Okay, folks. For reasons beyond my control, the series had to be retitled, so allow me to officially make a re-introduction to
REMNANTS, BOOK ONE: DUST.
(ASHES, book two of the REMNANTS duology, is also available. New audio versions aren't up yet, but will be soon.)

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

If a movie/game/tv show/album/TTRPG/whatever deals with mature and upsetting themes, then it doesn't mean it should be demonized for existing.
A mature piece of media's existence does not diminish the existence of media without upsetting themes.

Step back to the early days of my novels with the tales of Corvis Rebaine. The Terror of the East. A man who left his ambitions and his violence and his sins behind him, until someone worse forced him to drag it all back out into the light.

Also? Every single time--EVERY TIME--an advisor or pundit or commentator or politician says "Democrats should abandon [X], it's not a winning issue," your very first job as a voter is to look into how that person's interests are served by drawing attention away from [X].

Stop saying, "I know Newsom is transphobic and brutal to the homeless, but surely you'd still vote for him over a MAGAt!" and instead start using the literal *years* we have available to us to work on elevating candidates who don't support evil positions.

You are either on Team Release Everything (except for victim info), or you are a pedo protector.
And everyone satisfied with this obvious cover up is on Team Pedo Protector.
There is no middle ground.

You know what? To hell with being circumspect.
@sfwa.org is saying it’s perfectly fine to use the plagiarism machine *”trained” on work stolen from its dues-paying members* to qualify for a Nebula, and that it in fact encourages doing so.
This is utterly shameful.

Rights, human rights, are inalienable.
I feel like I read that someplace.
Anyone who would give away rights for one group (say my trans sisters and brothers) for the ‘good of all’ would also give away rights for others if they thought if got them something.
Not one inch.

The hotness-centric morality people use to judge characters has proved that the general audience cannot be trusted.
So for the next 15 years, only ugly characters get redemption arcs in spec fic. We'll revisit at the end of 2040 and see if you've learned anything about appearance vs. morality. 😝

I still think KNIVES OUT is the best of the three, but this one is, IMO better than GLASS ONION. (It's not as *fun*, but it's overall a better mystery and better movie.)
The casting is immaculate, but that's a pretty strong thread throughout the trilogy.

I choose to memorialize the victims, most of whose names have not been released (at least so far as I can find).
I choose to laud Ahmed al-Ahmed, the unarmed bystander who took two bullets subduing one of the shooters, who risked everything to save the lives of others.
