I want to see mountains. And find somewhere to finish [reading] my book. Writer-ish. Aspiring dog whisperer. Love dad jokes and dragons. Words in Spaceports and Spidersilk and Zooscape. He/him.

Everyone: YES! FINALLY!

Trump: -earhart files. I am going to release the Amelia Earhart files.

Everyone: NO! WHAT?!

Decided a short story I've been working on for years and has had no publication success really needs...to be at least three times as long and have several more POVs...should be fine, right?

I love it when @uncannymagazine.bsky.social opens for submission. Always feels like it's the (insert fav sports team) holding open tryouts. Am I actually gonna get picked? Better than 0 percent chance and I get to be on the field with legends for a minute!

Shallots are such little assholes. One minute they are sitting there all cute like the gentler cousin of garlic, and then you cut one up and they are like, I shall rip the tears from your eyes with the power of one-thousand onions.

Signed for a Fedex delivery and now I'm fairly certain Fedex is run by chaos goblins.
Day 1:
FDX at 8am- Item is out for delivery, expect it between 11:40 and 1:40. FDX at 10:32- Oops, we missed you, come find us.
Day 2:
7am. Your driver is Jeff. He will be there at some point by 5pm. DONT MOVE

Installed an under-sink water filter so that I can say I give my dog filtered water.

Fun new parental guilt unlocked: dropping off the toddler at preschool before the trash truck comes by.

Second ever story publication! Than you Zooscape! zooscape-zine.com/capitalist-p...
Been trying to think what the tag line would be so I came up with a few.

"Marxist-Romeo goes on an adventure in the land of the three little pigs."

"The story one toddler called 'too long.'"

My one critique of #murderbot Season 1 is that it is not long enough. And no, I don't mean the episodes should be longer. I just mean I think there should be 7,532, or better yet, 35,000, hours of it available for me to watch right now.

Please enjoy a brief respite from the moral, political, and social collapse of the United States, courtesy of the very real and inexplicably ungated walk-in storm drain next to my old junior high! Thank you @giganotosaurus.bsky.social and @tbonejenkins.bsky.social for the space to go long. 💚 🛶

Writing win of the day. The local coffee spot I go to once every two weeks to write for an hour (because...toddlers at home...) offered me a mug to drink from instead of the usual disposable cup. Strong (and cozy) #LegendsandLattes vibes. #writing

Randomly read Kaiju Agonistes by @scottlynch78.bsky.social in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social and The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley back to back, and oh what a happy accident. They go better together than beer and bratwurst: phenomenal and darkly comedic.

My youngest now always demands a book before bed. But she doesn't look at it. She just lays out down and lies right on it, like a dragon on a hoard of gold. She's my tiny little bookwyrm.

New year goals. I don't need to write best-sellers or have things optioned into films. I just want to get famous enough so that other writers send me their books early so I can read them all and then write blurbs about how magnificent they are.
