People these editions are so fantastic. The hardest part is deciding whether to shelve them with or without dust jackets. Incredible stamped leather? Beautiful alternate cover art? A conundrum of the highest order.

In House of Dragons and Game of Thrones, how do the dragon riders control their dragons? They've got handlebars and reins and none of it makes sense in the air. These aren't sapient dragons; they're just smart animals.

Every few weeks, I am reminded of the word 'concatenate' and I have to re-process my grief over the fact that it doesn't mean 'to add more cats'.

This person's perspective is an insult to real creatives with disabilities. And the 'tools' part misses the point. You have to actually write the book to be a writer. If you're just an idea person, that's neat, but don't claim to be a writer if you don't actually write. 1/x

Next Tuesday, 5/5, we've got Singing Hills #7, A LONG AND SPEAKING SILENCE! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The cover for a A Long and Speaking Silence, by Nghi Vo.

The cover features the title in elegant cursive script in pale green on a black background. Below, there is a symmetrical design featuring two whales. Above is a ship cradled by enormous hands. On the ship, very tiny, are a goat and a chicken.

Why is it so common for actual medical offices to call me then say they can't tell me why they called me until I verify personal information? They have to realize that reads like a scam call.

Two months ago a mass shooting left four dead and fifteen wounded here in Austin as a direct result of the war in Iran. Most of you never even heard about it. Last night a man rushed security a floor away from a room full of journalists hobnobbing with fascists. ENDLESS coverage. Fuck ALL of this.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Let's be absolutely clear. Whether Donald Trump is currently suffering from cognitive decline, a loss of mental capacity, dementia or any other mental or physical disorder, he was NEVER, at any point, fit to be president of the United States.

Why is anyone okay with the way this guy talks? Someone explain it to me. It feels so weird for the progressive block to be doing the tone policing. Decorum is usually a tool of the status quo. Except now "sane, kind society trying to get better at those two things" is the SQ we want to preserve.

My agent for my first book, who's not my agent now, picked me from the slush pile after I'd queried for years to find one. My second book, no agent for & is with a tiny press. I have no fairy tale story of discovery as a writer. I got on bluesky & never stopped gabbing & used it to promote my work.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
