Same here.

I spent my life sailing away from the shore, letting maps fade and compasses lose their north. You have to get lost to find yourself, they say. I haven’t found myself yet, but I keep looking.

The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists

Repeat after me. Short fiction is not dead. Text circling the head of chicken with swirly-hypno eyes.

Breaking out hypnochicken after today's magazine news leak and the various worst-case scenarios filling the gaps that likely would have been covered in an official press release.

Hi 👋

If you're new here, I have a fairytalesque novella with Tordotcom called BUT NOT TOO BOLD about a monstrous spider woman with a taste for human brides 🕷🗝

You can find it in your favorite online bookshop, or order on the link below:

"Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape? The money lenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can."

Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

It works for writers too.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

For Brad Pitt, the greatest rock band of all time is Soundgarden. Agreed, Mr. Pitt.

My book "Um Milhão de Mim", a science fiction novel published by Editora Draco, won the Odisseia award yesterday. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read it, and thanks to the Odisseia team.

My timeline here is full of writers talking about stories, musicians, illustrators, such a beautiful thing to see. So different from the fascist agora that Twitter has become.
