Why do I want to see your book posts, art posts, happy posts, pained posts, music posts, love posts, human posts, confused posts, did-the-thing posts, look at my garden posts, here's a poem of compassion posts? Because we're not here to cede our hearts to those who exist for ruin.

I love when my translators have questions. The splendid Mikael Cabon in France needs to know if a river in Written on the Dark flows into the sea or into another river: his word choice will be different.

When translators are careful it is a gift to an author AND a reminder to protect them from AI.

In the spirit of one like one line. In the spirit of one like/one line. I thought I'd try something a little different. For every heart this skeet gets I will will post a line or review from the Hornytown Chutzpah.

Thanks for the kind words @jolantru.bsky.social

It's a little weird feeling upset that my upconing satire is still timely. Part of me hoped that the issues I was writing about would be resolved before my heroes hit the shelves.

Luckily, I still got a water balloon full of Manischewitz!

I don't know Minneapolis. I've only been there once. I went to an SFFCon called Fourth Street, but it was one of the warmest experiences I can remember. Every one was eager to adopt a stranger, chat, joke, and share a bite. It was instant community.

I hate what's happening in Minneapolis.

I made a one-word book promo video for Hornytown Chutzpah. I'm just not sure if the word fits the book better or the times we are living in.

Abomination

Today was my parents' 62nd wedding anniversary. Anticipating the weather, they were still able to celebrate with a wonderful homemade meal including Maryland-style crab cakes, potato perogies, steamed cauliflower, and a chocolate bombe.

Glad I pulled this off. They are amazing people.

This bowl is deeply problematic. The wizard who crafted it forgot to give it eyes or ears. Imagine the poor bowl's plight as it walks hoping to find the person in need of soup with no sensory information except those gained from the soles of their feet and the pads of their toes.
To bring a smile to your face this weekend …

An ancient bowl with human feet!

Made in predynastic Egypt around 5,500 years ago.

"Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse" - wow, the wording in this isn't pulling its punches
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share:

“Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.”

The last 3 times I went to the gym there was a sign warning us that there was a cleaning woman inside the locker room. Sure enough, there was. While she worked people nodded. Nothing awkward happened or was said

This confirmend for me that all the trans bathroom hand wringing nonsense was nonsense
