I’m reading #CarelessPeople by Sarah Wynn-Williams and as much as I appreciate her willingness to write about her experiences at #Facebook, it’s been such a frustrating read!

A snake eating its tail doesn't capture the stupidity of current times. What's going on now is more like a snake sticking its head up its own ass.

There's a cool new post at the SFWA blog by L. M. Bonato about decolonizing history in Brazilian SFF. It just reminded me how many wonderful SFF stories we have published here that has never seen the light of day in English.

Decolonizing History in Brazilian SFF - SFWA

I finally finished Asunder by @kerstinhall.bsky.social and can’t stop thinking about it. Such a creative magic system and world and the ending was so unexpected. I just wish the sequel was already out so I could treat my book hangover…

Aster would do anything to be the best writer the world has seen— even if it means spilling her blood to commune with the greats that came before her and potentially lose the ones she loves the most.

Contracted to a witch before birth, Talia’s life is upended on her 15th Bday when her parent’s debt comes due. But might be her pending marriage where the real danger lies. Coming of age is hard enough without demonic in-laws! #BluePit 📖 #W #YA #F

I thought I didn't want kids. My father's sudden death changed my mind.
Grieving my dad's unexpected death helped me realize I do want to have children of my own.

As much as I love HEB, I can’t stand their ‘please take a 3min survey’ emails that come after every order. There’s no option to unsubscribe (unless I’m missing something), so I created an email filter to automatically delete them. Here’s hoping it works 🤞

#writersofbluesky - what are your writing goals for January?
I’m hoping to rebuild my writing routine, so I’m aiming for 15 min/day on WIP1. I’m also planning to draft a short story I’ve been ruminating on for the past month or so.
