I started re-watching Parks & Recreation last week, and since then I've visited the store 3 times to buy labels, highlighters, binders, and other stationery. This...is totally normal, right?

I've got a new pub! My story "So You Want to Run a Temporal Coffee Shop" is in the latest issue of Worlds of Possibility.

Time travel, yes, but a cozy fantasy. Give it a read if that sounds like your thing!

Happy World Quantum Day! Now is the purrfect time to learn quantum computing.

If you're new to quantum computing and/or you like cats, I have the first three chapters of a free non-technical, beginner-friendly book called Quantum Kittens up at quantumkittens.online

Thank you for reading and for your kind words! ✨
I'm in love with @radhapyari.bsky.social's novelette, An Ode to Stardust, published at @clarkesworldmagazine.com. It's a beautiful tale about a station commander with chronic illness and her exchanges with a peculiar race of aliens.
