Finally reading The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett and it is the BEST thing I've read in ages. Absolutely loving it.

Continuing my read through this year's Hugo nominees. I've just read Never Eaten Vegetables by H.H. Pak and, wow, I'm still recovering. It's heartbreaking, it's grounded, it's human and intelligent. Man alive, I'd kill to write something that good.

The newsletter this month is all about hellfire, hellish books, hellish short stories, and an exclusive flash fiction piece about a demon who is banished to eternal slumber by a cheese danish. I only update quarterly, so I promise not to spam your inbox!

Happy to announce my poem, Good Morning Forgetfulness, has been selected for inclusion in a future issue of @kaleidotrope.bsky.social !

The Hugo Voter's packet is here! It always feels like Christmas. So many amazing entries this year!

Incredibly honored to have a new piece out in the latest issue from @pinchjournal.bsky.social . Look at that gorgeous cover!

I think I'm going to sign up for the next NYC Midnight Flash Fiction challenge. Anyone want to join me? nycmidnight.com/ffc

I'm obsessed with this Chinese fashion portrait company. I think they're called AVIVA photo group. It's hard to figure out exactly what their deal is, but their portraits are stunning. h.iaviva.com/2020/2020121...

Oh no, all my library requests became available at the same time!

Last year, every time I get a rejection, I printed it out and pinned it to the wall in a big stack. Earlier today, the stack fell off the wall. The little push-pin was unable to hold the weight any longer.

Psyched for this one!

Hugo nominations are open and I need more eligible SFF poems for my ballot. Send recommendations! "A science fiction or fantasy poem of any line length or word count published for the first time in 2025."

Wow. I massively overuse the word perch/perched. Things are perching left and right, snow, people, buildings. Gimme a noun, I can perch it.

Best adjective (really, compound adjective) in the book so far: "ever-ebullient." 🫧 Ebullient literally means boiling or fizzing. Such a perfect word for the character it describes.

Sabon appreciation post. Original type by Jan Tschichold. Type specimen by Stephanie Lee.

Just finished The Calorie Man by Paulo Bacigalupi. Holy mackerel, what a great story.
