Yoke of Stars by R.B. Lemberg. One of the most inventive and compassionate writers working today, if you ask me.

--a werewolf, as they age: "And the change no longer whipcracks through you like rogue lightning. Instead it ekes its way along your arthritic joints like a patient lockpick coddling rusty pins." How perfect is that. A patient lockpick coddling rusty pins.

You know what today needs? An aging werewolf poem. Trust us on this one and check out "Dodging the Bullet" by @cafenowhere.bsky.social : smallwondersmag.com/piece/dodgin...

Ok folks. Who is from Boston and / or is familiar with Revere Beach? What are these? I've seen some references to call boxes and I can kinda believe the thing in the lion's mouth is a speaker...

The number of people Trump says he'll deport keeps going up. It's now 20 million, 50% higher than the largest estimates of the undocumented population. It's clear sign that distinguishing legal from illegal won't be a priority. They're just going to round up people they don't want to be here.

The Fox's shadow at Midday has a life of its own 🦊🐾✨

It’s Monday, I’m on vacation, and it’s my birthday!

Also, couldn’t resist this cute tote and pin from Little Ghosts Books!

My Readercon book haul: Samatar, Lima, Tremblay, Webb, @sillysyntax.bsky.social, McSweeney, Milstein & Ruin, @megelison.bsky.social. And I got the last copy of Suzan’s book, which is signed!

It is quite noticeable that Democrats have, in less than 24 hours, expressed more sympathy for a guy who didn’t actually get killed than for the tens of thousands of Palestinians who’ve been brutally murdered over the last several months.

Roused myself from sketchy sleep to hear @rblemberg.bsky.social explain “How I Wrote The Birdverse”. @readercon.bsky.social

The speculative poetry panel went well and afterwards I convinced @gwynnega.bsky.social and @victoriajanssen.bsky.social and @josejimenez.bsky.social to play a round of Daydrinking with Lisa.

For those of you following along with @cafenowhere.bsky.social and my adventure to Boston, we have finally been reunited with our luggage. So a trip that started at 4:15 am central time yesterday we can say is over at 8:30 am Eastern today.

This is so true! And beautifully rendered.

Between the heat and brain weasels... You can haz taco. #papercraft

Arrived in Boston, finally. Alas, without our luggage. 😅

Stuck in Chicago, had to deplane twice, two different planes. 😑

I just bought a copy of Cowboy Graves and now I have cover envy.

The forthcoming Vintage Classics editions of Roberto Bolaño's books are very handsome things:

I have been working on a story about carbon capture for like three months because I keep thinking "it cannot possibly be THIS much of an absolute shit show" and figuring I must be missing something or misunderstanding something and then every new expert I talk to tells me it's even worse

I’m awake way too early because we’re flying out to @readercon.bsky.social today. A coffee failure has occurred. I think my coffee maker balked at being made to work at this hour. Me too, coffee maker, me too.
