I had an absolute blast being a judge last year and a bunch of the films we selected are now eligible for the Hugo ballot this year! If you want to see what last year was like, I talked about it here: bsky.app/profile/aren...
Tomorrow is the deadline to submit your film to the WorldCon Film Festival! Last year was a blast and our judging team is hard at work doing it again. We love anything science fiction, fantasy, or horror — submit now! filmfreeway.com/WorldconFilm... @laworldcon.bsky.social @file770.bsky.social
If you need an idea of where to start, my piece “The Emergency Contact” (Analog, March/April) is eligible in the Short Story category! I'm also eligible for the Astounding Award for Best New Writer! 😱👾
Ant trafficking rings are new to me but, uh, I guess they're a thing www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you're nominating for the Hugo or Locus Awards, I'd love for you to consider this story of mine! I'm also eligible for the Astounding Award this year :)
Raymond Chandler's crotchetiness with publishers and film folks is breathtaking.
(from RAYMOND CHANDLER SPEAKING, collected letters, 1962).

I wrote this piece for @jstordaily.bsky.social about the painter Wayne Thiebaud, who lived to be 101, and was iconic for his paintings of American fair and diner food: daily.jstor.org/wayne-thieba...
Saw the Disney musical Hercules while in London this weekend, except I read Wearing the Lion a couple months ago and so the musical was overlaid with serious @wiswell.bsky.social vibes. (Needless to say, I enjoyed it.)
Three gumball machines filled with brightly colored candies
Admiring Thiebaud’s paintings, abstract expressionist painter Barnett Newman told him that “[t]hose European surrealists are boys compared to what you can do with a gumball machine. That’s a real surreal object in you.” daily.jstor.org/wayne-thieba...
Wayne Thiebaud (1920–2021) was fired from Disney for being a union man, went on to create topographical models of Japan in WWII, and was labelled a "Pop Artist" by critics. He outlived all the other Pop Artists, and most of his critics, and thought Warhol was 👎 daily.jstor.org/wayne-thieba...

The arch in milan with some sort of ball of light sculpture in the middle that would rhythmically open to music
A wild week at the Olympics in Milan! The figure skating was incredible, but I'm about ready to drop everything and take up speed skating now. Just...wow.

More snow! Now I just need somebody to throw this at...
Wet or drooling sea servants stare at the viewer. The page says BFS Horizons #18.
The opening sentences of The Toll Bridge by Arendse Lund "I saw him first." "But look at him -- you know he's just my type." "You hooked the last one." "That was ages ago." "Oh please," followed by a wistful sigh. "He was a good one, wasn't he?"
I just found out that British Fantasy Society published my award-winning story "The Toll Bridge" at the end of 2025, so I'm sneaking one more story in here for award consideration!
An icy expanse, with a wooden dock for the ferry, and the sun glinting off the buildings on the other side of the harbor.
Copenhagen harbour has completely frozen over! That shiny surface in the distance? That's just smooth ice 🥶

A slender wooden troll with a long beard pulls a rabbit out of a hat
And a magician troll who, by pulling a rabbit out of hat, is clearly trying to trick you into thinking he's not magical at all. Won't fool me!
A wooden cyclops stares, friendly, at you. He wants to be your friend.
Having a nice meander through Bergen's troll forest. Look at this friendly guy I met!
As museums are too embarrassed to admit their problems with mold, the problem is steadily growing, sinking its tendrils into historically safe archives www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...
Sunrise over the icy hills of Bergen
Good morning from the icy hills of Bergen, where the sun rises delightfully late, meaning I can sneak a hike in at a reasonable hour.
I think clearly the time is NOW 😂
That sounds delicious but also, that mug in the background? Phenomenal.

Yes, I am in Norway. How did you guess?
