Remember when a few years ago, I had the #NervDrinksTea tag on the tweety site?
Well, I got a tea advent calendar again... Let's go! 🤩✨️

Just 2k more to go, people. And this project has been fighting for 8 months. I have seen projects funded overnight - but THIS should be funded now. Translations. Black/African stories. In a world fraught with hate, we mend it with love.

Petition to get some extra days between the end of November and the start of December just to catch up on everything a little bit before the whole December madness.

Thanks to all the crew @trollbreathmag.bsky.social for sharing my essay on the origins of the name Hornytown. I'm not sure I even realized as I was creating my DC suburb of Hell all the reasons I chose the name or that was in part a clapback against prejudice.

I'll post the link when it's available
The cover of Trollbreath Issue 6 includes a bookstore on Owl Street and a mysterious hooded figure walking a dog.

Hallo! Van 22 tot en met 30 november is het in Vlaanderen en Brussel Voorleesweek, een initiatief van Iedereen Leest, i.s.m. Boektopia, VRT, Kind & Gezin, Boekhandels Vlaanderen en de bibliotheken. Daar sta ik natuurlijk helemaal achter en ik wilde dan ook graag iets doen om deze Voorleesweek te vieren. Zelfgeschreven gedichten voorlezen, dat leek me wel een idee. Twee of drie filmpjes, dacht ik eerst, gespreid over de week.

It's possible my new Halloween-friendly novella, Hornytown Chutzpah's making a Weird Waldo-like appearance this weekend at #WorldFantasy. Okay, it's more of a reference than an appearance, but still find the @atthisarts.com table, ask them about their catalog, and if you find it post a picture.

Planning your @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social day? I'll be reading the entirety of my story "Fake Rock" at 5 / 17:00 in Osborne.

You have not heard this story, but @minervacerridwen.bsky.social has named it best story of the year, so see what you think? 😀
