If you're in or near Norwood next Thursday, come have a chat about writing. Norwood's Morrill Memorial Library 7-8PM norwoodlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/tal...

Things I have liked recently: K-pop Demon Hunters, Arcane, Holly Humberstone. Please, what are some other good things I should know?

I just want to say that I don’t like Jon Ossof and I’m already bummed by his anointing.

Would love to see an analysis of which police departments saw higher than usual requests for time off today. Why? No reason.

getting hype for this MA event at @copperdogbooks.bsky.social with @ceciliatan.com @tbjacobs.bsky.social & @omgjulia.bsky.social

good point consider picking up CYBERSCION by @tbjacobs.bsky.social & THE MYSTERY OF TH BITTEN PEACH by @ceciliatan.com for half off and nominating purposes or, you know, pay full price to support indie SFF if you got those kind of dollars 💸

Fantastic cover: Greenwitch by Susan Cooper #thedarkisrising

Forgot that this won the Newberry #thedarkisrising

Read this as a kid and am now borrowing my son’s copy. #thedarkisrising

@noahkahan.bsky.social somehow finding even higher heights with The Great Divide. Fucking hell, 10/10 perfection. I’m not given to hyperbole or false praise. This album is a masterpiece.

Thinking of calling the sequel to Cyberscion... Cyber2cion

Currently reading Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson
