Got back from Stephen King's The Shining: The Opera and closed out the night eating mochi out of my freezer. Not a bad series of events

Writers and Readers - with Thomas Ha YouTube video by Josh Gauthier

If you missed the livestream with @thomasha.bsky.social last night talking about writing and Uncertain Sons, you can watch the whole thing on YouTube. It was such a fun conversation. Give it a listen and be sure to also check out his story collection for yourself.

Tomorrow!

I always look forward to your posts when we get a new release

Yeah they're like opposite ends of the spectrum for scope and identity, which I don't dislike but it's a listening leap going from something as expansive as TTPD to as intimate as TLOAS

I might move a couple around, but would have a pretty similar list. I wouldn't say I dislike Wood but that is a wild track to just drop into this album

I can see the similar sound between those two

Eldest Daughter and Fate of Ophelia in the top two spots right now.

The entire first section really is a vibe, Opalite included, I confess.

Ruin the Friendship and its Nashville setting.

And the last track really does tie it all off nicely

Absolutely agree on those song picks

I'm liking the whole album more with each listen. I had been curious what it would end up being about beyond the aesthetic

Event Graphic reads "Writers and Readers Livestream with Thomas Ha. Tuesday, October 7th. 10 pm EST / 7 pm PST. Live on YouTube with Josh Gauthier. YouTube.com/@JoshGauthier83." The graphic also shows an author headshot of Thomas Ha and the cover image of Uncertain Sons.

Mark your calendars!

I'll be going live on YouTube with @thomasha.bsky.social in a couple weeks to discuss Uncertain Sons and Other Stories from @undertow.bsky.social.

I'm very excited and would love to have you join us live or replay the event afterwards on YouTube.

Nashville life is walking somewhere downtown and ending up next to the same screaming tavern on wheels at every intersection for 5 blocks.

Hot damn this is excellent

This is staggering.
Dismantling the right wing propaganda machine is imo one of the biggest and most vital obstacles to the future of this country.

Pinkalicious and 700+ other titles removed from Lamar Consolidated ISD, near Houston No - this is not the latest satirical headline at The Onion. This is reality for the 49,000+ students who attend LCISD schools.

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control.

It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

This is such a lovely livestream conversation. The book is going straight into my cart, and such a good reminder of why I love the writing community. Especially these days.

"I wanted to write a character who, on my worst days, could inspire me to at least try."
-Martin Cahill talking about Audition for the Fox and stories about what it means to keep moving when the world feels terrible.

"Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?"

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day

We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

🚨🚨🚨 I need to talk about censoring of info in TN at the K-12 and college level. It seems Tre Hargett’s 1984 Ministry of Truth has arrived.

There is a data base for students nationally called Opposing Viewpoints. It provides reputable sources to both sides of an issue for students for research.

Text mounted on a screen reads as follows: WHAT IS SCIENCE FICTION? 1. DOESN'T MATTER 2. WHO CARES 3. MARKETING DEPARTMENT'S PROBLEM 4. NOT YOURS

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

Mural on a greyish white wall. Nearby iron railings painted black. A depiction of a judge beating a person who is on the ground holding, I think, the scales of justice. It has been painted over, but a dark grey shadow remains. They look ghostly, or like shadows burned into the wall

I love how the second part of Banksy's newest mural, which is a comment on censorship and oppression, was done by the very people he is critiquing.

Their response was predictable, and relied upon, and imho has created a masterpiece.

please do not post things you don’t want to see on The Free Press and Fox News later this evening

I can neither confirm nor deny that I just outlined an entirely separate project from the one I'm currently writing. I also have no comment on the question of whether I am capable of successfully writing this new idea on my own.

Entirely unrelated, I'm learning the value of keeping good notes.
