People reveal their own wounds with words like that--both in the pointless hostility of the remark and the sad misuse of their imagination. Any & all glories can be connected somehow to vile things, if that's where we train our brains to go. Face the sun, my man.

You can be a Christian or a Trump fan, but not both. If you think otherwise, explain it to me. Just be sure you've explained it to Jesus first.

Sincerely, a secular fan of transcendent love.

Want to ask me where Book III is? Whether Pazel and Thasha will ever make out again? Why a certain character died (or didn't)? THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. Stop by my Reddit Fantasy AMA on Tuesday (8/19) and let fly.

Doing a r/fantasy AMA in support of The Pixel Project to End Violence Against Women, Tuesday (Aug 19) from 10:00 AM EST.

Come & heckle! Fielding questions about SIEGE, The Fire Sacraments, The Chathrand Voyage, what feminism means to me, love during wartime, etc. infinito.

And please share.

Something to be happy about: a 3500+ year-old dolphin fresco from the Minoan Palace of Knossos, Crete, complete with stylized sea urchins and some very worried looking fish.

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Emil Bove confirmation is a direct assault on the integrity of our justice system

The confirmation of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit is a direct assault on the integrity of our justice system.

A former Trump lawyer, Bove ordered a 15-year DOJ veteran to lie to a federal judge — then helped fire him for refusing.

Now he’s a judge. Corruption in action.

Just stumbled over these lines from SIEGE, written early last year. To think I worried once that readers wouldn't be able to relate to such passages.

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest Video from Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, puts fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used to reach the Trump administration’s ambitious enforcement targets

The Trump cult has unleashed a racial profiling attack & kidnapping force. Watch the video, and recall that what gets filmed is only the tiniest fraction of the abuse going on. This is racist insanity run amok. Trump voters, this is on you.

Just watched Episode 1 of The Prisoner (1967), and I'm 100% sure it was made by a time-traveling David Lynch.

Hehehe! I'll try that one on my editor...

Thank you so much! I definitely can't wait forever--I'm living to get this book out in the world! Back to it now...

Just a cool map of lions then & now. I love story research.

Such a pleasure to meet you, Caitlin. Great times. And a great panel.

At Readercon, I'll be reading from (what else?) Siege, the last book in The Fire Sacraments trilogy. Which I'm STILL WRITING AND IT'S KILLING ME.

But the chapter's a fun one, an oasis of peace in the middle of a book about war.

Such a marvelous book. I hope its fame continues to grow.

A very sensible thread about the Asimov AI cover fiasco, and Interzone's problematic response.

If you love this country, try to make it smarter and kinder. That’s all that can save it. Stupidity will see it blunder from disaster to final disaster. Cruelty will strand it snarling alone. Make it smarter and kinder, and then be proud of your love.

Chimps' rhythmic drumming and complex calls hint at origins of human language Two studies of wild chimps point to the evolutionary roots of human language. The studies found that chimp communication often relies on rhythmic structures and call combinations.

Chimpanzee drumming and call combinations show important features of spoken language:

READERCON! Absolutely thrilled to be heading there in two weeks' time! Who's going to be there?

As George Carlin might have said.

Currently devouring, loving, M.T. Anderson's Nicked.

I'm still obsessing over Skyward Inn by Alia Whitely, three years later.

A drawing of the character Sarah Connor, hero of the Terminator movie franchise, with a half smoked cigarette in hand looking pissed & pensive.

Yes, capitalism sucks monkey balls but seriously, if there's an artist you dig, somebody making you move your brain, your ass, or your heart...BUY THEIR STUFF. Keep them from getting so tired that all they can do is give you regurgitainment. That shit's bad for the arteries. Life in co-survival.
