I write luminous science fiction and fantasy. When not writing, I watch birds, admire lichens, and play the accordion. In my writing I like to explore the boundaries of time, monsters and myth, and the concept of cats.

Really really loved Marie Vibbert's "At the Library of Teeth" in @nightshadesmag.bsky.social. Incredible story about leaving childhood and the voids left behind.
Basically every sentence made me stop and savor it.

At the Library of Teeth
by Marie Vibbert
At the library of teeth, you will find a truth you had forgotten. Begin in the comfortable colors of the children’s room. Comb through bicuspids like lentils and molars like castings...

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...
Heavy rainfall floods the camps of displaced Palestinians in Gaza | CNN
Displaced Palestinians in Gaza woke up Friday morning to inches of water flooding their tents, after heavy rainfall overnight left their shelters and belongings soaked with no way to dry them out.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.
Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Working from home today (a rare treat) and heard Sandhill Cranes outside my window. Rushed to look and sure enough a flock of them was circling above the park next door (a rare treat).
Incredible!!
Imagine the birds I could see if I worked from home every day. Pitching this to my boss right now.
