Twelve years ago today, I saw the first proofs of Ecko Rising. I was in my forties. I'd given up writing ten years before, figuring I was too old, and that I had to 'settle down'. As of this morning: these are the books with my name on them. Dream on. You're never too old, or too sensible 😁

I finally watched Wakanda Forever. It's beautiful.

If you need to reach me, I'll be in my cave on the moon.

I keep remembering that the official Republican solution to gun violence is just... more gun violence. "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" means the plan -- the only plan -- is that AFTER the shooting starts, there's more shooting. Prevention isn't even considered.

a thing i need to work on is actually talking to people i like and want to foster relationships with instead of just thinking really positively of them often and not saying anything

turns out my state is having a contest on "I Voted" sticker designs, and I would like to show you the most metal one by a middle schooler:

Being overly self critical during Target Circle Week? I don't think so!

This photo is pure 2024.

It's always awful having strangers in your space when you're a hoarder– I mean artist– and it just... feels bad. But hopefully good will come out of it. Hopefully.

Nature does not abhor a vacuum. 99.9999999999999999999958% of the Universe is empty. The rest is old boots and stars and tea stains and you. But atoms are also 99.9999999996% empty. Everything is mostly nothing really. Looking at it that way, it’s easy to justify eating an entire tub of ice cream.

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

i cannot stress how relieving it is to see the president of a major creative tech company like nintendo voice concerns about generative ai and say they’re not interested www.tweaktown.com/news/99109/n...

Nintendo won't use generative AI in its first-party gameswww.tweaktown.com Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has revealed that the company currently has no plans to use generative AI in its games due to IP rights concerns.

hi, are you doomscrolling? That's a reasonable reaction based on everything going on right now. You still need adequate time to rest and recover. Make an effort to get enough sleep, limit screen time before bed, and charge your phone away from your bedroom.

Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor: “Look for the helpers” was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. We’re grown ups now. We’re supposed to be the helpers.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

Just going to reiterate that it was a travesty that we didn’t get a 4th and final season of GLOW.

I thought I heard thunder so I went to look out the window and was surprised to see fireflies twinkling. It's not raining, there's thunder and lightning and fireflies. Nature is so healing.

Just learned the Spanish version of "righty tighty, lefty loosey" translates as "the right oppresses, the left liberates" and holy shit that goes hard.
