I lost both of my parents this year, after several extremely hard years with exactly this kind of heartache. Sending you soft, kind thoughts.

I am purposefully Not Here(tm) these days but let me say I continue to marvel at how many 'restorative justice' scholars pop out of the woodwork to educate us only when their favorite parasocial bro on the internet receives the slightest consequences for his past actions.

the crazy thing about making time for any creative pursuit is that you literally have to do what you have a gut-deep yearning to do or else you'll see other people doing it, and it WILL make you insane.

I will keep shouting about this book until it gets the love it deserves. The concept and hook is deviously unique, and Tyler delivers it with heart.

Congrats to the Hugo winners!! So many incredible nominees this year. Thank you for filling the last few days with such smart, delightful conversations.

This is so deeply unacceptable and if you aren’t upset I have questions for you.

Goddamnit.

At worldcon, celebrating creativity… I turn on the tv in my hotel room and get inundated with nonstop AI-generated ads for gambling websites. The Germans must have a word for this kind of dystopic feeling.

Me at WorldCon.

missing: If anyone happened to find a small velvet bag full of moth stickers at WorldCon today, I am putting a bounty on its safe return. The adhd tax struck me early this year and I am moth-bereft. 💔
