If you have a day job, be proud of your hard work. If you have family support, thank your benefactors that make your life possible. If you're a genius at grants, share the knowledge.

I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

How To Restore a Timeline is a holiday story about violence and memory. It takes place on a special variant of December 27, 2006—one that never ends, overlapping and consuming all time that dares come after.
And I hear it makes a great gift, available everywhere you buy books.

I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

My Ken Jennings conspiracy theory is that he ghostwrote some sketches for The State.
My moon conspiracy theory is that every astronaut who sees the Earth from space immediately says “That’s a spicy meatball!” and NASA is covering it up.
