Oh hey y’all guess what I have a new book coming out in March 2025 & you can pre-order it if you want!
You can do so from anywhere, I recommend your local indie, but meanwhile here’s Macmillan’s link us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Pointing again at my US Blue State Challenge. If you live in a "blue state", pick the red state you hate the most and the issue you care about the most and find a group in that state working on that issue and support them.

One function of social media is to leave you permanently frozen in a state of "things can only get worse." This is not to say things can't -- and possibly will -- get worse. It is to say that nothing is inevitable, and we all have a role in creating the future, no matter how powerless we feel.

The excellent animated science fiction show _Scavengers Reign_ is now available on Netflix!

It was apparently unavailable in the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand until now.

(It was canceled by Max after its first season.)

CW (for the show) for some body horror.

I am begging everyone to watch Scavengers Reign when it releases on Netflix May 31st. Yes, streaming is the devil but this show is something special and the more eyes on it will not only get to see probably the best scifi animated series ever made but will help get it another season.

Legitimately, the energy you put out into the world always brightens my day! As a gay trans lady who cares a ton about writing, it's always fantastic seeing you out there doing what you do.

This is very much also an issue I had, ftr! I could barely keep the thread of an audiobook while driving at all, but ended up getting WAY more out of the format listening in other contexts.

Some recent faves: The Saint of Bright Doors; No Gods, No Monsters; My Heart is a Chainsaw; all of the Locked Tomb audiobooks. All books I've enjoyed a lot, but also really excellent narrators and production values.

When I went to see Monkey Man recently there was a pre-show interview thing with Dev Patel talking about some of his favorite movies, and the amount of time he spent waxing rhapsodic about Portrait of a Lady on Fire was super refreshing for this exact reason

Praying for the young people protesting across NYC and everywhere else. I am so sorry that you have to do any of this. The U.S. is facilitating and funding an ongoing genocide. You have every right to want that to end.

It takes a special kind of movie to maintain that much of a dour and ponderous tone THROUGH scenes of an astronaut fighting moon-buggy pirates and escaped space monkeys, I gotta say.
