I (Courtney) am running behind getting our final season 1 episode up. I'm hoping to get it out this weekend. In the meantime:

Wanna do a short writing (or editing or reading or crafting or whatever) challenge with us this month?

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

Our last interview of season one is here! Making @unfortunatelypod.bsky.social has been incredibly grounding and wonderful in a rollercoaster of a debut year.

Delighted that my story, “CoverLetter_Version,5” appeared as a reprint with two other fantastic flash pieces in @podcastle.org today! They did my story proud! 🖤

Thanks specially to Kaitlyn Zivanovich for bringing my story to life so beautifully.

What happens to all the corporate real estate when AI takes everyone's jobs?

Someone ask this man to define the scientific method.

Everyone salivating over genAI should be forced to ask it 5 questions about a topic they actually know a lot about.

We had a fantastic chat about co-writing, editing, navigating the industry with optimism, and building community! #WritingPodcast #WritingCommunity

Today's the last day to örder my book with frëe shipping!!
If you're ready for fall and want a suspenseful and engrossing novel, THE BELLES is probably exactly what you need. 😁

Love living in a timeline where pleasant community events need to post signs politely asking the government to please not kidnap people unless they've bothered to nominally abide by the constitution about it.

Yes.
