Hey, fuck cancer.

A hotel story: I get to my room, and the door is unlocked, cracked open. Weird. Immediately check closet, bathroom, curtains, anywhere someone could hide. Room is in perfect conditions, no creepers. I call the front desk just to let them know. They say it's likely a housekeeping mistake. But then--

After all the Red Carpets, the ceremony itself, the after party & the after-after parties, nothing compares to the warm welcome upon my return home. 🐕 🐶 🐾 #Oscars2025

I really need to find a better balance between staying informed and needing to scream endlessly into a void.

If I ever go completely stark raving mad, just know that it is most likely I've been driven there by an endless succession of "password reset" attempts

Here’s this month’s blog post of open submission calls for #SFF, #mystery & #horror writers! Featuring food horror, spicy monsters, exploration of other worlds and supernatural parables. timjmajor.com/2025/03/04/o... #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Getting my thoughts together for my calls today, and all I REALLY want to do is shriek like a cicada. Why do THEY get to scream? At least I have a reason.

This is happening tomorrow! www.toppingbooks.co.uk/events/bath/...

Nottingham Waterstones tonight!

Proud of my 2023 novel, and 2024 Nebula and BSFA finalist (Lodestar longlisted), THE INN AT THE AMETHYST LANTERN! Its sequel, THE SECRET OF THE SAPPHIRE SENTINEL, publishes this autumn, and a prequel arrives in 2026! It’s a futuristic #fantasy and #sciencefiction story for the ages. #booksky #SFF

Thanks for all the good wishes and support around the launch of Future's Edge yesterday. Every post and repost was much appreciated, and it's good to know the book is finally, officially, out in the world.

I have been given permission to reveal the upcoming cover of Bee Speaker, book 3 of the Dogs of War series, coming this June. Mad Max futures, Martian invasions, mad lizards, fungus witches and embattled monks, none of which are quite what they seem.

Me rewatching Hannibal and thinking about how BEYOND CHEAP it would be to film BLOOM. All you need is a farm house and a farmer's market, pretty much. And some nice charcuterie. And a snail.

I wasn't aware it was announced, but I checked Phoenix Fan Fusion's Instagram site, and sure enough, there I was, so: Yes! I will be at Phoenix Fan Fusion the first weekend of June. See you there!

The epic burn!

Free speech?

Good morning, take this bird! photo by me

Call no man fortunate unless it is tree-crackingly cold outside and he has a fuzzy blankie and a cat that has just colonized the said fuzzy blankie

Today's Rancid Sixties Elliptical Cinema entry: Medium Cool. We were a country once. We made god damned movies once.

Ah, yes. When you receive the cover for one of your upcoming books and it is extremely rad but you can't share it yet but you WANT to share it but you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT. A universal vibe.

I'm taking a moment to cheer on my dear friend @authorhelengj.bsky.social's success with her debut novel, THE LAST RAVEN. She is one of the most wonderful people I have ever known. Also, I'm publishing her short story in our upcoming anthology, OF SHADOWS, STARS, AND SABERS. So proud of you, Helen!

No filters! Just some lighting, costumes, makeups, and a camera timer! #lowbudget #indiehorror #horrorcharacters #maincharactervibes #youtubers

I love a good ice pillar.

For many years when people asked me what inspired me to write, I would say "my mortgage." They laughed, which was the intent, but it was also true. Writing is my job, I don't have another. If I don't write, bills don't get paid.

I can see the mountains fully tonight for the first time in days.

Smudge update: Still recuperating but doing all right. Who knew male cat urinary tracts were so damn fiddly.

Because they’re Black, they must be looting? This isn’t an honest mistake. Spread truth, not lies: These folks weren’t looters. This footage is from KTLA, where the homeowner explained that her brothers & friends were helping her move belongings out of her burned house. (Her interview in the 🧵)

Baby gar burps! The alligator gar (Atractosteus spatula) can gulp air into its vascularized swim bladder which functions like a low-efficiency lung. This permits them to thrive in low-oxygen water (hypoxic) that might suffocate other fish.

I'm seeing a lot of GoFundMes today, for people displaced by disaster/war, and for other purposes, so if you/a friend have a GoFundMe (or other legit personal fundraising appeal) running, here's a thread for you to use to raise awareness. Go ahead and post the details and links in the comments.

'Piña colada' is Spanish: piña = "pineapple", colada = "strained," as in 'colander'. Drink recipes mixing pineapple and coconut with rum go back to 1820, with Puerto Rican pirate Roberto Cofresí, but the drink got a big boost from 1954 invention of method of mass-producing 'coconut cream'.
