social! YOU ARE THE YOUNGEST-EVER WINNER OF A HUGO AWARD IN A PROSE CATEGORY! YOU BEAT THE RECORD HELD BY GEORGE R.R. MARTIN WHO WAS 26 YEARS AND 10 MONTHS OLD WHEN HE WON FOR "A SONG FOR LYA" IN 1975!

Hey friends, especially Minnesota friends! Two weeks from today I am having a book launch party at @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social for A DUBIOUS CLAMOR, and you're invited! Conversation with @naomikritzer.bsky.social ! Free event, free cake! (books still cost money) Come on out and join us!

“Human fracking” is one of the best descriptions of generative models I have ever heard #LAConV

I appreciate all the volunteers who make the Hugo Awards function. It's a lot of niche, invisible work. But this is another year where I read the Hugo Admin report and felt demoralized.

You can preorder directly from us to support a small Canadian press; you’ll get $5 off plus some stickers and goodies! BUT this page also includes handy links at the bottom to other vendors you might prefer, like Bookshop and such:

Yes this

Marjorie Taylor Greene of all people has issued a written statement condemning Laura Loomer's rhetoric. Do Democrats care?

It would be nice if a single Democratic leader issued a statement defending their Black women colleagues after Laura Loomer called Angie Nixon, Reps. Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, former Rep. Cori Bush, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson "ghetto, entitled, race-obsessed, destructive black BITCHES"
