I realized today that after thinking about it for approximately twenty years, my favorite color has evolved from black to black-on-black.

We're celebrating Tor.com’s 15th anniversary all week long with a few gems from the archives! Today’s story is “The City Born Great” by @nkjemisin, edited by @2muchexposition and illustrated by @richiepope. #tordotcom15th tor.com/2023/07/20/the…

(Boop is the longer one, obviously.) Reasonably classy looking for ~$80 each of fans, filters, and tape! You can find instructions, info, and tips at cleanaircrew.org/box-fan-filter… (We know adding a shroud will improve efficiency! We'll do that tomorrow when we have more brain.) 2/2

Inspired by the atrocious air quality in the New York area and @WisConSF3's amazing efforts towards COVID prevention a few weeks ago, I darted off into the acrid air tonight and then @supertailz and I made 2 #CorsiRosenthalBox es. Here are our new pals, Beep and Boop. 1/?

@P_H_Lee I bet I will!

@2muchexposition Have a great time!

I got my act together very last minute and I'm en route to Madison for WisCon, with some time in Chicago tonight / Monday / Tuesday. I hope I'll see some of you there!

@sparkymonster Now that it's happening, I'm so excited!

We're on campus this weekend to inspire collaboration between writers and their profs, and hosting a few public events including an author panel this afternoon. There's more info on the project and events at dartgo.org/speculativefic…. We'd love to see you if you're in NH / VT!

This will culminate in an anthology pairing 8 authors I'm incredibly excited to be working with (Bo Bolander, Max Gladstone, Alice Sola Kim, Andrea Kriz, Sam J. Miller, Cam Rob, Nibedita Sen, and Kellan Szpara) with 8 Dartmouth faculty to write stories inspired by their work. 2/?

Briefly breaking out of a very long social media bankruptcy period to mention that I'm working on an extremely cool editorial+design project with Sharang Biswas, and the Design Initiative at Dartmouth. 1/?

@morganvoncross @Wiswell Checking twitter for the first time in A While and just saw this. Yes, the head was flying solo in the lobby and apparently I was constitutionally incapable of not meddling. But I was pleased to be a link in the chain of this whole series of events.

I met someone special.

@Yagathai I wish you were, too! I also wish I was having very many fancy meals, but I'm pretty much not eating indoors, which cuts out most of the fancy options. But luckily there is tons of amazing cheap food and I will eat enough of that for both of us.

@2muchexposition @chicagoworldcon Wish I was there, but know that I'm there with you in spirit as long as you are also at a fancy restaurant.

Breaking an accidentally v. robust social media hiatus to say that I'll be in Chicago for @chicagoworldcon! No programming, but I'll be around (except when I'm playing hooky to visit Chicago faves). Let me know if I should hope to see your face there or you wanna do a thing!

@jamie_culpon Just saw this, belatedly. Thank you for the kind words. Also, because I think you'd want to know, I don't ID as a woman. (Though I am politically allied with woman-hood.)

The women who saved my life? They let me run cusfs.org @2muchexposition is one of them, probably the most famous editor I've ever met. Period. I *know* I've met tnh/pnh a few times too. Liz scares the shit out of me, still. Liz is too wise. Too kind fools like me.

To those who care about WorldCon eligibility: I do not know why we argue over whether or not "a Games Hugo" is a real thing that should be given every year. All I know is that this is the most profound and brilliant active poet I know: @makyo_writes

@DeannaHoak @SarahPinsker @ecmyers @miminality @supertailz @KMSzpara Thank you! We are excite!

Haven't tweeted in ages, but this is Big News. I'm stepping down from my roles at @ErewhonBooks to pursue other projects. It's been a pleasure to work w/ @Sarah_Guan, @McFlyCahill90, @Kasie_Lane, @allsparra, and my amazing authors at Erewhon, but I'm excited for the next chapter.

@SarahPinsker @ecmyers @miminality @supertailz I know it seems preposterous, but we are all-but-closing on the castle! But it should be ours in early April. I was talking to @KMSzpara at WorldCon about designing dream writers' retreat curriculum and of course I hope you'll be up for that.

@2muchexposition @ecmyers @miminality @supertailz Wait, wait. My joke meter is off. Did you actually buy that castle??? I can't imagine you bought that castle, but I really want it to be true.

@Hugo_Book_Club Understandable. And, awww, Brian. :( I definitely did not know that, or I would have (lovingly) teased him about taking his slot.

@ecmyers @miminality @supertailz I'm not sure I knew that, either!

@sapphomancer Thank you so much, and what a pleasure to work on your books!

@Hugo_Book_Club I do believe that was true at the time, though I was closer to 28 (my birthday's in October). I'm surprised that hasn't been beaten since, though!
