omg the Widow's Bay sampler is a Tennessee Williams quote

@kellylink.bsky.social The Dragon Hoard (1971)!

Adrian kindly read Gigs and gave us a pull quote, and the generosity of it absolutely blew my socks off. Getting such a kind quote, from someone i admire so much, after half a decade working on it in isolation, was a really big moment.

If you're in the Leeds area on the 18th June, 4pm, OK Comics is hosting an evening release for a new SF graphic novel, Gigs. This is an amazing story of people struggling against and resisting the powers that be of a near future state, about community, fellowship and small acts of kindness.

Just passed through the new remote TSA in Framingham! Headed on the Logan express to the airport. Next up, Pittsburgh and Stokercon!

I head out to #Stokercon, arriving tomorrow afternoon! Between my day job, sick pets, a writing project, and last weekend's trip for the Locus Awards, I haven't had time organize much for the trip. If you're headed there and want to connect, please reach out!

Wow! Two of the amazing stories in Storyteller:A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology made @johnjosephadams.com 2026 Notable Stories for Best American Science Fiction & Fantasy. @marthawells.com "Data Ghost" and "Jealous Wives of the Sea" by #AlayaDawnJohnson. www.johnjosephadams.com/projects/bes...

A collaborative story of wild horses in Central Asia, women-led rhino-protection in India, community support to big cats in Russia, a campaign against eating endangered sea species in Venezuela, & more examples of local community involvement making a difference! globalvoices.org/2026/05/28/c...

Countless endangered species are making a comeback due to global conservation efforts

These success stories are a model for community-rooted conservation and population revival that could help other countries and regions rebuild their withering ecosystems.

Public health awareness campaigns should be as rad as the people they're aiming to serve. And all the folks I know in Uganda are fricken awesome. #ebola #publichealth

I've finally made my last student loan payment for my MFA program! Next up? All my kids' student loans.😬😂

Dark confession: today I organized a junk drawer and my fire safe of family docs instead of writing. The guilt is real.

So #DerryGirls isn’t an earnest period piece?! So “Rock the Boat” is a classic Irish wedding dance?! How did I miss all this for so damn long? 😂 youtu.be/NcXmTcsr6LA

Last month was crazy stressful. I was determined May would be different. What a great start! Thank you #HWA!

She is very lonely

I finally caved. My laptop is currently out for repairs. I wore out the e on the keyboard (it works except when it doesn’t) The worst part? Entering a password and having to count the number of characters to determine if the e had actually been entered. 😂

this is one of the best gifs of all time

This is a set of frames of the surface of Comet 67P taken by the Rosetta mission on 1 June 2016. The particles in the foreground are bits of dust and ice or cosmic rays effects. The "waterfall" of points moving in the background are stars.

Picking up a novelette in progress with historic elements, I remember mapping out the drinking water sources in the nineteenth-century town. Buttt I can't find the info or let it go—logic be damned. I guess I'll be repeating the research cause there’s truly no talking myself out if it 😂

So excited to see Storyteller, the Tanith Lee anthology put out last year by @thisjulieday.bsky.social named as a #locusaward Finalist! Amazing!

Spoke to the Guardian about the idea of quitting LLMs for climate: -“I see this all as very much part of the tactic of trying to embed these systems into society and instil dependency in a fashion similar to the growth of single-use plastics in the 1970s.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

These are my award-eligible works from 2025, if you're nominating stories: @thepinkhydra.com @thisjulieday.bsky.social @giganotosaurus.bsky.social

What a way to start the month! Storyteller is on the 2025 Locus Magazine Recommended Reading list! For the last few weeks l've had to remain silent & I've learned I really hate withholding good news! (Thankfully I found out about the Stoker Award preliminary ballot at the same time as everyone else)
