Preparing for my bookstore reading this Saturday!

Alex is hunting surveillance bugs in his apartment…

(I’m in the basement because my wife has a conference call upstairs—I hope they can’t hear me!)

Fascinating! This was a fun ride!
The problem with being a textile historian with a speciality in quilting is that sometimes I get so in the head of the prior sewists I don’t know how to proceed with the project. Let me show you my current puzzle: a stack of 9-patch blocks of unknown provenance. #Quilting #History

Dear Gen Z,

You would love “The Adventures of Pete & Pete.”

David and Ben, I was a lifelong bunny ears guy too. Friends always complained about the extra seconds I took to tie my shoes. Then I learned this: youtu.be/2m8n3VRO0o8?...

I read an excerpt from my novel in a kitchen cupboard.

Don’t worry, it makes sense.

I asked ChatGPT to suggest titles for my novel based on a summary:

"A man suffers persecution from auditory hallucinations he believes are his neighbors."

The two best suggestions were:
1. The Sound of Silence
2. The Phantom Menace

The robots will replace us with ourselves.

I think the historical context on this is really important to understand and promote because the reality is that there's no inherent aversion to trans people in our culture, it's one that's been cultivated by explicit right wing propaganda as another way to divide the working class against itself

“We discuss why and how the experience of inner speech in neurodivergent groups has often been assumed rather than investigated, making it an important opportunity for researchers to develop innovative future work that integrates participatory insights with cognitive methodology.” 👌🏻

Fascinated by the sheer matter-of-factness of this story buried on page 8 of The Liverpool Daily Post, 29 March 1937 – “Ellen the barmaid is now Alan the barman.” Please update your address books. Now, what’ll you have?

@lumpley.bsky.social, I’m starstruck to have you follow me. Your work with @megueyb.bsky.social has been a huge inspiration to me, both as a writer/storyteller and as a human.

Recently published account of a professional philosopher on his schizophrenia. Subjective accounts of psychosis are vital for those who have & those who haven't experienced it. Note also that until now this author didn't feel free to disclose his diagnosis, as many are forced to live closeted.

Was asked for the best writing advice I've heard:

The point of a first draft is to exist. You can't edit and improve what isn't there. Thusly "internal editor" that prevents you from doing the work at all is actually an internal heckler that isn't constructive and doesn't deserve to be listened to.
