Idiots, criminals, and traitors. I give you today's Republican Party.

Spent the early afternoon shoveling shit. As one does. This is composted chicken poop and coop shavings that's been down for about a year and is now just gorgeously full of nutrients for seedlings. Nature's Gold. #homesteading #gardeningsky

It’s my birthday! All I want is for folks to signal boost Buried Long, Long ago. Give it a RT, post your pre-order, ask for an ARC, share a quote, whatever!

Robert Downey, Jr. Could have played Ferris Bueller. And he'd have been great.

Another weekend, another @scalzi.com earworm.

National Endowment for the Humanities has become an oxymoron.

Is it okay if I refer to your children as "skin babies"?

Start imagining how you'd prepare to get through a one week consumer strike/economic black out. What would you need to have before it began? What can you easily live without? What alternatives could you switch to? Now imagine that for a full month. Then a year. #economicblackout #feb28 #boycott

How long before Amazon Prime announces Zach Snyder will be the producer-director of the upcoming 007 films?

If the price of eggs is directly tied to bird flu, I'm certain that ignoring bird flu, firing the scientists researching bird flu, and eliminating public bird flu information will bring those prices down any day now.

I'd be a lot more likely to buy the argument that we're qt risk of devaluing the dollar if they didn't have a huge fucking tax cut for billionaires in their budget.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Make our representatives and senators more afraid of us than they are of Trump/Elon/MAGA.

Feeling very emotional about this little piece of bark I found.

Google has memory holed The Gulf of Mexico.

Trump/Musk's dismantling of our republic has only shifted about 4% of Americans against him. They're still nearly even steven. newrepublic.com/article/1917...

#SFFChat Q4: Here's some action from my debut novel, "The Dent in the Universe."

#SFFChat Q3: The MC of "The Aurora's Pale Light" starts his journey in the middle of a California wildfire and ends it on a ship plowing through the arctic ice. That dichotomy is a sort of motif through the whole book.

#SFFChat Question 2: I keep trying to find ways to expand the reader's minds the way mine was blown open by Stanley Kubrick.

#SFFChat Question 1: Mornings. Not technically weather but with a decent HVAC system, the weather outdoors has less of an impact. Morning's are nice because I haven't had to switch contexts three or four times before I set out to write.

#SFFChat Intro: I'm Doc. I'm a writer of hard, dark, thrilling #ScienceFiction. I've made the #SecretSciFiNetwork starter pack just for science fiction creators, reviewers and fans on my profile page. Here's a snippet from "The Aurora's Pale Light" that is very science fictiony:
