There are these new "super stuffed" Pop-tarts (with 50% more filling) and I don't know where to turn for the essential coverage now that Book Fight isn't around. @tmcallister.bsky.social @mikeingram.bsky.social - hope you guys have seen them in stores. The caramel ones are good!

Aw, man, Rogue Brewing just shut down? That one really hurts. Probably my favorite brewer, definitely my favorite beer. Just 8 days ago I published a book including a story about their Dead Guy and one of my favorite Saturdays playing Gauntlet. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FY1VMCKT

Not only did the oldest give me a chance to demo how the moon's phases and eclipses work (using apple, orange, and flashlight), but she said thanks afterword. That's one for the Dad files!

If you live anywhere vaguely northish, go outside and check the sky. Friends in unlikely places like Indiana and Colorado are seeing the aurora tonight.

Very weird timeline conjunction:

Took care of a project today that's been on the to-do list since I moved in 5 years ago. Took me all day, but feels good. Just a little paint touch-up tomorrow to wrap it up.

Halfway through my reflexive "You know, 'the la' is redundant, and you only need la--" I realize that "the latrine" is not actually in the same category as "the La Brea tar pits" and "the La Trattoria."

So, nu: the color book has another new title, and while I love A Trick of Light, I'm also trusting the team that has to market this weird, sprawling narrative and convince y'all to buy a copy in hardcover for $29.98 (plus tax). Name and cover TK! Preorder links as soon as I have them!

Still accepting pitches for this @barrelhouse.bsky.social book series. But please read the description of what we're looking for! (hint: it's not your novel, though I'm sure your novel is lovely) www.barrelhousemag.com/submission-i...

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

Three dollars?! I have 103.5 hours on this game. That's like 30 hours per dollar of enjoyment, and then some. You will enjoy it more than half a latte. You will enjoy it more than a fifth of a sandwich. You will enjoy it more than one sixth of a movie. It's a really, really good deal.

Might have found the perfect author photo for my book about beer and video games. Here I am pictured with what I call my gateway drug, Honey Brown beer, and lots of Magic: The Gathering cards (as a precursor to Hearthstone).
