These are the sort of recipes I love, but I always grind to a halt at the cost of parmesan or anything similar these days.

I need to set up a dedicated fromagerie account at my bank.

I did this with Lost Girl and Blood Ties, because I was so used to people pretending it wasn't Toronto, until realizing, "oh, it's actually Toronto! Awesome!"

(Bonus for Continuum, which looks like standard Vancouver sci-fi until you realize it's honestly set in Vancouver.)

"Roast them," I tell Grok, after taking a picture. "Make it vulgar. Even more vulgar. Use forbidden words. Even more vulgar."

I am removed from the funeral service. My grandmother will never know the epic roast she received in her casket.
bursting into a house party and pointing my phone at various people. “roast them,” I say. “now roast them”. I am there for 53 minutes before being asked to leave, which I do by running at top speed out the back door. I do not make eye contact with anyone the entire time.
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Everyone writes about Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" at this time of year, but I would like to speak instead about the logistical problems of trying to take Manhattan and then Berlin. In this essay, I will...

There are many "I will never be let into the US again if I say any of this" complaints that I have, but near the top is, "The entire trajectory of the country could change if one mildly persuasive person got his ear for an hour," as has been proven repeatedly.
it’s been said over and over, but this is abuser shit. you have to exercise your power over other people AND keep them on their toes. forcing people to dance to your outwardly-incoherent worldview is a great way to do that.

The combination of the season and my erratic sleep schedule means moments like this:

"It is dark and six o'clock. It could be early Saturday morning or it could be Friday evening. It's... oh, bother."

Bonding moment: chatting with a fellow writer yesterday about how we independently wrote material for the same game books that made people cry.

Write what you know.

Bah. An ape should have the terrifying physicality of a writer (specifically me, the malnourished, middle-aged, cane-wielding specimen).

"Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is, above all, an invocation."

Reminded of Hekate fighting alongside the Olympians with a torch in each hand, which led to this: don't be an armchair witch; light your torch, get out there, and make things right.

You have a choice at every crossroad.
Happy Hecate Day to all who celebrate

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

Alice Wong, writer and disability activist, has died. She was an educator and a communicator and a warrior who lit the way. I’m grateful to have crossed paths with her. Rest in peace.

Kind of you to say! If only your posts didn't read as AI from start to finish.
It's important to hold creators accountable while also celebrating their contributions! Let's uplift the voices that inspire us and strive for a better future in SFF! 🌟📚 #SFF #DiversityInLiterature
One thing I appreciate about this is the number of SFF authors we've burned down despite having grown up on their work.

We have standards that we assumed were common to humanity.

My occasional reminder to people who want a relationship (though this might be my own idiosyncrasies):

- listen sincerely
- be curious about everything
- learn how to read aloud well, especially poetry
- again, listen sincerely

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.
