God, I got another email asking why I write non-binary characters in my Fantasy novels. The answer is obvious: because non-binary people are awesome.

People are surprised that I bought a creepy doll to promote my new book... as if I wasn't the 'I will post my werewolf game when the moon is full' guy. As if I wasnt the 'messages in binary code' guy. I *am* that guy. I'm the gimmick guy. If there's a shtick to stick, then I'm sticking that shtick.

one time i was in the elevator going to my own event, next to a woman holding a stack of my books. i was like "we're going to the same place 😏" and she said "i'm so not a fan, but signed copies get more on ebay" and i said "i'm so sorry for what's about to happen"

I will be okay. Not because everything is fine, but because I am surprisingly difficult to destroy. Says Skeletor who notices being hard to destroy sure doesn’t mean a bunch of asshoes don’t keep trying.

There's probably a couple of people I'd put under a steamroller, but I won't say who they are, otherwise when they see a steamroller coming their way they'll be on full alert. And steamrollers don't go very fast..."

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

I had tickets to WorldCon 2020. It was going to be my first international trip. Then the pandemic happened. It can't replace that WorldCon but if it's in Brisbane, that means I (and many others in the Southern Hemisphere who missed out on Wellington) might actually be able to attend!

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Bluesky gets a screenshot of my tumblr because I can't do italics and strikethroughs here.
Your inner self is a nuclear reactor and if you spend all your time 'nurturing' it (keeping it cool, calm, contained) you won't be able to spin any turbines. It's good to do self care, but ultimately, if you never actually turn up the dial, that energy will fizzle. Soft and safe is good sometimes, but not all the time. Once in a while, you need to heat that bitch up. Really let things bubble, ya know? Play around! Get creative! Express yourself! Drop more uranium into the core, just to hear the crackle pop. My advice to all nuclear power plant workers: get jiggy with it. Same goes for people. Otherwise, what's the point? And sure, if it explodes, millions will die, such is the price of nuclear power art. But what's the alternative? Not reaching your full devastating (radioactive) potential? That's the real tragedy.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com
Two archaeologists stand in a trench looking at an unearthed, fossilised, time machine and a tyrannosaurus skull in whose jaws is a human skeleton holding an aerosol can. One says: “These fossils would appear to suggest that, while Professor Cooper's time machine was a great success, his dinosaur repellent formula was not.”
