One thing that continues to make me happy... the number of people in the signing lines, often teens, who say they got into reading or got back into reading because of my novel Annihilation.

one of my core memories is watching my mom sob and scream over the phone because she kept getting denied food stamps despite having a bus driver's income and 5 kids to take care of.

So, when people claim that programs like snap are too easy to abuse it rings really hollow.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

I can't decide if I am more furious… or disgusted… or just really disappointed and disillusioned by some of the people in my industry.

"Why is this girl in poses that are censorship" has immediately entered my vocabulary, I'm sorry

Apologies for not going to any parties or large gatherings at the convention, but since the beginning of the pandemic, I have not been comfortable doing so and also cannot afford to get sick in any way this year due to intense deadlines. I also get claustrophobic in such situations now.

Excuse me @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social - what outdoor camera do you use to record animals? I have a colleague who has snapping Turtles eggs on his property that he's protecting and wants to record.

Today was a weird day where I had to tell someone that the basic phone tree wasn't AI. Just because you pressed a number corresponding to your choice and you were taken to the proper next step wasn't AI.

Engagement has really dropped off on this platform in the past few months. Maybe you are all sick of me? Or just sick of social media?

Either one is understandable.

Very weird to see writers cheering for A.I. audiobooks. This is the same horrible machine that they want to replace YOU. Audiobook narrators are your peers.
