I'm halfway through Hungerstone and all I want is a movie of it with Aubrey Plaza as Carmilla.

Did two job interviews in the past two weeks, for MUCH higher paid positions than I currently work. It would be gutting to leave my current job, but inflation has taken a huge chunk out of my spending power, so it's time.

I had to go get some Emergency Chickens so that my hen Buffy wouldn't be alone in the coop. She hates these peeping adolescents. They're the Clue Crew-- Nancy, Bess, George, and Deirdre.

I lost two chickens today, Wynonna and Carmilla. That leaves me with only one left, so I had to go get some emergency pullets. I succeeded, but boy is been a day. Ugly crying in the chicken coop because Buffy doesn't understand why her sisters are gone.

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Today: We found out a coworker I've worked with for eight years is in critical condition and probably won't make it through the week. I got bit by the puppy I'm pet sitting. And my chicken Wynonna got attacked by the others and they ripped her wing open, so I've had to separate her. Fuck today.

Watching the second season of Deadloch makes me want to point and yell, "SEE! You can make a show this queer! It doesn't even change the plot! You can have more than one queer person! More than two! More than FIVE! It's not that hard! And it's still accessible to a general audience! It's possible!"

A fantastic read from @sarahjeong.bsky.social on what it's like to be gassed and the violence in the streets right now. On a meta level, I also love the framing; the title and card make it look like just another product buying guide, but it is very much not that.

I’m coping with The Horrors™️ by rewatching The Good Place and like… it’s SO GOOD and also there are no other characters like these (except as antagonists). Like, Eleanor is constantly fighting her own selfishness and pettiness, but you get to see her succeed at it, and I think that’s rare.

Since Baker and Taylor shuttered, I've basically only been doing busywork at work because we can't get any new books. So I've spent a lot of time looking at the news. Relatedly, my mental health is suffering. Every day there's at least one headline so stupid I almost die from it.

I actually talk about this all the time in the context of writing. Either 1) someone will claim that they had a great idea but wish they could beam their thoughts into the page, or 2) they'll act like if they DON'T have some divine inspiration or a unique enough idea, they can't write.

It's going to be a ROUGH time for libraries for awhile. The biggest wholesale library book vendor, Baker & Taylor, is closing, and there's no way their competition can absorb their massive client base. So... expect delays on your new stuff while thousands of libraries scramble frantically. 😭

I'm rewatching Legend of Korra for the first time since it aired, and boy. This plot about government overreach and detaining people en masse for "associating" with "terrorist groups" really hits different in 2025.

Last night I was sitting on the patio of the local gay bar and a big loud truck drove by and threw an empty can at me (well, he threw it at *us*, the queers, but he hit me). Not exactly a hate crime, but it is a reminder that even in a city big enough to have a gay bar, some people still hate us.
