I don’t have books to sell (because magazines pay me upfront) but I do love being *read*
So, here’s a thread of my short fiction, available in text/audio for free:

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

1. In a Sunday Night surprise, the trans healthcare coverage ban has been removed from the military NDAA.
Congressional leaders released the negotiated bill this evening, and though the House AND Senate contained the provision, it is not in the final bill!

Trans Healthcare Coverage Ban Stripped From Negotiated Military NDAA Bill In Sunday Night Surprise
Anti-DEI and sports ban provisions for the military still exist in the bill, but the removal of a health care provision is a major victory for transgender people in congressional legislation.

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

Gen Z are going retro, with studies showing a resurgence in people buying tech in the modern age that can be dated back decades.

It's December and people are reading for awards.
I only had one publication this year, and it's about loneliness and gender and sexual assault and girlhood and Americana and carnivorous plants.

love this thread
A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

Seriously though I have a quiet apartment with carnivorous plants and good tea, I just sold a story, I'm working on exciting [redacted] projects, my health is not bad, I have friends, I like my haircut and my wardrobe, and I'm a 90 minute drive from the coast.
That's about all teenage me wanted.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

It's not our fault the whole scene is A MESS. If you are an artist too you aren't failing. The whole industry is getting messed up right now!!
I know a lot of the times I feel like "why am I not good enough?"
We are good enough. they are trying to hire NOBODY

For those not in those circles, I just need to remind you that losing a job to AI is not a vibes based idea. We are being told explicitly by art directors that we are being weighed against AI for jobs, people on teams fighting against the AD and you. It sucks. It’s demoralizing.
