Got to see Spider-Man Brand New Day this weekend and it was very fun. I look forward to my husband and I saying "these potatoes seem meager" in a bad Russian accent to each other until one of us dies.

It's release day for my most anticipated book of the year! I was at my local bookstore when they opened today to pick up my copy. About 60 pages in and it's just as charming as I expected.
John Wiswell@wiswell.bsky.social · 3w agoIt's release day for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS! Garrodigh is a wild dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. But what's waiting for him up there is far stranger than he imagines. I'm so proud of my dragon for finally escaping into the world!
Tried to write at my local brewery today but it was trivia night and the NBA Finals game was on. Just total fucking chaos. It was amazing but my word count took a hit.
If I had a nickel for every new book from an amazing Asian short story writer that starred a female protagonist who lives in the Boston area I read in May...I'd somehow have 2 nickels. Thanks @johnchu.bsky.social and @kenliu.bsky.social for two wild, fantastic rides!

This story is stunning. J.R. Dawson has written several of my favorite stories the last few years and I'm guessing this will be one of my favorites this year.

This story goes hard! It's short, funny, but packs a hell of a punch. I loved it
John Wiswell@wiswell.bsky.social · 4mo agoNew Story Day: "Welcome To Heroism" is out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social! A mysterious app is daring people to increasingly impossible things for a chance at fame. The feats seem so ridiculous that nobody notices they might have some altruistic sides. Could the app have an agenda...?
I'm so excited my next story is being published in Tales of Steel and Sorcery! Check it out!

This is absolutely horrifying. I've refused to visit Texas (my home state) while pregnant given the lack of care and the legal risks should something happen. Sending pregnant children there is truly evil. Abolish ICE.

Starting a thread of things that brought me nerdy joy in 2025, inspired by the great list at Reactor. 1. Introducing my kid to nerdy things! He went to his first comicon this year (dresses as Green Goblin) and we showed him Star Wars for the first time. 2. Going to my first Worldcon!
Listening to the Kexp top albums of the year countdown. So grateful for the 3 new albums I couldn't stop listening to this year: Billboard Heart by Deep Sea Diver, All That Is Over by Sprints, and Everybody Scream by Florence + the Machine.
Anyone else listening to K-Pop Demon Hunters with their kid while wrapping Christmas presents start singing Tape Down instead of Takedown? Just me?
Today has been tough, so here for the record are the lyrics of the "X-Men song" I sing my son. To the tune of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer You know Jean Grey, and Cyclops, and Storm, and Rogue. You know Gambit, and Iceman, and Beast, and Toad. But do you recall... The most famous X-Man of allll
In new albums by Florence + the Machine and Lily Allen we see two different reflections of feminine rage in the year 2025 and how the Trump era is convincing women playing by the rules no longer serves them. In this essay I will.....

September was one of my better months of writing this year with 10,007 words over 14 days. Not a bad report for @gywo.bsky.social
Made the "mistake" of going to my fave local bookstore to buy birthday presents on a T. Kingfisher release day. Couldn't resist buying a copy of What Stalks the Deep. So much for the resolution to just read what's on my shelves. Wish I could say I'm sorry, but @tkingfisher.com has me hooked.
