IT Manager: My phone’s blowing up. What did you do? Intern: You said to send the signal so I sent it. IT Manager: Wait. THAT can?? Oh my God. [gets on phone] Luigi, get in there and tell the cardinals they’ve got to pick someone NOW. Yes now!! Or we’re going to look like idiots!

Kudos to NYT for using the Carmen Sandiego shot

So many characters... I had to throw a lifeline to the readers!

Hey folks, join me in NYC next week for the final stops in the WHEN WE WERE REAL tour. Wed May 14 at KGB with Carol Gyzanger Thur May 15 at P&T Knitwear with Debbie Urbanski celebrating WWWR and her new collection, PORTALMANIA ptknitwear.com/events Doors open at 6:30 for both

For the past ten or so years I've been really into this band that's a combo of ambient and white noise--they put out an endless stream of content and they're playing in my ears constantly. Anyway, if you have a chance, check out Tinnitus.* *big fan argument about how to pronounce it

Next Wednesday, join us with Daryl Gregory & Carol Gyzander at our Fantastic Fiction at KGB reading series. Come one, come all! @darylwriterguy.bsky.social @carolgyzander.bsky.social @datlow.bsky.social

I'm fine with Trump's June military parade if he follows his two dolls and five pencils logic and downsizes it to one tank, one soldier, and one aircraft flyover.

Editing these opening chapters of the new book, I'm reminded of Michelangelo working on the David, chipping away everything that didn't belong, or as he famously said, "There's got to be a pony in here somewhere."

Very happy to have my wacky homage to Iain Banks on this list!

Always nice when a story shows up speaking a new language, looking spiffy. Here’s “I’m Not Disappointed Just Mad AKA The Heaviest Couch in the Known Universe.” In French in @lebelial.bsky.social BIFROST and in Chinese in SCIENCE FICTION WORLD. Those illos!

The Locus 2025 Fundraiser isn’t just about cool stuff (though there’s plenty of that). It’s about keeping science fiction & fantasy journalism alive. Help us thrive—May 5. Get updates: locusmag.com/newslet... #SupportLocus #LocusLegacy

Old enough to remember when the right was enraged by this kind of thing.

Happy Indie Bookstore Day! Paper Boat Booksellers is a lovely and lively shop just blocks from my house. Great vibe and supportive of local writers, as you can see!

Aw thanks for the kind words! So glad you dug it

The French make a bomb called ASSHAMMER and no don’t correct me that’s its name now

The rabbit is the clue that we’re through the looking glass

Ari Fliakos also narrated my book Spoonbenders—he’s fantastic! Hope you dig it, GC

Derryl’s been sweeping the Drl Awards (all spellings valid) season after season—and now my submission for this year is literally in his hands

This was a great panel! We answered the question of the panel title with a definitive Yes

Full podcast is live! I had a blast.

I had a great time talking to Paul Semel about the simulation, comedy, and simulated comedy— check it

About to run a session for the Norwescon Writers Workshop and it’s a little alarming to have this huge guy looming outside the window, hiding behind some piney friends, judging us

My copy of Locus came in the mail—hello there you gorgeous neon sheep! Thanks to Fran Myman for the illo and Liza Trombi for the interview and Tim/Melody Pratt for the editing— basically the whole team at @locusmag.bsky.social

Oh man so glad you dug the book and it got to be a part of this balanced breakfast

Hope you dig it, Stephanie!

Always nice to walk into a store and have your book waiting for you. Here at Third Place Books (the big one) ready to hang with @mickmatthew.bsky.social !

Just a few hours! Come on out, you'll be happy you did. Matt's a writer you should know. Besides, what are you doing on Tuesday night that you can't do tomorrow?

Spotted by my daughter— this professor may work in Minnesota but we know where her heart lives

Oh god there are two morons in this bar going on and on about weak women interfering with their “manly duties” whatever the hell that is and Jesus Christ

What a great night! My thanks to everyone who came out Sf in Sf, and to @sfinsfevents.bsky.social for hosting me and @nghivo.bsky.social The dinner after was also a blast

Come out to Third Place Books Lake Forest Park on tax day! I’ll be in conversation with the great Matt Sullivan @mickmatthew.bsky.social celebrating the launch of MIDNIGHT IN SOAP LAKE which is fricking brilliant.

Sunday night! I will open with a prayer. Not the usual kind.

Always nice seeing copies in the wild... available now from @slashichorrorpress.bsky.social books2read.com/wasteground

Always a good day when a new book by @marcruvolo.bsky.social shows up
