Since apparently we don't talk about our books enough on here: hello I have one book out and the second is coming next month. If you can imagine Practical Magic + a Hallmark movie filtered through my lefty brain:

Disney: We can't come up with a premise for a new Muppet Show! Walmart: Mind if we borrow everyone to do a branded version of the Scrooge song? Disney: Sure, we're not doing anything else with them.

The PDC just handed more influence to rich and powerful special interests with nearly no warning. Control of the state Supreme Court is on the line. Initiatives attacking fundamental rights are on the ballot. This is a travesty.

Staying in a hotel tonight with absolutely zero human reception here in the building I hate the future.

oh, so when HE does it, he's revolutionary, but when WE do it, it doesn't count.

I got them "cats eye" nails which the older woman who did my nails informed me meant I was "on trend," to which I said "oh dear."

If hiding in a corn maze would keep the Talarico texts and emails from finding me, I would.

Worst timeline.

I have so much rage right now toward the fact that in this capitalist hellscape we live in, vulnerable people who need psychiatric care the most cannot afford it.

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

It's been almost thirty years since the first time I had this experience, and yet situations where I get to meet a large number of people I have only known and gotten close to online are still quite thrilling.

The state of book publishing has me doing stunts like pitching my book while upside down.

Thinking today about how Georgia is the one in our neighborhood that is trending blue and also Georgia has early voting. I wonder a lot what voting would look like in Alabama if we had something even that helpful.

Keep seeing references to the bit of the Shane Gillis SNL monologue about how women dress at the gym, but let's not fail to notice that he also used "I look like a lesbian" as part of deciding he had "hit fat rock bottom."

Dan Levy doing what more men should do -- calling out Shane Gillis's misogyny. This is the top story on Variety right now, alongside a report on Russell Brand's rape trial beginning. In case we're still wondering why women are angry variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Having abs is one thing. I have abs, I wouldn't be able to invert myself in the air if I didn't, but they have the cushy layer over top of a person who doesn't hate themselves.

They are playing 107.7 The End at the clay studio today and so far most of the bands I have heard in the last hour performed at Endfest 1998 which was my first festival and I wonder if the person currently choosing the songs was even born yet.

I've just learned that Freeplay has removed me as a sponsor for Parallels due to an accusation from a speaker that I am a "zionist". Where did the speaker get this idea? Because Unpacking was included in a listicle in an online Jewish publication a few days ago. I didn't even know about the article.

Nice of Starbucks to build some spaces perfectly suited to coffee shops and then abandon them to better coffee shops, like the first wave of brambles in the meadow that give way to bigger trees in the forest succession

With all of the Starbucks locations closing, the only places you can get espresso in Uptown these days are Caffe Ladro, Orange Goose Coffee, Nielsen's, Sugar Bakery, Caffe Zingaro, Caffe Vita, the Grounds Keeper, Ceres Roasting, Konvene Coffee, Cafe Hagen, Citizen Collective, Turtle Coffee...

absolutely thrilled to announce that I worked on STAR WARS: Galactic Racer!! I’m so so proud to have worked with such an all star team on this amazing game. can’t wait to see what you think ✨

Good energy needed because today my agent takes not one but two horror novels on sub for me.

If anything, the genre of relationships is about the last thing we want machines defining for us. Especially given who owns most of those machines.

Holy shit.

Seattle, please note that @anandwrites.bsky.social is reading at @townhallseattle.bsky.social on Wednesday. His new book offers the best writing about our current political moment that I’ve read.

Playing Hob's Barrow right now and cannot recommend it enough.

Steam Fall sale is ON! Too brain tired after Nighthawks launch to do a proper marketing for this right now. In the meantime, I will have blind faith that public desire for our games transcendes the need for me to tell everyone to buy them. There. Nailed it. store.steampowered.com/developer/Wa...

one lesson in this thoughtful, incisive thread is maybe don’t shit on what other people find valuable. just because it’s not for you doesn’t make it or the people who do love it stupid or worthless or silly or whatever else.

Give me romance and don't condescend to me. And keep your lit fic which continually thinks its reinventing the wheel. Stop pretending people being depressed and breaking up (or 'discovering reality') is more innovative than people navigating human relationships and love. Just stop.

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

I hope between Sheep Detectives and Coyote VS Acme a case has been made for "family movies" (not kids' movies an adult can enjoy but genuinely for all ages) because there used to be so many and then they just disappeared.

Hobbs Barrow just let me choose to slap a man for propositioning my character for a kiss and I think that's grand.

another day at the machine learning factory. everyone keeps asking me if the machine is intelligent. buddy, they won’t even let me fuck it
