Don’t you just think that the music coming out of Gotham would be so baller? The bands forged in the city of Batman would be unreeeeal I think about this a lot

I drank the contents of a glow stick I found on the beach, it wasn’t even glowing any more and I think about it every day

HEY PALS UNSETTLING PROMPT TIME what's the weirdest thing you ate as a kid?

I miss TV shows with 20+ episodes. I miss filler episodes. I miss side stories that mean nothing, and other ones that turn out to be the most brilliant storytelling you've ever seen. Perhaps I am old, but so much made now just tires me.

Man I want to live in a world where the White Rat exists, unfortunately that does mean we have to become the White Rat we want to see in the world

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

Thinking about getting a bob again

Daggerbound rips so hard I left the bar early so I could go to bed and read

@tkingfisher.com I have a really important question: did Learned Edmund always have the tonsure? Was he 19 and bald on purpose?

My reward for surviving Hugo’s reading was clockwork boys and man Kingfisher books make me feel so warm in my heart

I feel like every article I’ve read on the special editions craze kind of misses the mark, they all seem to have an amount of supposition but like, these girlies are out there trust me I’m friends with them and they love to talk about it

Mountain Dew I have a pitch for a commercial in disguise

Harbour of hungry ghosts is so much fun and so bananas I cant wait for more people to read it so we can talk about how bananas it is together

Substack is 100% doing another round of big cash payouts for reputation laundering. A fair number of people accepting that money aren't hurting for it so I'm not clear on why they're doing it. BTW, if you're still on Substack, why, but also, here's a resource to get off: leavesubstack.com

Tiny joys

I think if you could freeze cream and defrost it normal the world would be a better place

I fear I am reaping what I’ve sown and am a little burnt out from reading, which I didn’t predict and no one warned me about and no one has been asking about every single time they see me at work

I can find a million lists of anticipated sff releases for the first half of the year but literally none for the second half tell me what’s coming I’m begging I want to know

I went into green city wars with kind mixed feelings (loved the concept but my last Tchaikovsky was shroud and I didn’t enjoy it) and I really liked it! Not super cowabunga but it’s a thinker for me for sure. I’m not immune to being shown a little guy and being asked what personhood really is

I’ve had to pause my Hugo’s reading for ARC reading (green city wars & moss’d in space) and I feel sooooo chill and normal and at all weird or deranged

I love that random men get accused of performative reading for no reason when I’ve been doing it for years and no ones ever said shit if you see me reading in public know I feel unbelievably smug

Cinder House by Freya Marske

The story of Icarus provides us with a valuable lesson: never fuck up real bad
