Absolutely thrilled to share the cover to next year's short story collection coming out from @tordotcom.bsky.social! I'm obsessed with it! Comes out March 24, 2026, but you can pre-order it now wherever you like getting your books! Here's Macmillan's link. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Started the new season of The Diplomat & 1 ep in it’s very funny how much the writers seem to be knowingly delivering Sorkinisms like little easter eggs

“I don’t want any of us to be or feel un-housed in our bodies our towns our movements ever again. This book is my prayer; if you need to use it as shelter, it’s yours.” My memoir HOME OUT THERE is available for preorder now! bookshop.org/p/books/home...

Gym sessions lately have been a lot of necessary but dispiriting mobility things but I continue to love having short hair even/especially when it’s messy

Ottawa! Vote in our municipal elections today! Read up on your councillors & schoolboard trustees! If you’re feeling at sea, Horizon Ottawa’s list of endorsements is a good place to start.

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

Another victory for democracy in Brazil despite voter and apparent algorithmic suppression! bsky.app/profile/ians...

✅listen to ep @ work ✅cry @ work ✅go home, reread MFH for the 3rd time in as many years Could’ve listened to hours & hours of this convo tbh. The circular narrative was such a marvel to me, such a gut punch of a revelation, that I immediately went back & reread pg.1 when I finished the book.

…why is a woman running a lint-roller down his arm & follow-up question why is this seen as a reward

There is a doofus currently arguing here that no "creative talent" would choose to write tie-ins, and since I just did a panel this weekend on why creative talents choose to write IP, here are a few reasons. Non-financial reasons, for fun and because frankly it usually doesn't pay that well.

At Can*Con on Saturday, @amalelmohtar.com and @margo_thespian.bsky.social entertained a packed room talking about paranormal experiences and Margo’s new book. We even got a chance to try to talk to the spirit realm! (Also, we admired their fabulous sense of style!) @canconsffh #cancon2026

If you're in Idaho or the surrounding area and want to have a magical experience, it's my mom's estate sale next week. All kinds of beauty in this house - the house I spent my teenage years in, and it's entirely muralised inside too. ❤️ www.vintagequeen.shop/up-coming-sa... Up Coming Sales | My Site

We read straight men's thoughts about the queer fantasy novel, "Metal From Heaven," on our recent episode with @amalelmohtar.com. You can listen to the full episode now for free here or wherever you get your podcasts! www.patreon.com/WorkersLit/p...

My wonderful friend @amalelmohtar.com is on this episode, and I’m currently sitting across from her in a coffee shop!!!

LET'S GO LESBIANS!!! This week the great @amalelmohtar.com joined us to talk about "Metal From Heaven," a truly wild novel about building parallel power structures, workers' uprisings, lesbian sex, gender, and becoming Commie Jesus. Listen for free wherever you get your podcasts!!

Things have been so crazy with all the gender stuff I didn't announce next week's episode. It's gonna be "Metal From Heaven" with @amalelmohtar.com. It's coming tomorrow and it's gonna rule

I’m sorry but this “core team” stuff has reached a level of absurdity. You can’t say this shit about a game that used hundreds of contractors.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Who all’s at @canconsffh.bsky.social! Sound off!

This was really fun, definitely dithered a lot longer than I needed to before committing to the final untangling but my tragic flaw is unfortunately favouring perfection over speed I solved the daily #CluesBySam, Oct 16th 2026 (Tricky), in less than 9 minutes 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 cluesbysam.com

Tonight, Ottawa! Launching my book at Perfect Books, 7:00pm! In conversation with @amalelmohtar.com A reading! A Q&A! An attempt to talk to ghosts! Book signing! Come celebrate with me! @ecwpress.bsky.social 👻📚

this is you, you fucking fools

I lived in Cornwall for 4 years & would have loved to see such a place in Penryn during my time there. I wish them every success.

just like great great great grandma used to...

A thing I think about a lot is how directly this stuff is descended from casino customer-tracking apps as they were emerging in the 90s. Addiction By Design covers this in a chapter - casinos harvest data on videoslot players and then measure exactly where their "Frustration point" is on losses.
