‘SINNERS’ has become the highest-grossing live-action original film domestically in the past 15 years.

Oh I just realized this is just $145 away from the next stretch goal which is... drum roll "More mini art sketches ($7000). Why not, I ask." Why not INDEED.

Hey, my book sales have dried up almost completely now right now and I'm too sick to write faster, so I've started a patreon to help me cover expenses toward an upcoming medical treatment for my migraine treatment. Shares much appreciated!

The Punisher

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

It's completely wild to me just how well The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet has done already, and it's only been out for a month! Hundreds of ratings and reviews and people posting their copies with the cutest floral arrangements 🥰 Support pride, buy queer; not just this month but all the year!

Simone, no, that's the wrong part to walk back

If you are a book reviewer (blog, YouTube, tiktok, Goodreads, Reddit) and you want to review BURN UP IN VICTORY (or any of my work) let me know! I give review copies (typically digital)

More of the amazing Agami Heron, working on its nest here in #CostaRica. I'm going to be working with the owner over the next few months, helping to document this amazing site. #birds #nature #herons #conservation

Okay I did a cake update. I'm not joking. You need to prepare yourself.

Write the book, or the screenplay, or the poem, or the song. Do the drawing, the painting. Build the model. So what if it doesn't go well. Oh, so you made something that sucks? Big deal. It's not the end of the world. I am giving you permission to make art that sucks.

Your officially official FF#25 TOC, coming soon: Phoebe Billups, @jaqevans.com, Anna Ziegelhof, @tonydunnell.bsky.social, @joelhans.com, @suchnadine.bsky.social, @czwrites.bsky.social, @davidcleden.bsky.social, and @marisca.bsky.social, with art by @almosthomefree.bsky.social!

and speaking OF, just picked this up and it's great

Hey, thanks Portland readers and Powell's bookstore Hawthorne staff. My novel Annihilation was their #1 bestseller for May!! Thanks to @nan69.bsky.social for letting me know.

I guess it'd be a little too typical/on the nose to title Run With the Hunted 8 this

sorry, what do you mean AN ARCANE INHERITANCE is currently the 12th most popular book coming out in January 2026 on Goodreads????? and number 30 of all books coming out in 2026???? help, i'm cry www.goodreads.com/book/popular... www.goodreads.com/book/popular...

happy June on the range to those who celebrate (the horse is fine)

Not cool

French people when you misgender a door:

It took nearly 60 rejections before I got my first short story acceptance. And it was only after I started thinking “screw it, time to write to some weird unhinged stuff” that I finally sold something. Anyways, Happy 3-year Anniversary to my first fiction publication ever, "Ppaka" in The Dark.

Tomorrow is my last day in Japan! I prefer Kyoto to Tokyo. We're going to Disney! If you wanna drop anything for souvenirs: PayPal.me/panediting I'll be sad to leave but I'll be happy to be home 💖 Then I can post lots of queer stuff for Pride! Maybe there'll be a bookstore near Maihama Station.

BOOKSTORES OF THE PLANET EARTH! Or, well, bookstores of mostly North America. We know you took a hit during COVID, and we would like to do what little we can to help! So we are once again doing a PRE-ORDER CAMPAIGN for independent bookstores.

if you HAVE bought and/or read Run With the Hunted (you can also check it out on HOOPLA), thank you! Please leave a rating/review on Goodreads/Amazon so other readers can find it!

if it's raining where you are and you're looking for something to read, why not Run With the Hunted (well they'll run, you'll read)

I wrote a book of centos of found poetry from Stephen Graham Jones' MY HEART IS A CHAINSAW and you can buy it here (ebook on 7/3/25) www.kithbooks.com/shop/p/chain...

Oh, wow! @unicornempire.bsky.social is once again doing a run of October Daye T-shirts and tank tops, and they remain absolutely fabulous! Get yours today! unicornempire.com/products/oct...
