I’m so sorry Wendy.

He is turning into the hall of presidents animatronic of him

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

The world was saved because a human being didn't trust a computer.

"it's a distraction—"

In what possible way? What indication was there that he was ever going to face consequences for literally anything. Our elected representatives don't care that he's in the files. They certainly don't care if he murders little girls.

Perfect first day of Authorcon and so cool to get to send some Headlights galleys off with readers! Stoked for tomorrow! See you all soon 💖

I made a custom edition of an anthology from the Indie Author Collective for the Scares That Care AuthorCon VI silent auction. The leather is color-shifting, the paper is iridescent, and the HTV on the cover is glow-in-the-dark holographic. The bookmark charm is a haunted house, complete with ghost!

Still processing winning the Wilburn-Thomas award tonight More to say later this weekend!
Massive Thanks to Scares That Care and the Board of Directors, and Brian Keene for this incredible honor.
Humbled. Speechless. Grateful.

So AuthorCon started off with a bang today and I didn’t take any pictures! But I brought Jasper with me and we set up a chess set for him to challenge convention goers to play him. He’s ready to compete Saturday and Sunday… so come by and face the master blaster! #authorcon #scaresthatcare

there's plenty written up about the toxicity of hockey culture so it still gives me happiness and hope when the Caps continue to hold a Black History Night game in the face of everything (and have for years) along with elevating local Black creators

Sourdif's words here are worth holding onto

This was how I improved my passport photo! I mean it’s still not great but at least I don’t look like one of the Monkees on qualuudes.

Less than two years to go! I once had a horrendous passport photo, I feel you.

I had a photo like this recently and I’m so glad I got a do-over when I went to get my RealID.

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot"

HELL. YES.

If you work in a company, let's say a publishing house, and there's been a quiet roll back of trans inclusion and you have not stood up or blown a whistle you are complicit. There's no room for error anymore.

We can still keep our trans homies safe. But only if we fucking fight, and that means risk

You too!

I'm querying a serial killer novella. I love finding agents on here, though I'm seeing a lot I already queried!

This piece was great, and put into words very well something I've been noticing in literature and struggling to convey. Thanks for sharing it.

When Did Literature Get Less Dirty? A puritan strain is manifesting in realist novels as a marked absence of straight sex.

“Sex in literature—tangling with what happens between people in bed, whether it occurs once or leads to love, marriage and a baby in a baby carriage—is one way to imagine a better version of heterosexuality. If novelists won’t rise to that challenge, doing so will only get harder for everyone else.”
