Seeing talk of various award lists has reminded me to ask: if anyone here is a member of the Mythopoeic Society & would like a copy of House of Dusk to read (& consider nominating for the 2026 Mythopoeic Award for adult novel) please reach out! I would love to get you a copy!

Awful and important. This stuff isn't only happening in America - and it's terrible in both countries.
The Government says these reforms are “for councils”, but councils themselves are warning they will cause real harm.

Southwark Council’s leader has said the Government’s new asylum plans are “deeply concerning” — increasing homelessness, traumatising children, and separating families.

The house-move continues to be A Lot, but one of my very favorite prints (by @yaoyaomavanas.bsky.social ) is hanging on the wall beside me now as a marker that this really is home now - and as a reminder of the feeling I'm aiming for in the end.

Don't let your past define you.
Let your future deeds define you, and make sure they include a lighthouse on a craggy shore, sea witches, unquiet ghosts, and ancient creatures answering your call from the lightless abyss.

Ahhh! It was so lovely to spot Wooing the Witch Queen on @libraryjournal.bsky.social 's list of the Best Books of 2025: www.libraryjournal.com/story/Editor...

(& I love that they describe "a delightful supporting cast of people and crows" because the crows are IMPORTANT!)

This was a fun & seething & so very cathartic read
Nebula nominations are open!

I'd love it if you'd consider reading "Laser Eyes Ain't Everything", which Locus called a "sharp satire" and is all my rage and desired catharsis about disability accommodations. Also superheroes. And puns.

I didn't publish a lot in 2025, but I'm proud of what I did publish. I'd especially love it if you'd consider my poem "the jacarandas are unimpressed by your show of force" (eligible for the Nebula, Hugo, and Rhysling awards). strangehorizons.com/wordpress/po...
