This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
Ted Chiang once told our Clarion West class that our taste for stories would outstrip our talent for a good while, but that we would eventually catch up to it if we kept writing.
Just don’t give up. That’s all you have to do.

A white hand holding a copy of Common Bonds 2, a "speculative aromantic anthology". Its cover has two friends in blue tones knitting a sweater together, framed by bright orange and red autumnal leaves.
In absolutely iconic timing, I received Common Bonds 2's final proof on Valentine's Day.
What a gorgeous book we have put together. 🧡💚
It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

The satisfaction of making a thing, even if it's janky, comes from actually making the thing. It's especially potent when you overcome some kind of limitation or barrier in order to make the thing. That shit is catnip to a certain kind of person. 3/11
thank you! <3
Very excited to have a story in this upcoming anthology from @inkedingraypress.bsky.social (because not everything I write is depressing *all* the time)! inkedingray.com/announcing-h...
Super excited to announce that I'll have a story, "The Husband Stitch", in this anthology! I can't wait to read all the other stories!
there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually
Dera likes two things: solving technical puzzles, and being left alone. When a ship with mysterious errors comes to them for repairs, they end up with a bigger puzzle than they ever imagined solving—one that forces them into the center of a galaxy-spanning conflict. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND
What started as an investigation into one mysterious artifact lost in space turns into a hunt for a set of keys unlocking galaxy-changing technology. As the greedy Onyx Group joins the hunt, Dera discovers the terrifying reason the tech was hidden away to begin with. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND
The fungal implants Dera and Karsten Station’s other technicians have give them unmatched repair skills, but also make them outcasts. When Dera gets caught in a conflict that threatens the station, they have to decide if a home that rejects them is one worth saving. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND
Technician Dera is sick of being stared at for the implants that help them do their job. When they meet a ship captain who treats them with kindness instead, they jump at the chance to travel with her, only to discover too late her motives were not what they seemed. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND
Karsten Station has stayed independent of the ever-expanding Onyx Group for years, growing fungal cores that power FTL ships. But when Karsten technician Dera finds an artifact that both groups claim, their home gets caught in a power struggle that could destroy it. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND
We're aware the hashtag searching is down right now. We have reports it does work if you redownload the app, but is still buggy on desktop. We've contacted bluesky and will update soon #dvpit
What starts out as a simple investigation into one lost ship spirals into more than Dera bargained for: a scavenger hunt for artifacts holding ancient tech, a rescue from an all-consuming corporation, and a conflict that endangers the station that is Dera’s home. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND
