Loving that Blade Runner poster!

If you're National Guard or any other service member being deployed against people in the US and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status or have any other concerns whatsoever, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options:

shot of my desk showing a monitor on a stand, blurred out pinboard behind it (because private, you sneaks!). There's a lamp, bluetooth headset, keyboard and mouse on an XK gaming mat, speakers, clock, mic, note paper and pen. You can see the edge of a filing cabinet with a printer on it to the right.

Hey, fellow scribes and other creatives - wanna share your workspace? Here's mine.

The fact that a company can do this is some deeply dystopian shit.

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

unprovoked? he was HUNTING it!

Rhubarb that crackles in the dark. It is grown with only candlelight and because of that, it grows so fast you can hear it. This method produces especially sweet rhubarb.

An article where you can read a bit about it and listen to the sound: www.atlasobscura.com/articles/for...

Policemen arresting an old woman. She’s had a grimace on her face and looks in pain. They are lifting her up 5 police officers

The absolute state of the police complying. Imagine this being your son or brother, mortified for your family.

lol fuck no. how about sorting out that other 85% first you disingenuous cunts.

Annoyed/exasperated protagonist - when it works - is one of my favorite things in horror. Like, we're all thinking it in The Thing when the head sprouts legs and scampers off. Horrors beyond comprehension, but the reactions are street level real.

all of them

Good for you.

I will be asking to remove 'Queer As Folklore' from the long list for the Polari Prize 2025.

Magneto!

could it be argued that la pomme de l'air is, in fact, simply la pomme?

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

if you took every billionaire and stood them one on top of each other starting at the bottom of the mariana trench that would be excellent

Inject it into my veins

Cover of RECALL.

Cover of FEVER DREAMS.

Cover of THIS WAY LIES MADNESS.

I've had a pretty lean publishing year in 2025, but there are three releases and I'm seriously proud of them all. The entire Eli Carver series is together in one book now, in RECALL. Then two of my best ever short stories in THIS WAY LIES MADNESS and FEVER DREAMS. Not much volume, but high quality.

Authors write the book, and authors or publishers release the book, but it's readers who weild the power behind the book. If you love something you've read, tell everyone, give it as gifts, sing its praises high and low. This and only this is the real magic in publishing.

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you”

Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Yep. Still better than boomers holding everything back.

Young people have a vested interest in the future. If they can drive and fuck at 16, they should get a vote. They're more aware of the modern world than old people.

THIS WAY LIES MADNESS and FEVER DREAMS are both out soon, and up for pre-order now. RECALL is out now in paperback, hardcover and ebook.
