I can't keep it in any longer: The Butterfly Koi is coming out on paperback on October 6!
And, because it's the logical thing to do with an author copy, I took this out on a walk. Look at how it prances and dances in the fall air.

You can tell that Taylor Swift released an album by all of the work happening in the rage-bait engagement farming mines across social media.

“AI wins not when it becomes more human, but when humans become more like AI: disengaged and devoid of original thought.”

What it sounds like when some tech dude tries to convince me that ethics aside, I’d love AI if if I just tried it:
So, I broke into this old lady’s house and stole her tv. If you just try it out you’ll see how high def it is

Hi, welcome! If you’re curious who I am, I write angry speculative fiction about fighting to do good in the midst of capitalism twisting those intentions (free novel linked in bio) and sometimes make angry comics. I’d really rather there be less inspiration these days.
