I'm excited about R.A. Williamson's work because I want the variety of weird west, military fantasy, scifi, literary, horror short stories, and non-fiction essays. He moved into #YASciFi for his daughters. You can read Junk Rat as a #freebook #booksky www.ryanwilliamson.com/new-release-...

Wrote a 4 star GoodReads review for a #freebook #YASciFi novella: www.goodreads.com/book/show/25... Wulan is double crossed on a heist and out of good options. Who can she trust and what will it cost her to keep going as the sole survivor? #booksky www.ryanwilliamson.com/new-release-...

Every now and then, I want to share something with a friend who has died. I write them a DM anyway, because I still think they'd enjoy what I have to share. You're only really gone when people forget about you.

A kind of tv show they don’t make anymore is “Guy Comes to Town, Then Leaves.” Kung Fu, Incredible Hulk, Highway to Heaven, things of that nature. We need more Poker Face, that’s all we have left.

My morning routine includes watching the show I know you don't like. You are not supposed to be up at this time of day. Yes, I am annoyed that you interrupted my listening-to-the-show-while-scrolling-social-media time with your entirely predictable comment hating on my show. No, I'm not sorry.

I think we should all start blogs again. Or online journals, even. That was a nice time. Just writing a few paragraphs about your day (don't forget to list the sad song you're listening to!) and maybe your friends will leave a comment. Then you go and read theirs and comment. It was fun.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: scene from the movie Aliens; Ripley is in a mech suit and delivers her iconic line: “get away from her, you bitch!” Panel 2: the xenomorph queen lunges at Ripley in the robotic suit and they engage in a fight. Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”

I did some research to try and figure out when my death date would be if there had been no treatment for my cancer. I don't know why I assumed it would be some date in the future, but, in fact, I passed the middle of the "no treatment survival" bell curve more than a year ago. Thanks chemo.

Think you're posting about your books too much? First of all, no you're not. The most insanely online people (talking about myself here) don't see nearly enough book promo. Secondly, if someone is annoyed by it they're just a scold who wouldn't buy your book anyway. Carry on, you're good.

I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...
Yet never has so much been seen, so precisely, by so many people who understand so little of what they are seeing. A system can tell you where a man is. It cannot tell you what his death will mean for a nation. Such systems are trained on behavior, not on meaning — they can track what an adversary does but not what he fears, honors, remembers or would die for.
