Hi, friends! I'm here! I missed having writer community, so here I am while I cheer you on and write more magical stories. Wishing everyone love and kindness and, for crying out loud, universal basic rights. ❤️🪷✨

@darthbluesky.bsky.social is right! Today is a fantastic day for preordering my silly vampire novel, FANGS NOT INCLUDED. If you like WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, you'll love this. 🧛‍♀️ www.harpercollins.com/products/fan...

I would be very interested to know how much money has been spent on these "tools" that no one in their right mind at the Big 5 wants to use, all while there's never any money to market and publicize midlist authors

I was already screaming internally but 75% through, this made me scream externally: Other authors and agents say they’ve been asked by editors to write their own plans for revisions “because the editors don’t have time to do it themselves.” Indeed, why bother with trad if they won't support staff?

good morning world. so many cool things are happening in my life right now and i'm excited to be excited. 💚

We swore we weren’t gonna get another grandma after the last one died, but when we saw this one at the shelter, we just knew we had to have her.

For @wired.com, I spoke with Macmillan and PRH staff about AI at the rest of the Big Five. I also spoke with bestselling authors who've gone to "war" with publishers over AI use and are now demanding disclosures and threatening to leave their publishers altogether. www.wired.com/story/macmil...

oooh! from the description: "Move over, Dracula: Rakshasas, churels, vetalas, and more bring fresh folklore to the supernatural space." which sounds amazing!

@charliejaneanders.com You're going to be in my city for Philcon! Maybe we can grab a meal?

impeach them all. fuck em. why should they get to fly around on our dime and hurt people? “they’ll never actually removed from office” who gives a shit? I want them miserable every day for the rest of the term. I hope they have nightmares. air their dirty laundry. make em sweat

For the nighttime crowd...

NEW: buried in anthropic's hefty ipo documents released yesterday is an interesting admission: the company's increasing reliance on dirty gas to power its data centers is actually exposing it to financial risk wrote about it for @wired.com www.wired.com/story/anthro...

Nothing can be done without accountability. Nothing. There were no consequences for the war on terror’s transgressions and look where that got us. There were no real consequences for an armed attempted overthrow of the government and look where that got us.

The day is finally upon us! THE FIST OF MEMORY is officially out NOW in the US and Canada. This near-future story of assassins, aliens, astrophysicists and ancestors that I started 15 years ago, is finally out in the world & it still feels a bit unreal. astrapublishinghouse.com/product/the-...

the mainstream democrats do not want the republicans to face any consequences because they are on the same team, they are the same people, they are friends and colleages. their job is to occupy the positions of people who could actually oppose the republicans & make sure that never happens

This piece at @theflytrapmedia.com by @sesmith.lol explains clearly why y'all need to stop sharing all that feel-good slop. Don't rely on vibes. Make sure it's true. www.theflytrapmedia.com/reading-rowl...

To be a Luddite is to insist that humans are in charge of humanity, not the iron laws of economics, not the great forces of history, not the uncaring and illusory constellations.

Someone please let the otherwise well meaning @clairewillett.bsky.social that Arabic numerals are from India and only have the Arabic nomenclature because that's where euros first encountered them

I wrote something about gen-AI, and why we need to fight it now, while our brains can still imagine better... www.tumblr.com/joannechocol...

Go get my friend Hailey's book! Her stories are always interesting and thoughtful in the best ways.

I’m not reposting that racist garbage but I WILL repost this. I’m an “Arab” and I create really great literature. In fact, here’s my very first published piece about another “Arab” who eats mean men 🥰

Sign this petition to require med schools to teach ME/CFS and POTS diagnostics and care. These are incredibly common conditions that somehow docs have never heard of, and sub-standard care makes people's quality of life go permanently down. That's what happened to me. c.org/pnyF4Grgxt
