This book was so good that it made me angry that I didn't write it.

For I am a salt-hag. I know gull gossip. I know the calling and quelling of storms. My hair is wind-braided. My lips wear rough salt kisses. I stand on the cliffs and read omens pulled by the tide. Be well and avoid my anger. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #FolkWitchFriday #WitchSky

I read a paper recently and was shocked to learn we can potentially detect RAINBOWS ON EXOPLANETS. What. It's so cool! So I wrote about it for Scientiifc American. www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-... 🔭 🧪

Can we see rainbows on faraway exoplanets?

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Very rough drawing and color of a man sitting in a chair with a glass of whiskey and a card in his hands.

Last month, I had an industrial A/C unit installed, because the summers have been getting brutal enough that I wasn't sleeping and the cats were suffering. It is also a heater. I have just turned it on for the first time, and I don't think I HAVE this many cats. Where are they coming from?

The trouble with book tour is that I can't properly promote and shout about upcoming events when I'm on airplanes and running from one location to the next. Fun fun fun. But! Come see me tomorrow night in Redmond, WA for fun, and the kind of exhaustion that comes only from too much travel.

We all dream of that amazing out-of-nowhere contact from someone with so much faith in our work that they reach out first. And sometimes it happens! But even when it's real, no one legit will judge you for being cautious. Don't bite every hook that's dangled in your tank.

We got home from grocery shopping and my husband found this little guy hanging out on the side of our house (we don't see these often). He thought I would flee in gibbering terror, but instead, I said @seananmcguire.bsky.social would call her friend-shaped, and I got out of the car and snapped this!

This is basically a dollar a book, and each book is more than 150,000 words long. A penny per thousand words is a ridiculously low price point.

Recommend Josh Rothman on the global AI panic in today’s New Yorker, and not just because he opens by quoting Neuromancer. Seriously, though, this is a highly discerning look at what may be going on. (I’d link, but I’m a subscriber and assume it’s behind a paywall.)

I always sang for Alice. Her whole life, I sang for her. She knew "her" songs pretty well, and some of them would summon her. The last song I sang for her, as she was dying, was "Beautiful Beast" by @taliskimberley.bsky.social. I have not been able to sing it since. I've tried. It always fails.
