Has anyone been following the meat cube saga from our last few episodes? We've now escalated to created fantasy microwaves for them (or @nirele.bsky.social has). How well do you think that will work? youtube.com/shorts/HNeQa...

One of the greatest gifts of being a writer is the chance to know other writers.
From beta reading stories to chaotic craft conversations... don't ever let anyone tell you that writing is a solitary act.

One of my favorite things about being one of the @writingexcuses.bsky.social podcast hosts is that my co-hosts are willing to go along with so many of my shenanigans, like the time I somehow invented a completely new POV. (If you can figure out how it works, let me know!)

I will admit that the fact I’ve just read “A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine might have colored my watching of Rebel Moon.
After seeing a space empire done SO well my brain kept making comparisons and Rebel Moon came up woefully short.
