Ok yea maybe the dodgers lost and I got two rejections in one day but also I did get henri’s perquisition from mephisto. BEHOLD!!! MY CAT SON!

My novel Unspeakable Things is out today — here's the latest (short) review in Book Pages, with an accompanying interview. Thanks so much to everyone who pre-ordered the book and offered support — I'm very grateful!

Once again, Wen Wen domination!!!!!

GOOD EVENING DODGERS NATION!!!! How are we feeling? Moisturized? Satiated? Pleased and tickled pink????

Wait. I love toy trains, pulp sci fi, a good craft beer, and gardening videos. Am I??? An old man???

Listening to baseball on the radio and playing Diablo. I am in my bro maxxing era ✨

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

I do not feel embarrassment. I feel art.

Baseball playoffs, apothecary diaries s3, great British bake off. Ahhh yes, October.

Watching great british bake off, and 30 cookies in 2 hours? Marie, mom of 3 in the Chicago suburbs, could crush this challenge in her sleep.

Antagonizing romancelandia is like a ground attack on Russia during the deep winter. Retreat! Retreat!!

When you write a character, situation, or ending that is bad, you as the author are endorsing the bad. Not only is depiction therefore condoning, but also you as the reader are irrevocably, forcibly, molecularly changed. Murder mystery books are actually responsible for 1000% of murders. Be careful!

nothing this guy writes is worth the calories it takes to read it, but it's wild to see a man publicly admit that he thinks there are only two types of people in the world: him, and Minorities

Something something rule 34

Refusing to understand the throwing salt over shoulder thing. Unless you are trapped in a live slug and need to get out while running. Only acceptable waste of salt clearly.

Cast of Wonders 696: The Purpose of a Pyromaniac Descendent by Wen Wen Yang narrated by Pine Gonzalez hosted by Alicia Caporaso produced by Jeremy Carter First published in Tales & Feathers, February 2025 www.castofwonders.org/2026/08/cast...

My very talented friend Micah has a story in the latest Strange Horizons and it's well worth your time, especially if you love-hate the internet

Oh no! Anyways-

“What are you working on right now” is such a loaded question. Consider lower stakes options like “what’s your most embarrassing personal trauma?” And “what’s your ao3 handle”

My @clarionucsd.bsky.social student @hellotherexu.bsky.social has a story out in @analogsf.bsky.social ! analogsf.com/wp-content/u...

Update: my father has finished the story. His thoughts: good. But why kind of sad?

we are so lucky to have lived during the dolly years

Growing up dolly Parton was the butt of so many jokes, so much blatant misogyny. And yet she just kept making music, donating books, and helped fund the Moderna vaccine. What an example of someone doing good for the sake of good. May we all leave such a legacy on the short time we have here.

STREAM wait i mean READ AUDREY

My reaction to this piece is as follows:

You do not need AI to make art. You just need a love for cats.

One of these years I’m going to make it to the Minnesota state fair just to see the crop art. I’m not even kidding. People are out there using heirloom seeds to make incredible commentary on the political times. Punk but make it buckwheat and corn.

"That Summer at Aunt Jackie’s Alpaca Farm" was written at Viable Paradise with the prompt of cottage core and alpacas. I added eldest sibling angst and magical wool. Enjoy!
