I do science and love music and write things.

Fiction coming out occasionally, and essays coming out semi-regularly in Asimov’s and Analog.

Why my dad thought this was a kids movie is beyond me, but here’s nurse Ratched with a frog in her mouth, enjoy!

There’s been a movie I saw as a kid that I’ve struggled to remember, and I could recall “band aids on necks” and “a bunch of frogs.”

TONIGHT I FINALLY FOUND THE MOVIE

Mom to Dad: why is she reading that?
Dad to Mom: leave her alone, she likes it
Me: reading happiness intensifies

I also still will never get over my name appearing on a magazine cover. This issue also includes another Science Fact article from me - first in a series going through the latest research on the origins of life on Earth and fiction that explores aspects of that.

My band has our final show ever coming up in a few weeks. We’ve been a band for 14 years and would have happily gone on for 14 more.

Gonna miss playing the gothiest banjo that ever gothed with my weirdos

It’s that’s magical time of the year when me and this lovely beast get to spend some quality time with my to-shred pile

The nostalgia music binge continues today

I remember I was so excited when I got that X-Files soundtrack. It came out around the end of the second season I think, and it promised revelations in a hidden track at the end of the disc, and needless to say it was not so mind blowing. But the compilation itself remains an absolute banger.

I can kind of see it at this angle. I think we both have bigger chins and a similar profile in the lower face, but that’s about it

Partial lunar eclipse tonight! Please disregard the sky the color of a television tuned to a dead channel

Guess whose name made the cover of the latest @analogsf.bsky.social?

Stoked to have a Science Fact essay on Neanderthal science and fiction in this issue!

Just finished up playing Alan Wake 2, and I can’t think of any game that pandered to so much of what I love in stories. S tier gaming experience.

Good start to 42. No epiphanies of cosmic significance yet.

Recently discovered Crab Champions and it is a complete delight!

Oh, to be a dog. Here’s to never have heartburn or taxes: a salute to the best of all extant dogloafs (currently loading by my side) while I work on short story edits today.

I’ve been feeling like life has been a bit too suspiciously good lately, so after years of putting it off, I’ve officially started working on a novel.

Meanwhile, enjoy this very good dog we met in Mexico this past weekend

Since I’m writing about ancient DNA today, I decided to listen to some records from my own ancient musical history

I’ve got one deadline after another until November, and so many non-research books I’m looking forward to reading that I fully expect to turn into a sensate lump with eyes through the end of the year.

Soon, my pretties -

Prize for most unexpected thing I’ve come across in the latest essay research goes to these two Wikipedia clarification links

I’ve got an essay in this issue! “Aliens, Outsiders, and Things” covers how aliens have been portrayed in science fiction over time through the discussion of three different versions of the same story.
