I mean WHY WOULD YOU USE THIS PICTURE OF YOUR COMPETITION???

In a similar vein “oh, you guys do some kind of threshold magic? Weird but cool. I myself am a secular person who has put mementoes that feel nice on my front door cus they give my apartment an aura that I am loved/valued”

(Literally you can ask me about any of these and I will have a long reason)

This actually not even the worst “overview” I’ve gotten from Google. That honor goes to this lost stanza from Disney’s Encanto that somehow features spontaneous combustion.

Are you sure you were nominated? Because Google’s Search Results AI has this fascinating take on reality:

(Important info: 1. I was nominated, but it was for Erde 0 [The Space Between Worlds] a few years back and 2. I am, in fact, not @scalzi.com)

These posts from @maryrobinettekowal.com @theradr.bsky.social feel like branches from the same tree: people thinking “activism” is dunking on others because they confuse being good with looking good. Antifascism isn’t acting like a cop in your community. Attack power, not your neighbors 💜

If you are a person who nominates for the Hugos, Those Beyond the Wall is eligible best novel and being officially nominated would make this particular dream come true:

Looking in the future to a time when my nose isn’t made of snot and I am not purely horizontal and wrapped in blankets. I will be in Chicago for Capricon 45 as a Guest of Honor!

This week I defended my dissertation & got shortlisted for the Ursula K Le Guin prize. As a totally well-adjusted/rational person, this brings a wave of anxiety as I am convinced good things lead to Icarus moments. So here I am, acting in defiance of that, by telling you all. I am happy.

Hey all! I’m going to be at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend! Here’s where you can find me:

Thanks a lot, Past Kya. Notes like this are VERY helpful for dissertation writing…

I signed pages while troopers watched. My first (and for a long time only) reading was at the Plaza, and ended when cops swarmed us to arrest a homeless woman for vandalism who drew on a wall with chalk. That book wasn’t about protest, but I began dreaming of one that was (2/3)

Yesterday was the three year anniversary of The Space Between Worlds coming out (!!!!!) I did two things:

1. Sent a new manuscript to copyedits.

2. Went to a protest.

The latter is important because everything about my 2020 book launch was wrapped in protest. (1/3)
