So determined not to go to the grocery store and look at people that I just mixed my own barbecue sauce from scratch. It ain’t half bad.

Hello! I don’t work in small press but I’m a lesbian author with two little kids. Would love to connect.

The infusion center is playing Jesus Christ by Brand New over the speakers and I’m really not sure what to feel.

Diane, I’m so terribly sorry to hear this and for your loss. You’re in my thoughts.

Love Kentuckians. Just walked by two horses whose owners had ridden them down to see some titties at the burlesque show.

I have recently healed an injury that would have been a death sentence a hundred years ago with minimal complaint, but I’ve just developed hay fever and oh my god it’s over. It’s over this time. I can see the light.

I’m only good at manifesting one thing and brother that thing is POISON IVY RASH

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

The rich feel safe advocating for this shit because they have enormous resources to protect their investments & you do not. Further eroding the barriers of intellectual property between creator & corporation merely hastens the speed at which what's yours is theirs. What's theirs will still be theirs

All this talk of hashtag ancestral diets and none of yall are out here eating pigeon.

I did see someone say that no one should comp to Gideon the Ninth because there’s nothing like it and, I’m sorry, but that simply not true!

Glancing over a scene I wrote in my first trimester and tell me why I wrote “the warm roomed” and no one so far has caught it.

I hoped so too! I’ve missed them with every reunion so far. My fingers are crossed one day I’ll get to see them live. Did you get to go to Best Friends?? I would have loved to see them and the Blood Brothers. This year’s line up is amazing but I know I won’t make it out there.

Spotify algorithm recommending I “discover” A Better Son/Daughter and Rainer Maria’s Artificial Light. Do you not know me?????

please don’t text me war plans, because I’m actually at capacity right now and I don’t think I can hold appropriate space for you. do you have someone else you could reach out to?

That’s what I’m hearing. I hoped they’d changed their policy. Looking at Kit? I would like bare bones for now with an option to expand as my capacity increases you know?

Checking out Kit right now. Does it have a free option? I don’t really see myself monetizing my newsletter right now, mostly just keeping in touch with readers quarterly.

Is Substack worth it or are there alternatives y’all enjoy more? I’m creating a newsletter, just deciding where I ought to host it.

There is a certain baby babble that sounds a little bit as though a tiny wizard is casting a spell on you because you dared to move him from the milk after he’d been asleep for five minutes. I choose to believe it’s a blessing.

LLM litigation · Joseph Saveri Law Firm & Matthew Butterick LLM litigation

A lot of my fellow authors are freaking out after learning more about the conduct of Meta (and other AI). I'm one of the authors who has been involved in suits against Meta and OpenAI since 2023. Authors who'd like to know more about the cases and the latest updates, see llmlitigation.com/index.html

They're going to kill Libby and all your other library book reading apps, programs funded by Congress which the administration (and certainly not Elon or his teen Nazi psychopath goons) has no power to shut down.

Maybe a day to call all your reps again and to demand action

Jeremy Szal isn't the only SF/F author or fan no longer coming to Worldcon or other U.S. conventions b/c of Trump's actions. I know of many other people doing the same.

U.S. fandom has yet to truly process how all this is harming and changing international connections in the SF/F genre.

I know you’re not supposed to acknowledge the haters, but for a minority of them the real scary part of WAKE THE BONES was having to empathize with the fears and experiences of queer rural teens for like, two seconds and that still drives me nuts to this day. Can’t win ‘em all, but…

Yes, this is consistent with who Kentuckians are.

Ways to show up for our libraries:

-Get a library card
-Regularly visit your library
-Use library services
-Donate books
-Attend library events
-Become a library “friend”
-Purchase their merch or from their book sales
-Volunteer

I keep hearing that too and I have never seen a source on it, period, much less one I’d believe. It sounds great though! Magical. Like most info surrounding it.

No hate to farmers, this is said with adoration and respect, but I think a lot of the homesteady raw milk drinkers who “trust their farmer” but don’t trust pasteurization did not grow up around farmers. Pasteurization is the same every year and has never had to cut a corner to put food on the table.

I bet hands in the sky (big shot) is a religious experience live

Everyone doing this work for any period of time knew this was coming.

It's no longer "I'll do it some day," as so many thought to themselves when we threw warnings out in 2020, then 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

NOW is beyond time for doing something to protect your libraries.
