I'm glad that The Odyssey could be made. Nolan has incredible technical talent. And there was message behind the spectacle. But I don't think we need this story right now. We don't need retellings of legendary white men and their problems. There are other stories, and more important storytellers.

I don't really eat fast food any longer. But last night, after watching The Odyssey, I got out at a weird time and was really hungry. I swung through Carl's Jr and got to the window, and the worker said, "The person in front of you paid for your dinner." Well, thanks, stranger. That was really kind.

For readers who love The Daily Show and Reservation Dogs. Check out my new comedy book "We’ve Been Here The Whole Time! A Not So Sacred Guide to All Things Native America." It’s like if The Onion wrote a book about Indian Country!

I'm so proud to be on the Emerging Technology Committee for @sfwa.bsky.social . We've recently added a resource page to SFWA's site that will help writers navigate the ever-increasing threat of "AI" and LLMs to the publishing world. Check it out! More soon! sfwa.org/emerging-tech/

I quit all other social media besides bsky last year. It was just...too much. And this place is honestly starting to feel the same. I love to hear about your successes and joys, to see your faces and your adventures. But finding them through the daily parade of horrors is getting to me. No lie.

When I was 14, my parents sat me down and told me that I had to stop thinking I could ever make a living working in games or comics (which was what I insisted I wanted to do up to that point). They said, 'You need to be more practical. Those are dead ends. That's kids' stuff. Forget it.' 1/2

Not ashamed to admit it. I've always found the relationship between Lestat and Gabrielle to be fascinating and hot. I could probably write an essay justifying it, but...meh. Go ahead and judge me how you see fit. LOL

Today, my house in WA is listed for sale. It's a hard day. Growing up, we were always renters. I assumed I'd never be able to own a home. This house was my first house, purchased when I was 54. Now we're selling it almost exactly one year later, and my heart is broken. I loved that house.
