Stories don't have to begin at the beginning. When writing, begin anywhere. Maybe you already know the ending. Maybe there's a big battle that you can picture in your mind. Maybe it's a moment of romance. Get the words out, no matter where they end up in your story.

The front desk lady at the optometrist whispered to me that her boss hates her hot dog bird, so I filled out a comment card saying it was my favorite thing about the place

So I was sitting here with my dog and looked down at my bookshelf and realized that I hadn't seen @scalzi.com ranting about how awesome his wife lady is in several weeks.

What the hell John. This used to be a regular thing.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Today marks five months since the release of THE INCANDESCENT. As we swing into the grimmest bit of the school year, spare a thought for the teachers you know, for whom a demon infestation would make very little noticeable difference to the dark tunnel that is the back half of the autumn term.
emilytesh.net Emily Tesh @emilytesh.net · May 13
THE INCANDESCENT is a book about money and education and status symbols, about loving your career, about demons, about magic, about fantasy school - but most of all about how 'school' is always a kind of fantasy. Available now!

UK: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/unti...
THE INCANDESCENT by Emily Tesh, in US (black) and UK (pink) hardcover editions.

Apple caved to the Trump DOJ and removed the anti-ICE apps from its App Store. Cowardice.
The image is an X post by The Bulwark (@BulwarkO ) from 10 hours ago, stating: "I think in a free country we should be able to post onto the internet, 'hey, there are masked agents on Broadway and Vine and not have the government or the tech oligarchs prevent us from doing that.' Shame on you, Tim Cook." The post includes a verified badge and a ship logo.

It's Banned Books Week! (In the US). I was just talking about bans and challenges. I posted another pride flag on my Instagram. I should be posting banned books too. Like ACOTAR and Throne of Glass. Like The Handmaid's Tale. Wicked. The Color Purple #bannedbooks #ireadbannedbooks #freedomtoread

Today’s the first day of Banned Books Week! Take a look at the thread and see if there’s something you can do to protect our freedom to read!

Banned Books Week starts on Sunday, October 5—there are a ton of ways to support!

Find ways to get involved here: www.ala.org/bbooks/banne...

(If you're overwhelmed, even just checking out, buying, or elevating a banned book is helpful! Talking about them w/ the ppl in your life is an action!)

Also, here is a thought: I wonder how much "not feeling like an adult" is correlated with impostor syndrome.

It's not a binary state, and with that said: There are people who never feel like an adult, and there are people who have always felt like they had to be the adult. Neither is better than the other, nor is one always a more successful adult than the other, but you can often tell who is whom.

Was talking to a 50-something friend who said they were telling a 20-something that big secret of adults is that no one feels they're an adult.

I know this is a common saying, but I don't vibe w/it at all. Certainly not for last 10 or 15 years.

I feel very much like an exhausted, weary adult.

I opened up the internet to see what’s going on in the world, since I spent most of yesterday focused on baseball. Based on my findings, it’s back to sports, with some reading and writing on the side.
