For those unaware there have been reports of bed bugs in the Wyndham. If you attended Anthrocon and stayed in the Wyndham or went there it will be wise to check in (412) 391-4600 for the hotel

if you loved someone's writing and you now find out that their sexual ethics are awful to you... I just want to say that it says nothing about you that you loved their work and nothing about you that you learned from the work. if the work 'changed your life', consider that you did that yourself.

b/c someone asked for this and I don't have time to write a pamphlet: How to promote on social media without sounding like you're being held hostage: 1. Link your books with joyfulness "Hey! I have a new release!" vs "I guess I should link my books not that it matters."

One of the biggest lies of lots of speculative fiction is the one where, once you reveal the horrifying conspiracy to the world, there are consequences for the perpetrators. Because "people won't stand for it", etc. In real life it turns out folks will be like, "yeah but it wasn't /that/ illegal".

When you start thinking that people who make dark art must surely be dark people, remember that Cannibal Corpse vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher is famous for playing claw machines on tour and donating the stuffed animals he wins to local toy drives and children's hospitals.

Just found out about a massive data leak at Twitter/X. I don't use it anymore but I keep my account alive so no one else can claim my username. I just changed my password and suggest others do too. Also use 2FA whenever you can.

In a future divided America, a lone bookstore straddles the border between two new nations. But it's getting harder to avoid choosing a side.

My story "The Bookstore at the End of America" just got a beautiful audio adaptation from Cast of Wonders:
