Lily Wachowski is so cool. Most celebrities use high profile interviews to be like "it was such a pleasure to work with so and so on such and such" and she's like "JK Rowling funds trans genocide and Elon Musk is a fascist misrepresenting my work to destroy the planet" Let her make more movies.

Well, this ended up more of an experiment with media than anything else, but to be fair, that was what I intended when I started. I don't know how I feel about the finished result as a whole, but I like a lot of the textures, and I learned a little more about what works for me and what doesn't.

Finally! This anthology has been a long time in the making, but it is now available wherever you buy books! My horror-ecopunk story, Cardinal Theorem of Somnambulistic Interpolation, included this collection of Nordic weird fiction, is inspired by real events in Kiruna, Sweden. #booksky #amreading

The cover of the anthology Nordic - a collection of Nordicweird fiction published by Sentinel Creatives. The cover is a pinkish-purple and features two ravens in the foreground with foliage, a distorted, overgrown cityscape in the middle-ground and a troll's face with a wolf and serpent in the sky above between clouds of flame.

Incredible. Hao notes that "artificial intelligence" is a marketing term -- in 1956 one of its originators first suggested "automata studies," which apparently wasn't sexy enough. But it's more accurate! Let's respect its heritage and replace "A.i." with "automata science studies," or "ASS."

In King's Quest III you got a magical map that only revealed where you'd been. It was a clever bit of gameplay, but i love this idea for fantasy novels, too: only include the maps in the possession of the main character as they purchase them, or as they grow to know an area better.

What was it that Granny Weatherwax had said once? "Evil starts when you begin to treat people as things". And right now it would happen if you thought there was a thing called a father, and a thing called a mother, and a thing called a daughter, and a thing called a cottage, and told yourself that if you put them all together you had a thing called a happy family.
