Hi new followers! I post sometimes about writing and SFF and neuroscience. (Other stuff I don't much put on social media.)
I follow back people who chat & interact! I recommend starting with the pet tax. Here are our two foster kitties, Trickster & Treat. (Want to adopt some vision impaired cats?)

Hello new followers! I hope you brought the coins for the ferryman. By which I mean the pet pictures for the Bluesky. Or an IOU. If you're in kitty debt this girl can offer a loan. (My house has 3 permanent & 2 fosters, but Rocket here is the loan shark)

So many new followers of late! Hello! I post about SFF and neuroscience and, uh, only medium-often.
In the words of a wiser person than I: please introduce yourselves and your cats! Here are Trogdor (orange), Rocket (calico), and Khoshekh (black)

I don't see a post yet here about it, but I want to make sure Blueskwriters don't miss the extended deadline for this year's Analog Award for Emerging Black Voices in #ScienceFiction! It's a rad award, comes with publication in @analogsf.bsky.social & a year of mentoring.
