And I'm live on the Twitch thing! Tonight is a Geek Chat Hour + Gaming w/ Friends night. Let's make chat lively! No promises of good gameplay, but there will be giggles! www.twitch.tv/alphabetstre...

Friendly evening reminder before I start streaming: Books. Comics. And more. I'm downsizing for a move. Buy you some things and be joyful.

A tiny reminder that I'm selling off a lot of books (and comics, graphic novels, dvds, magazines, and other things). Moving + family growth = $/space! If you're looking for some new reads, take a look at my massive spreadsheet and, y'know, get some #books :P Share away! tiny.cc/dukebooksale

Request: Could we please stop expecting everyone to have a take on every bad thing that is happening? I'm one person. I cannot keep in my head a well-reasoned response to everything happening in every corner of the globe, let alone every corner of the communities I'm in.

A thing I've learned from doing a lot of watching political posters on socials these days is that some of them have forgotten how to talk to regular people or, worse, don't realize how offputting and insulting they are and, thus, are shooting themselves in the foot. We need hope, not misery.

And if you just want a box with some surprises in it, I legit enjoy doing that :D.

This is the final days of Hugo voting. I would be honored if you voted for me for Best Fan Writer. Not because of what happened in Chengdu, but because I think my oeuvre & output make me worthy. I also think our team's work at @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social is worthy. www.patreon.com/posts/2024-h...

Since we are talking book piracy again, I will restate my view of digital piracy in general: The average consumer weighs cost, convenience, and quality of experience. They will typically sacrifice on one of those, might put up with sacrifices on two, but will return to piracy if all three.

If you are going to pirate books, nobody can really stop you. We all know this. But don’t tell an author that it’s okay to pirate books because you don’t think they’ll be able to earn an income after that, and that’s good, it ends capitalism.

In other news: @skiffyandfanty.bsky.social Patreon supporters will get to hear @princejvstin.com and I babble about SFF things on tonight's Speculative Dispatch show! Wee!

A tiny little reminder about my book (and other things) sale. Reducing the collection. Selling 1300+ books, 1800ish comics, some graphic novels, mags, and more. And I've shipped over 200 books thus far! :D Lots of scifi and fantasy. Help me move. Help you with... #books ??? tiny.cc/dukebooksale

When the Uncanny Magazine Year 11: This One Goes to ELEVEN! Kickstarter reaches 700 Backers, we will publish an exclusive mini-interview with solicited essayist Kelly Sue DeConnick! @kellysue.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/lyn...

Alrighty. Let's get this from 261 to 300, shall we? Go find you some books. I'll send them to your house (or I might be able to meet you somewhere in MN state)! Wee!

Good morning. I must know: What are you reading or watching? Tell me and I will grant @princejvstin.com 3 wishes he can spend on photography things.

5 more are going to new homes. That's 261, I think! Yay!

This week, someone gave me $150 and an order to fill a box of books for them to try out cause they wanted to read more genre. And so I did. 30+ lbs of books. Lots and lots of stuff for them to test out. It was fun digging through my book sale stacks to find things I thought they might like!

To even out the stress I'm going through at the moment, here's a bit of happy news: Officially, my family will be together at last. It's been a long road through immigration, but we're at the end. Just a few weeks until we get to annoy each other on a daily basis! :D

Today is a good day to buy books. This may be the most stressful move I've ever made cause I'll have TWO monthly payments *screams*
