I think I'm exhausted because I'm burned out and doing too many things, but then I get bloodwork done and my doctor looks at me like ☹️ and I learn that my hemoglobin is actually in HELL and it is miracle I can do anything at all

I feel like we need to make a crash course for audiences at literary panels on how to behave and what questions are appropriate to ask. My GOD.

One time I complained about the TTC and someone told me Toronto is one of like 3 cities in Canada with a proper subway and I was like, lemme shut my ass up, lemme count my blessings

Aaron Pierre is an excellent actor but I fear I will never take him seriously and that is purely because his last name is the same as mine. No other reason

I'm in a small town (a city smaller than Toronto) for the weekend. Someone I interacted with at the farmer's market in the morning recognized me at the bar later at night. I cannot live here lmao

I run a monthly adult creative writing group and today one of the participants said she's been to other library writing groups but mine is her favorite and she travels over an hour to come here and I feel so honored 🥹❤️

Why do you write? Why do you publish? I’ve been working through my answers to these two questions this summer— & I’m curious to hear others’ ✨

I think this would be my self-insert as well lmao, I truly just want to vibe

Terese Mason Pierre @teresempierre.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Fascinating. Like an idealized version. I don't tend to assume that the author and character sharing the same demographics is an indicator of a self-insert, but the qualifier helps.

Terese Mason Pierre @teresempierre.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

The consensus seems like the character is a mouthpiece for the author. "Defense" is ringing true for me.

Fair lol, though I will say this is a very outdated trope LMAO

1. So, at the Worldcon this year there was a person who was going from panel to panel, bothering panelists by trying to get them to "collaborate" with them on a project and sliding the proposed project to them on a piece of paper. Folks, I cannot stress to you how obnoxious this sort of thing is.

I became aware of this after the event and it's a dark spot on an otherwise bright evening. The ramp up to the stage accommodated wheelchairs but the ramp backstage apparently did not. I hope future worldcons make the effort to make every part of the Hugo ceremony accessible to everyone involved.

Me, making my little fridge magnet poem: "This will heal me." 🙂‍↕️

Terese Mason Pierre @teresempierre.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Sorry. Just read this poem in Paloma Magazine. Recovery, by Lee Suksi. This poem caught me the way I catch fruit flies by clapping my hands. The first line!!!! I am agitated (reverent)!!!!!

Recovery, by Lee Suksi

Rainbows dive bomb the earth,
jasmine sticks out its tongues,
milk soaks into the soil,
but am I pregnant?

Well, somebody new is inside me,
kicking and pulsing
in old tongues, silent language
as with what the jasmine does.

I accept the creativity,
a nothing word, a nothing
breath, pushing on survival in a hoodie
of devotion. Actually, fuck devotion
when it’s by default. The trick is in
locating the groove within the heart
that wants to perpetuate.
The bravery

I accept the creativity,
a nothing word, a nothing

of devotion. Actually, fuck devotion
when it’s by default. The trick is in
locating the groove within the heart

The bravery

of making plans for other days
is giving me butterflies
from tail to crown, columns
of folded feastingness

beating my skeleton
into an equatorial space
where the ratio of sunlight to nighttime
is heavenly even.

I kept the tiny magnet words from my guest booth at WorldCon this year and put some of them on my fridge. They are surprisingly generative! Here's my short self-love spec poem LOL

A poem created with magnetic words:

myth

my future is free
I inhabit wonder across time
as if I know my shape
a hungry beam
a beautiful interstellar garden
an unstoppable creature caught with love

I asked an anthology editor if he was working on a novel, or considering writing one, and he said, "Yeah, but I'm only 36, I have lots of time." Been replaying this in my head ever since.

The bartender who carded me was an older man (my other servers/bartenders were younger), so maybe he thought I was baby. Suspicious baby?
