So happy to see SEASONS OF GLASS AND IRON on this NPR roundup for March! & so dislocating to see myself quoted on Pop Culture Happy Hour in 2021 & realize that was 5 years ago, instead of the 2-ish it feels like it ought to be

something sociologically fascinating about the volume & affect of penis-related spam I get, for which there is really no opposite-sex spam equivalent
WEEPING
He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.
The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.
This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.
because I keep forgetting to mention it: LITERALLY ANYONE can nominate books for this prize! yes! that means you! you have until march 31st!
Andy I pondered this question for fully five minutes before realizing who’d asked it!! Fancy meeting you here!!!
Alt text is important for accessibility but what we don’t talk about as much is that it’s also a great opportunity for joke density
#Ottawa, if you go outside RIGHT NOW (7:46pm), you van watch the moon rising. She's very orange and gorgeous tonight.
The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."
Unlike our previously nominated works (Splendor & Misery, and The Deep) DCS might not seem like a single continuous story, but there is an overarching narrative through-line hidden within it (co-written with @amalelmohtar.com). It's an easter egg that I don't think anyone has found yet
Attention Worldcon community—we just realized that the nominating period is open for this year's Hugo Awards. We have been finalists twice before (2016, 2017) and our 2025 album Dead Channel Sky—a dystopian cyberpunk rap rave—is eligible in the Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) category
Small pleasures: reading "This is Now You Lose the Time War" by @maxgladstone.bsky.social and @amalelmohtar.com again, to prepare before playing duet TTRPGs "Against Time and Death" by @ickbat.bsky.social and "The Words We Leaves Behind" by @whodo.bsky.social

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
My heart is so warmed by this & I am thrilled for this moment of self-discovery! May it lead you to splendid horrors of your own inimitable design!! (Also I’m presently reading THERE IS NO ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION & I think you might really dig it)
I coulda been faster but I’m so sleepy & I always prefer the green field
