The only movie I have ever gone to rewatch in the theater multiple times. Extraordinary on every level!

My first thought after I read this book was, “This deserves a Hugo,” and so it does. ⚔️💔 Congratulations, @alixeharrow.bsky.social !

Congratulations, Diana!! 🩵💚❤️💛🚀 You are truly one of the best!

A whirlwind final day at @laworldcon.bsky.social! A reading, a signing at the @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social table, co-hosting the @carlbrandon.bsky.social Society Tea, and a 2026 Debut Authors panel. Highlight: my editor @dianapho.bsky.social took home her 3rd Hugo Award for Best Editor Long Form!

you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that

and then there’s the variation where you’re standing awkwardly in the doorway until your secret hockey boyfriend says, “come stay in my caaaabin, it’s private, we’ll have a great time” and then the nurse comes in and asks if she should be worried you’re going to smother him with a pillow

We asked @lavanya.bsky.social for her best book of '25, the book she'd love for Xmas & her anticipated read of '26. Read the full article: https://geni.us/SolarisBks2025 to find out why she picked @slhuang.com @robertjbennett.bsky.social @samitbasu.bsky.social & more! https://geni.us/killingspell

Adored #SongSungBlue, especially the performance of Kate Hudson! This movie was so, so unbelievably kind in its handling of the real difficulties faced by low-income families, yet it was woven into this incredibly fun, singable, nostalgic story of Neil Diamond fandom, too. Fantastic.

Kate Hudson in her best performance is as Claire in Song Sung Blue. Jackman did a pretty good Neil Diamond but I loved him for the human side of Mike. A great Christmas movie for us.

All my awards-eligible 2025 publications!! It’s been a good publishing year. Thanks to @titanbooks.bsky.social @spotifyforauthors.bsky.social @nightmare-magazine.com @crepuscularmag.bsky.social @thedeadlands.com @khoreo.bsky.social @horrortree.com for sharing my stories & essays with the world! 🖤🖤🖤

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.

If you’re someone who doesn’t emote much, Shane is so relatable. The real thought is always the undercurrent, whereas Ilya says the emotional part out loud. But then Ilya never calls him on it, like, “Hey, you said to be honest with each other.” He KNOWS that this IS Shane being open. #heatedrivalry

To add to this - THE MEMORY HUNTERS is not inspired by the Middle Ages. Valerian IV does not wear plate armor. But she does have a sword, is sworn to guard her charge, and went to combat school. And I wrote her specifically to fulfill the princess/knight trope. Sapphically.

MAD SISTERS OF ESI is eligible for awards this season:

wow apparently it's """"""""unacceptable"""""""" to say "I'm always a slut for maple bars" in a professional context

“Reiner, 78, was an avuncular public figure through it all … a quietly brilliant force in the industry, producing the kind of intelligent, varied #films no one could have expected from a man audiences once knew best as ‘Meathead’.” www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025... #RIP #RobReiner

I had a friendship (situationship?) just like this one, and I’ve always been grateful to this movie for capturing how it felt. Loved many of his other shows, as well, but this was my personal favorite. RIP, Rob & Michelle.

“Love the monster breeding inside you and slaughter him with love. Love the shipwreck of your body, your mind’s salted garden…” Exactly what I needed today. 💕 @themarginalian.org.web.brid.gy www.themarginalian.org/2025/12/10/j...

In a new interview with @mcflycahill90.bsky.social, @victormanibo.com discusses Filipino history, "gloomth", and what drew him to gothic horror with his latest novel The Villa, Once Beloved!

Happy #caturday from Fitzwilliam Darcy, whose good opinion once lost is lost forever (except if you give him chin scritches)

Most economists agree that by age 50, you should: - own at least one magic sword - get advice from an enchanted bear skull - be covered by a thin layer of moss & lichen - disappear into a malevolent fog once a month - become a creature of myth & legend in the old forest

THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS in "a must-read" debut perfect for fans of Tananarive Due and Johnny Compton. Tamika Thompson delivers a gripping domestic horror about motherhood, grief, and the ghosts born of injustice. Learn more about the book here: bit.ly/47EsdEo #EWGC

The dark fantasy “Metal from Heaven” by August Clarke is very good. A political revolution against capitalism led by a lesbian bandit biker gang - it’s bloody, queer, intense, visceral, & sensual. Lyrical prose with Mad Max frenetic energy. 🌈📚

Fuck yes, WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
