Wheee!: no power since this morning. Power line the backyard was downed by falling limbs, now lying in a small pond of standing water. House is on Gen, but it doesn't cover the stove, laundry, garage, RV pad (where my home/trailer is hooked up) or my office. Brrrrr... Dining table is a lousy desk.

Eating pistachios in the shell is less 'having a snack' and more 'starting a new hobby'.

I am dependent on Amazon, too, but DAMN I hate their marketplace practices and have tried to avoid giving them my business for 20 years.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...

“Pulpy” is an understatement—yes. When I asked Lilith to write pulp I knew she would set that as the bar and then leap way the heck over it. And she did. Great review for a great book that you should preorder to make your future self happy.

ASL is distinctly better than even the best CC. I'd ask what sort of self-involved asshole doesn't want others to have equal access to information and entertainment, but why be redundant?

Submissions for our queer sword and sorcery anthology are open until January 15th. 8¢/word. <6000 words. Very keen on tyrant-killing, intimate stakes, unknowable magic, tiny loincloths, sweaty muscles, big thighs. Good to avoid: epic fantasy tropes. More info: www.neonhemlock.com/submissions

One of those days where social media definitely feels like a stock ticker for the apocalypse. Like it's a montage in one of those movies about the end of the world. Anyway! Here's a dog as a "bummer tax."

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Looking back at 2024 ✨ Without a doubt, my bestselling piece of art was Moon Call, a commission that has gone on to sell big limited edition prints and smaller open edition ones too. #art #magic #fantasyart #drawings #birdart

I fully expected Humphrey Bogart to rise from his grave to narrate Storm Waters. @katrichardson.bsky.social has managed to capture that gritty noir feel of post-prohibition Hollywood. Marty Storm is a tortured character, and the mystery takes twists I wasn't expecting. It's a noir and stormy ride.

Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.
