I tend to blog when no one's online. 😕 Weekends. Late night on Turtle Island. So... Letting you all know: I'm still doing the happy dance! Hope you'll check out why. brightflame.com/the-stars-al... @press-android.bsky.social @justinenortonkertson.com #BookSky #WitchSky #SpecLit #book #reading #SFF

The Stars Aligned: New Publisher ⋆ BrightFlameI'm thrilled to announce: Android Press is my new publisher! They are very aligned with my work in the world and with The Working.brightflame.com

In hindsight, I could have done an unboxing vid for the new printing of The Working from @press-android.bsky.social . Duh. Didn't do one with the original publishing because the books went directly to Readercon & I didn't get there first! But that's cool. (@stevendbrewer.com) #BookSky #WritersLife

A lovely, breezy day: sitting near a river with iced mocha, beta reading an excellent YA fantasy. The book is a pleasure to read and I hope someday you all will get to see what I mean! #SFF #BookSky #WritersLife @bsfwriters.bsky.social

Check out @renanbernardo.com 's blog, Into the Hyperspace. He interviews amazing, award-winning authors. I'm flattered to be among them this week! 👀 Magic in #solarpunk, books I recommend, fun illustrations, & impetus for my novel. renanbernardo.beehiiv.com/p/into-the-h... #BookSky #WitchSky #SFF

Into the Hyperspace: BrightFlame and The WorkingI wrote the novel to answer the question "What can we do about those causing catastrophic harm to our planet and all who live here?"renanbernardo.beehiiv.com

I get exponentially more spam, even on email addresses I reserve for a narrow range of things. Like med. Hackers--likely LLMs--are easily harvesting our emails from sites with (kind of) high security. Like our doctors' portals that have multi-factor logins. 💩💩💩🤬 #BanAI

Guess who?!!!

The Working is the Aug book club pick at Read Mill Book in NJ! They pair discussion w activity each month. For my book, making seed paper! Cool! (and aligned w the eco flavor of The Working! Join us if you're near 8/25: www.readmillbooks.com/events-2-1/b... Great space & people #WitchSky #BookSky

Just viewed @authorsguild.org webinar on how AI finds books for readers. Update book description! Put specific bits up top with comps. Describe vibe, setting, & details that interest your readers. I'm not advocating AI! That's how readers find next reads now. #WriteSky #WriteTips #WritingCommunity

Major storms here (NY/NJ). Lightning & booming for hours. Nearby strikes. I donned rain gear & tall boots to pick up farm share, drove out... No farm today. Tree down on our road & I can't get out. Still. No wildfires. Few tornados. Unlike so much of globe. #ClimateCrisis #BanFossils #renewables

Oooo...if you are on Insta, see the wonderful book trailer @press-android.bsky.social made for The Working! 🤩🥰☀️ www.instagram.com/p/DbVsDbjlFb...

Yes! I'm so glad @darkerthanvanta.bsky.social wanted to guest blog on my site. AI as extractive and colonizing--a potent addition to #NoAI actions. (More guest posts on the way)

Why am I doing a happy dance? Here's another hint. More soon! #WritingCommunity #BookSky #WitchSky

I'll soon have a big announcement! (Ok, couldn't wait, I disclosed it already on my site) Exciting! #HappyDance 💃☀️ #WritersLife #BookSky #WritingCommunity #WitchSky

Make some noise, you all! Make sure the so-called SAVE (save who?) Act in the US does not pass. Spotlight & thwart all the tricks to disenfranchise US voters.

👀 a new way (to me) to frame the issue. Spot on! #NoAI

I love @darkerthanvanta.bsky.social 's frame of LLM & AI as colonization. She shoots down various excuses for generative AI (inevitable, etc) and shows the harms of this extractive tech. Here's her guest column on my site: brightflame.com/the-land-ack... #WritingCommunity #technofascism #NoAI

I'm turning... oh no! into a.... sports fan??? Loved watching the Knicks and now last few World Cup games. (Congrats Spain) Am I in an alternate universe? A horror show??? 😂😱😁👾

Even the NYC Poetry Festival was canceled today on Governors Island. (smoke, air quality, storms) I'm so glad we moved my "Harvesting Our Screams" workshop to virtual. Starts in 30 min. Now I'm amidst thunderstorms but in my home. #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis #Climate

Oh the irony! Postponing a #climate workshop due to wildfire smoke and bad air quality caused by fossils. Yes, this is my scream workshop 😱😱😱 Watch for new date, NYC friends.
