Current-borne, wave-flung, tugged hugely by the whole might of ocean, the jellyfish drifts in the tidal abyss. The light shines through it, and the dark enters it.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Just have to say that this was an excellent listen and is so worth it for anyone interested in epic SFF

This is like in Peter Pan where the audience tries to revive Tinkerbell with applause. Except, you know, the opposite.

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

Alright, share your terrible writing tips that actually work.

Mine is: stop for the day in the middle of a paragraph, a sentence, even in the middle of a word. It feels SO wrong but it makes it 1000x easier to pick up the thread the next day.

We simply made fun of the guy learning wonderwall to get laid too much.

I don't really have a complete thought around this, but the slow shift of wizard from a wise person who largely offers advice to a quirky guy who casts fireball once a day somehow just seems lesser

Meet Koyu, our light-morph Harlan’s Red-tailed Hawk ambassador! Harlan’s Hawks are already one of the rarer morphs of Red-tailed Hawk, but Koyu is even more unique with her pale plumage. #FunFactFriday #Morphs #DidYouKnow

Anyone have good podcast/newsletter recs about the publishing industry?

I love Print Run and publishing rodeo, but am really missing the latter these days.

i am always blown away by just how far ahead of its time DS9 was. really some of the most remarkable feats of writing in TV history. and the kind of show that could only have worked with 30+ episode seasons

Ah yes, the best candidate: a rizzless vampire
Alert BlueSky! There has been a massive troll attack spreading anti-Gavin Newsom propaganda and lies since yesterday. Swarms likely coming from a troll farm somewhere are already spreading information to try to weaken so far, one of the best candidates for 2028. 7-16

Maybe it was the whole primitive, hateful idea of the feminine as dark, blind, weak, and evil that I saw shaking itself to pieces, imploding, crumbling into wreckage on a desert ground. And I rejoiced to see it fall. I still do.

Started Empire of the Vampire because it had no wait at my library and wow this book absolutely rips.

If you're not writing your long book what are you even doing. It's the summer of writing your long book, not the summer of experiencing happiness
I'm going to tell you exactly how to write a book. Do you see that impenetrable brick wall ahead of you? You're going to ram your head into it until long book is long.

Hey #booksky 📚💙

Trying to read a poem a day and this old Robert Frost collection is wearing thin.

Any favorite poems, poets, or collections?

Really impossible to overstate how completely this guy has failed at every aspect of being an opposition leader over the past six months. Jeffries is a truly inspiring example for every soulless careerist who would rather be king of nothing than stand for anything decent in the world.
Hakeem Jeffries on Mamdani: "'Globalizing the intifada' by way of example is not an acceptable phrasing. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward."
