A skeleton is also a dead body to some people (*side-eyes my father-in-law*).

Casey Lawrence @myexplodingpen.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

I have asked a room of five people and we all agree that a corpse should have flesh. We disagree (2 vs 3) that a dead body needs flesh, so that’s just me.

Casey Lawrence @myexplodingpen.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

I would assume that a corpse includes at least some flesh! I feel the same about “dead body” though. Remains can be partial but if it’s a corpse/dead body, to me that implies that most of the original biomass is present.

Whoever is doing BWQ’s socials right now has seriously dropped the ball…

Casey Lawrence @myexplodingpen.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Um please delete this? You’ve used a messed up version of my bio that makes it sound like I spent five years pursuing a husband instead of getting a doctorate, and also it is really kind of inappropriate to share excerpts from this poem like that?

$4B didn't get shot into space, though? It created jobs here on earth; paid scientists, engineers, material specialists, designers, technicians, construction workers, data analysts, interns, janitors. Science is always worth the investment, because investing in knowledge also invests in *people*.

It was amazing to be in such fantastic company! Really proud of my story, the editors, and the final anthology (which is A+ all through).

Casey Lawrence @myexplodingpen.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Spent the morning copying my CV into yet another janky web portal for a job I probably won't get an interview for. At least this one was up front that AI is used in the screening process so when I don't get it I can be all high and mighty about AI being a bad tool for hiring.

Oh, haha, no, I meant the baby. There’s a lot of women insisting that Francesca has to have a baby to be happy, when the author didn’t intend for that to be her story and only added it, later. It’s thinly-veiled homophobia (or lesbophobia, really; the same women *love* Heated Rivalry…).

Casey Lawrence @myexplodingpen.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Noo not “pee”! How dare you, sir! 😂

Casey Lawrence @myexplodingpen.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

What?! I’ve read TONS of fantastic sci-fi in written in the first person. That’s bizarre.

Casey Lawrence @myexplodingpen.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Absolutely insane take. PS I bet there’s overlap with the “book purists” pissed that Francesca’s season of Bridgerton can’t end with her having a baby because they gender-swapped her love interest (which only happens in an epilogue that was added *after the book came out* to appease angry fans!).

Oh absolutely! And in full-time university, to boot. I have no idea how I did it. I have far fewer spoons now and I’m doing a fraction of the work.

Free alternative idea for those who don't have a book budget at the moment: I shall be doing my part by borrowing bell hooks' Communion from the library and posting a review on June 16.

#SpoonieAuthChat Far back as I can remember, I knew I wanted to be a writer. I think I've been bragging about how good an author I was going to be since Kindergarten. Didn't think I'd publish my first novel at 19, though! (Kindergarten me was sure it would be earlier!!)

Casey Lawrence @myexplodingpen.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

I read a lot of books. Sometimes I review books I liked a lot. These two were highlights of the first quarter of 2026. Very similar covers, but represent two parallel threads of feminism: the hard work of nurturing new systems & the fight to dismantle broken ones. medium.com/reviewsday-t...

I like the red but my husband likes the gold. I enjoy the Canadiana of it but from a design pov, the gold stands out more. I’d almost pair the red leaf with a different colour of tassel. But both are lovely!!

When I went to the DR last year I was advised to bring small denominations of USD for tipping; you might want to check if that's the norm, or if you should get local cash at the airport when you land.
