Nebula Award winning F&SF writer/editor/teacher. Most recent book is WINGS OF TABAT; upcoming is ALL THE PRETTY LITTLE MERMAIDS. Sometimes I swear. They/she.
- Holy shit, I won a Nebula.
- Grammarly just announced that they've been using customer work to train their AI. If you still use their service, stop now if you care about your copyright.
- Putting together Twitter list that is non-binary creatives working in fantasy and science fiction. Writers, artists, game-designers, reviewers, editors, publishers etc are welcome! If you'd like to be on it, please reply to this. (Please RT to spread the word!)
- I learned this in my 20s. You HAVE to take breaks. You HAVE to recharge. You cannot work unrelentingly for too long without exhausting your reserves, and for creative work the results can be baffling and terrifying.This Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more
- Neighbor down the road is yelling at his dog and included the line, “just when I was beginning to trust you again” which I’m pretty sure is a concept going over the dog’s head.
- Taco Cat passed away last night. She was a good little cat, and I know she's somewhere happily watching birds. Going to put her in the garden next to the hazelnut tree. But this is going to be a sad week getting used to not hearing that little chirp in the morning.
- Just found out that Ben Bova has died, COVID-19-related complications. Edited a manuscript for him just a few months ago. Wear. Your. Goddamn. Mask.
- Today’s my 60th birthday. Feels very strange to have hit that mark.
- My least favorite thing about the whole "take a book to a bar" debate is that it showcases how, deep down in their sad souls, some people feel the act of reading is pretentious.
- I kinda feel like every time one of the derpy alt-logic crowd comes at me from now on, I'm just going to post this.
- If you didn't get taught this stuff in school -- I sure didn't -- think about why. Conservative Christians have worked for the last few decades to control textbooks and school boards for a reason.Thread: A lot of white people were shocked to learn about the bombing of Tulsa from HBO's "Watchmen" while most black people are familiar with the bombing of Black Wall Street. Even historians mention these events as isolated incidents.
- Every once in a while I think of the person who, 30 seconds after I'd tweeted joy in a major lifetime accomplishment, told me to "read the room" and chided me for expressing that due to stuff happening elsewhere in the world. Don't shit on people's happiness. We do remember.
