You all know he's a crazy person, right?

Starting this Saturday in the Bay! My intro to fiction workshop, which unlike many workshops has led to positive results: short fiction published in paying venues, novels, etc.

Please reskee!

How I arrived on Bluesky

I too am in favor of drunken Georgian air-traffic controllers.

My sff collection Echoes and Embers: Speculative Stories is available to nominate for the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize, if anyone enjoyed it and feels so inclined! Much love!

According to the Instagram story of my cousin who lives in Dubai and works as a speech therapist there, she is...alive.

An appropriately gloomy day to sneak into @wordbookstores.bsky.social in #JerseyCity to sign some copies of FIVE FUNERALS.

The sad thing about this story is that it began with an act of compassion. The mother at the center of it all was obviously unwell and just needed someone to watch her kids. The daycare said no so she did the reasonable thing and just dumped them on their doorstep and drove off. The smart thing 1/

Bad Internet Bills All of the bad internet bills. One website.

THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home.

That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous.

Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed.

The "How did the protestors get signs so quickly?!" crowd is really showing how dumb it is. Parts of the US ruling class have been threatening to bomb Iran for decades, and the US bombed Iran last year. It's "How did you already have rice in your cupboard?!"-level planning.

That’s all *any* of this is, too! There are no real products in and of themselves They’re not actually producing anything real that people want! None of them!! Literally none of this is about anything other than getting people to give them more money!!!

I feel goddamn insane

People will live in neighborhoods where all the houses are over $600k, send their kids to private schools, primarily socialize with other moderately wealthy people... and then tell a lefty person who makes $48k on blue sky that they live in a bubble.

Many have asked about AI and translation following the acquisition announcement. Seven Seas remains committed to human translators and the high editorial standards our readers & creators expect. Nothing about the acquisition changes how we translate our books. More info shortly.

Just FYI for all you newly minted business experts out there; acquisitions involving publicly traded companies almost never involve telling employees (or others) early to avoid the possibility of insider trading.

This is so whether you like the idea or not.

Thank you!

Have airstrikes by a hostile foreign country ever produced this outcome? The reactionary centrist blob keeps pretending this is part of a duly considered long-term strategy from Trump but that is not how he operates and even if it was, this is a dumb strategy.

Asked if MPs should get a vote on UK military action, Badenoch says that given the number of left wing MPs with "silly views" she thinks it's best if not. 14:08 • 2 Mar 2026

Kemi here saying the quiet part out loud: the business of parliament is ensuring that the great looting and death machine rampages on, unimpeded by the views of silly people who don’t matter and must be ignored.

I have a character mention the MOVE bombings in this short story and not six months goes by when I don't get a letter from a reader asking either what it means to thanking me because they looked it up and it was the first they heard of it.

I lived a few streets down from the site where the Philadelphia Police Department firebombed an entire city block in 1985, and when I mention it in lecture most of my students seem absolutely incredulous

A Saudi official saying this on Al Jazeera, a Qatari media outlet, is far more telling than any nugget of information carefully leaked to an American media outlet.

This war will permanently alter the relationship of the Gulf states, the US, and Israel.

Well at least the Board of Peace ain't no protection racket.

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.
