Kickstarter for a new @Cal_of_Fools anthology dropping soon! kickstarter.com/projects/calen…

What's the weirdest protagonist of a story you've written?

"Evil lemon" planet with carbon atmosphere! newscientist.com/article/250892…

My first Omelas response story is out in @sciphijournal ! sciphijournal.org/index.php/2025… So glad I could contribute to the tradition started by Ursula Le Guin and carried on in some of my favorite stories by Isabel Kim, NK Jemisin, and others.

One of my writing groups, Calendar of Fools, is going to be running another Kickstarter for a Missed-Fits anthology. Follow if you're interested in when it launches. If the KSer funds, there will be an open call in March or so. kickstarter.com/projects/calen…

My saddest poem "Cultured Methodologies" is out in @WorldsofIF #179. So cool to share a table of contents with @AiJiang_ , Robert Silverberg, and others! worldsofifmagazine.com/home

Just sold my "The Ones Who Walk Away From New Jerusalem" to @sciphijournal. This isn't one I expected to sell because it's probably my most blasphemous story (generally in keeping with the character of the #UrsulaLeGuin story it's a response to).

I'm going to slush for UFO 10 (Unidentified Funny Objects), but only if the Kickstarter funds. So chip in if you can and you want to support an under-appreciated sub-genre of spec fic. Only 5 days left. It's going to be close! kickstarter.com/projects/ufopu…

Another writing first for me: had a swear word censored by an editor!

My Bible translation into alien languages story out in @PenumbricMag! Also first time I'm #1 in a table of contents.

@PrintedRiffs @GovEvers this is the source: wallethub.com/edu/best-state…

@GovEvers I’m guessing you held this pole in your office with those who you pay. Congrats even getting #4

The results are in, folks! Wisconsin was ranked the #4 BEST state to live in, and you bet we beat out all of our Midwest neighbors.

My @WotFContest-winning story "A Word That Means Everything" reprinted in @PenumbricMag. New achievement for me because I'm first in a ToC for the first time!

My microessay "Orality and Respawn" about how oral traditions can address a problem in game storytelling is out in Crepuscular. It's one of the few works I've had two absolutely bomb titles for, the other being "Retold and Replayed" patreon.com/posts/microess…

@lizbusby and get a website blocker and unplug your Echo or other assistant device.

I talk about this letter on the last day of my writing classes. Spot on advice.

Big writing news for me. Just signed for my poem "Why We Give" to appear in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine! Selling "Why We Give" taught me you can turn any kind of experience into saleable words, even bleeding into a bag for the @RedCross.

Best line I wrote yesterday didn't drop while I was writing: "Morality's above our paygrade, isn't it?" Also perhaps my best six word story.

@AJWTheology It's possible this is only the Psalmist reflecting on his own relationship with God rather than a claim about how Christians/people in general relate to God. In the same way that prophets share a unique relationship with God that is not the same as God's relationship with others.

“Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother's womb.” —Ps 71:6 God, our midwife.

@RobertJSawyer maybe not every book: lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/the-bo…

LOCUS Online today reports the opening of a new literary agency that says that it "focuses on adult fiction and non-fiction, as well as books for children.” So ... books. It focuses on books. 😀
