Gotta love a "SFF reviews" account that has no actual reviews but can be active 24-7 quoting posts about science fiction & fantasy OR small form factor computers 🙃

This beer needed a spoon. In a good way.

Hi new followers! I post sometimes about writing and SFF and neuroscience. (Other stuff I don't much put on social media.)

I follow back people who chat & interact! I recommend starting with the pet tax. Here are our two foster kitties, Trickster & Treat. (Want to adopt some vision impaired cats?)

Hello new followers! I hope you brought the coins for the ferryman. By which I mean the pet pictures for the Bluesky. Or an IOU. If you're in kitty debt this girl can offer a loan. (My house has 3 permanent & 2 fosters, but Rocket here is the loan shark)

So many new followers of late! Hello! I post about SFF and neuroscience and, uh, only medium-often.

In the words of a wiser person than I: please introduce yourselves and your cats! Here are Trogdor (orange), Rocket (calico), and Khoshekh (black)

Well ok the lady in the Glasgow duty free apparently had EXACTLY what I needed, which is like what if an ocean tasted like whiskey.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn't a selfie.

I don't see a post yet here about it, but I want to make sure Blueskwriters don't miss the extended deadline for this year's Analog Award for Emerging Black Voices in #ScienceFiction! It's a rad award, comes with publication in @analogsf.bsky.social & a year of mentoring.

Hey #Worldcon #Glasgow2024 I've been pretty spacey but if you want some of my Real Neuroscience Action, come to my panel "I Sing the Body Robotic: Anatomy of Future Bodies" - if you're awake Sunday 10am!

Someone's got mayoral potential. I'm not even in his ward and I want to vote for him. #AlderKitty

Settling in for the eclipse at White Rooster Brewing, which still has the best sign in the world (and excellent beer).

Okay, I broke Ascension. This game has over 5000 points so far, and I’m confident I could make this turn last literally forever.
