Pretty good writer. Reasonably competent HusbandParentMusician. Passable teacher. Old, stubborn, and grumpy. Forever fighting book bans, ignorance, and cruelty. He/Him.

Electric Kingdom by David Arnold was full of multidimensional characters (the first generation whose only world was this fly-pocalypse), kids fighting past isolation to build community, a unique take on time travel, and a story that never went where I thought it would. Great for grades 8-up.

Such a great writer. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead was such an early example for me of what comedy could be.

A reminder, too, that he ran on this. It wasn’t a secret. They had “mass deportation now” signs everywhere.
That voice telling you not to lift a finger to stop them? That wasn’t your conscience.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

I am not a very good trumpet player, but I've been making music with it for the past five years (after a 25 year hiatus), and nothing brings me more peace than the noise from that trumpet.

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

I got an abnormally large advance ($100k) for my debut duology I sold two years ago. Minus taxes and my agent’s cut, I've seen roughly 50% of that (last chunk is paid out when I submit the complete (edited, not just drafted) second book. First book isn't out until next spring.

As an 8th grade teacher, this is the first year in a decade that I haven't had any openly trans students in my classes. It's sad that these kids who were feeling they could more safely be themselves, now have to hide themselves away.
This has been one of the hardest years to be transgender in nearly a century. Today we remember all the sisters and brothers we've lost to the surging tide of hate, and redouble our resolve to support and defend one another at a time when few others will. Hold out. We'll see the other side together.

Watched The Beast In Me, and mostly liked it. Just wondering why so many shows have like some big flashback episode right before the finale, especially one that no one needs, and the narrative doesn’t need either.

When I think of AI I think of Prince being asked about holograms of dead celebrities:
