@markhamillofficial.bsky.social @stephenking.bsky.social I finally got a chance to see the trailer for The Long Walk.

Just Mark Hamill's voice is terrifying even though you barely see him in the actual trailer. Having been truly amazed by the book, I am now fully prepared to be amazed by the film.

Just a brief, desperate plea for you to read my sci-fi horror short story, The Return of Doctor Mandible!

So I don't try to publicize my writing nearly often enough, so I must start changing that.

I have a bunch of short stories and a few poems on my profile page at Vocal.Media that I would be honored to get some more people looking at.

So Trump is replacing Mike Waltz, the idiot who added a journalist to an already illegal chat where the SecDef gleefully shared classified military details, with ANOTHER IDIOT WHO WAS IN THE SAME CHAT?

@hakeemjefferson.bsky.social I really appreciated your piece, refuting the anti-DEI hysteria running through our country. Under President Obama, we had just started scraping the surface, and now we are set back.

But not stopped. Please keep making sense in public!

This is an excellent piece. DEI is about allowing a legitimate examination of a person's merit, rather than stonewalling people of color in favor of white men. And for the record, I am a white man.
A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.

I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

What DEI threatens isn’t merit. It’s monopoly.
Political science professor Hakeem Jefferson argues for DEI's importance to de-monopolizing universities.

@hntdove.bsky.social Finally found you here after I shit-canned Twitter with prejudice.

I have to admit I am mildly surprised that the first couple months of the new administration has not caused you to physically explode. Well done.

@drspookyer.bsky.social Finally got my Amazon review done for The Fatal Mind. Should be live soon!

For the record, I got rid of Twitter because they didn't like my pronouns.

My pronouns are anti-Nazi/anti-rapist

That is all

So back in college, I created an eBook as an assignment. It has a couple of short stories, and the beginning of a longer piece. This was back in 2019ish.

Well folks, I just got a ROYALTY PAYMENT! I have officially transitioned from Writer to Author!

I only hope it doesn't go to my head...

Grr!
