Have you ever noticed that the last week of February is abruptly here and that you have exactly two days (evenings after work, really) to read The Vor Game in its entirety? You haven't? Um, me neither...😬

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

We get a fair amount of I guess you'd call them pitch emails, from people who want to come on the show to promote some (typically irrelevant) thing or other, and almost 100% of them start with "Dear Hugo," and it's like... nobody here is named Hugo, y'all. 😅

This is a big deal bc the ABA usually is not just nonpartisan, but tries to be mostly apolitical. The rule of law is nonpartisan. “We urge every attorney to join us and insist that our government, a government of the people, follow the law. It is part of the oath we took when we became lawyers.”

The line for the parking lot was so long that I got out of the car in the middle of the road while @rudie54.bsky.social (a real one) went to find parking in a nearby neighborhood. Standing room only and the book sold out. A huge success! Grab your copy & note your 2026 Lodestar list: a.co/d/dm4gNz8

I named my caiman lizard Neil Caiman back before all the shitty stuff came out about Neil Gaiman. I would like to propose we forget Gaiman exists entirely and replace him with my lizard.

I had a great time doing a writing podcast with the always awesome Hugo Girl team. Had fun talking about my journey to publication & the ways the writing community helped me get to this milestone.

Our first snow day since 2017 seemed like a good time to break out our fantasy-inspired cookbook for a hearty soup. This soup was inspired by Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver, and it is delicious!
