Pinned post time! :D I am a scientist and author based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada -- I write about gods, monsters, magic, science, and people running in circles screaming "WHAT IS THAT WHAT IS IT DON'T LET IT TOUCH ME"

My Bookstore bookshop is here! :)

They said they were going to talk to my supervisor but I pointed out that as an independent advisory sientist, I technically don't have one

Then they (rudely) technically pointed out that I wasn't supposed to be out of my cell

When I moved in 2022 the movers laughed me off. "EVERYBODY says they have a lot of books," they said.

When I protested they laughed again and said, "EVERYBODY SAYS THAT TOO"

Then we finished and they crawled back to me, broken men, and whispered "Okay you were right. That WAS a lot of books."

It’s like my library somehow knew that these 2 valiant authors were each published in Lackington’s once upon a merry, given that both titles were released from my hold queue on the same day. 🎉

Finally plunging in, @premeemohamed.com and @vajra.me! My expectations are suitably atmospheric.

Here's a little cartoon for #WorldOctopusDay 🐙

Ink and watercolor cartoon showing an octopus peeking out of a coconut shell underwater. The octopus says: "I've been working on a novel, but I'm afraid to show anyone. Maybe I'll put one page out there." A fish swims up to look at the page and says, "That stinks!" The octopus disappears inside the shell and says, "Everyone's a critic."

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

when people complain that a story has “too many digressions” I want to ask them whether perhaps the digressions ARE the story
