Damn good indeed.
To add to John's point, there are a lot of writers who--due to the differing social pressures on different gender, sex, or racial presentations, or other such factors--cannot give that dead blank expression lest they be negatively labeled. Their lack does not mean they welcome such commentary.
No never mind, that was for a Toby book, Discount Armageddon was when she’d just turned 1, which is why it tracks for this to be #15. And also, I would like to lodge a protest with the passage of linear time, except that I do enjoy having all these books. (And have a pretty awesome teen too, tbh.)
15? It can’t have been that long… oh wait, Joshua just turned 15, so yeah, I guess it has. I’d forgotten that the first of your release events we brought her to as an external being was the one for Discount Armageddon.
Bookday! It's my bookday!
Out today is BUTTERFLY EFFECTS, the fifteenth (15! How did that happen?) adventure in the InCryptid series, and the third book narrated by Sarah Zellaby. Sarah's adopted, which is relevant only because she's not human. She's still family. Biology is irrelevant.
On my way to @brick-mortar.bsky.social to sign pre-orders of BUTTERFLY EFFECTS! Get yours in now if you want one.
Like, now-now. I will sign your book.
‘There is no difference between the parties’ is frankly one of the more blinkering articles of faith a lot of people hold. If you believed it, you couldn’t really believe Trump was gonna do what he was obviously gonna do
AI enthusiasts should really grapple with the fact that their fellow Americans would probably be a lot less mean to them on the Internet if our country actually had a semi-functional social safety net.
This is really clever!
it is REAL weird isn't it
horrible thought of the day: our tech overlords asking the chatbot for advice is probably an improvement on asking the reactionary group chat for advice
we are weeks away from 'Trump attempts to make horse a Senator' and the only thing stopping him is that he is too much of a sociopath to form an attachment to animals
Why pay money for ARCs, which are explicitly marked not for sale, when you could win one, AND get stickers? seananmcguire.com/blog/2026/03...
It is terrible and they only ever talk about it with regards to Democrats. The Republican will be like "let's murder children" and they'll be like "A BOLD STANCE" and then a Democrat takes a mainstream concept like "abolish ICE" and they're like "sorry, you can't be electable with that!"
'scuse me as I spend a few more minutes screaming "NONE OF THIS WAS NECESSARY AND ALL OF THIS WAS AVOIDABLE" into the void.
chat is it good when the oil lines go vertical
chat come back here
chat stop screaming
The next Night, Maus, and Diary of Anne Frank are all gonna come from Donald Trump's ICE concentration camps.
And MAGA is perfectly okay with that.
yes I think cargo cult authoritarianism is another amazingly lucid way to describe the Trump administration’s whole deal
I mean this is the bottom line: there really isn’t a good way to meaningfully ban children from accessing social media without requiring all users to use real, government ID on all social networks
Hailey is so awesome. Please help out a brilliant Brazilian translator and sci-fi writer who just needs a little bit more $$ to care for her sick mum.
1. In an incredible public outpouring of support, trans girl scouts on our girl scout cookie list have sold over 330,000 boxes of cookies.
Parents report to us that they are in tears from the support.

Thank you to EVERYONE who helped supply the Whistle Crew with filament via our team-up with @protopasta.bsky.social! This is just ONE of several deliveries they made to larger cities all over the country.
Every time folks gave $20, they gave us WAY more than $20 worth of filament! 💓
Yeah man it’s absolutely crazy that when republicans control the chamber, and every republican votes for something, it passes even if all the democrats vote no.
It’s almost like it would be better if the democrats were in charge.
I cannot emphasize it enough:
The Trump administration is making trans kids suicidal.
And that is the administration's goal.
Trans lives are not a "wedge issue".
Healthcare denied to trans kids and still offered to cis based on assignment at birth is cruelty.
it doesn’t take a whole lot to recognize that this is a vote that’s going to be hung around your neck for the rest of your careers
you can just not do it, it’s pretty easy actually
Almost without exception, the ONLY kids who are in any sense of the phrase “wrongfully transitioned” are intersex kids on whom doctors perform NONCONSENSUAL SEX ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURES when they are INFANTS and these disgusting ghouls want to keep doing those!
A dear friend's cat is dealing with anemia and needs blood transfusions, and I am so worried for her, but wanted to pause and remind folks that cats and dogs can be blood donors. If you have a healthy animal between 1-6 years of age, look for a program near you. Save some lives.
the thing that the Democratic base cannot abide above all else right now is Handing It To Them
and being anti-trans is, in fact, Handing It To Them
don't do that, it's bad morals and bad politics
I’m just a safety-conscious hobbyist, and the phrase “Vibe Machining” sends chills down my spine.
imagine even thinking about using ai when a living breathing master of the craft is putting his knowledge on youtube for free
