My story "Distant But Unmistakable" is in this wonderful antho!

every day the technology i use for work breaks more and more, and i am supposed to sit calmly in my office chair instead of screaming and running on all fours into the woods

we encounter the canon first as parody; it instills in us a reverence for a story we were born midway through

This observation has always stuck with me...

"House, Body, Bird turns up the creepy dollhouse dial to 11, and then goes to some unexpected places. I read it during a house repair and I haven’t quite recovered yet. Truly a fabulous debut title! Thoughtful, engaging, both cheerfully gory and cheerfully queer—this novella gives us a glimpse into the future of horror, and I’m here for it." -Bogi Takács, Hugo and Lambda award winning author, editor, and critic

"cheerfully gory and cheerfully queer" is one of my favorite comments that i've received on this book--thanks @bogiperson.bsky.social !

House, Body, Bird is available at psychopomp.com/product/hous... --check it out 🥩💖

Feel like we should be telling people we appreciate them more these days as a matter of mutual care.

What We Mean When We Talk About the Hole in the Bathroom - Uncanny Magazine After dinner, the woman and her husband argue about the hole in their bathroom. It’s not such a big hole. Two feet by two feet, the kind you might drop your garbage into every Thursday night and never...

I have a new story out today in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social!

“What We Mean When We Talk About The Hole In The Bathroom” is about superstition, intercultural relationships, and yes, a strange hole in the bathroom.

seeing Associated Press people say that when it comes to genai, "resistance is futile"

but that line has a very particular source (Star Trek), and the point is that resistance very much is *not* futile. the Federation successfully resisted! the Borg have been destroyed!

i was watching a Horizons episode from PBS where a couple panelists had a similar perspective, and i felt so confused--like, when did we decide to give up? why? 🙄

The cat is looking at the viewer with a large eyes and a small cheeky smile while curled up at the bottom of the full moon. The moon is a light blue that almost blends with the calm morning sky. Below it is a rainbow and beside it are some birds. The tops of treees frame the bottom of the artwork. Art by Dhiyanah Hassan.

Hey, "House, Body, Bird" by @bernie-jsyk.bsky.social is out! This is a wild little roller coaster ride of a book that you can buy and read NOW (and you should!)

💖 thank youuuu!!!

“Inheritance is never clean. We gather too much over the course of a life, too many objects imbued with too many memories, to ever pass on an uncomplicated story to our descendants.”

Y’all, I love this novel so much. Have been thinking about it ever since I finished reading it.

I'm delighted that this story is apparently working for friends who didn't get all the references, but also I wasn't trying to keep secrets, so I'll tell you: this is the Camilla that my Camilla named herself after.

The "this is fine" dog meme comic, but he's saying "so I have a book coming out".

*sigh*

Persepolis is an all time favorite of mine. I was lucky that my public library had a huge collection of graphic novels, it was how I read Maus too.

thank you!! i just read your synopsis for Palmetto Boy and it sounds so deliciously creepy!
