It feels almost unfair to say I have the sequel to @stgibson.bsky.social ‘s SAVAGE BLOOMS in my hot little hands and I am absolutely delighted with it so far.

Neil Gaiman should never be readmitted to polite society. A man with that much money and power, actively putting up a smokescreen of progressivism to conceal his predation, can never be trusted.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Alright. I’ve grown wine cap mushrooms. They’ve popped up where I planted them. They have root looking rhizomes, the little ring around their long stems, they’re darkish at the tops and have a purple black spore stem………… why can’t I convince myself to eat them.

Trying to give my children all my own romantic childhood memories of foraging hickory nuts and catching bass and bluegill only to realize that the difference between us is I was taught all these skills by expert relatives who relied on these skills to eat, and I am an enthusiastic amateur hobbyist.

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

The rich feel safe advocating for this shit because they have enormous resources to protect their investments & you do not. Further eroding the barriers of intellectual property between creator & corporation merely hastens the speed at which what's yours is theirs. What's theirs will still be theirs

I know you’re not supposed to acknowledge the haters, but for a minority of them the real scary part of WAKE THE BONES was having to empathize with the fears and experiences of queer rural teens for like, two seconds and that still drives me nuts to this day. Can’t win ‘em all, but…

No hate to farmers, this is said with adoration and respect, but I think a lot of the homesteady raw milk drinkers who “trust their farmer” but don’t trust pasteurization did not grow up around farmers. Pasteurization is the same every year and has never had to cut a corner to put food on the table.

Everyone doing this work for any period of time knew this was coming. It's no longer "I'll do it some day," as so many thought to themselves when we threw warnings out in 2020, then 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. NOW is beyond time for doing something to protect your libraries.

Telling a story, creating a scene and crafting a sentence are three different skills. How you learned to do each gives your writing a distinct flavor and your grasp of each informs the effectiveness of the other. I’ve never seen AI come close once to holding all those threads in tension at once.

I keep thinking my pregnancy wasn’t that bad/riddled with emergencies but I’ve spent the entire day catching up on business I let drop last October. Which isn’t a… shining endorsement of how well the subsequent months went. And the fact that I’m explaining surgeries plural. Not great? Maybe?

Honestly one of the best parts of being a published writer is when I meet someone whose work touched me as a younger person, and that person says they like my writing. It's like a time-bending circuit has formed between my adult self and my young self and it's made of happiness and satisfaction.
