so glad cats are real

pretty sure writing a novel is easier than writing that novel’s blurb.

zaunajma.com - Webzine, April 26 Webzine Archive

Just published my totally-not-late webzine. Read to learn about a popular beach, a lovestruck girl, and a set of twin spirits that may or may not have ended the world. Enjoy!

Explaining the Most Important Artemis II Photos YouTube video by Hank Green

Love this video from @hankgreen.bsky.social - beautiful photos made all the more beautiful when you understand what's going on

youtu.be/oaXRREHVkHo?...

can’t believe they made outer space real

I remember listening to astronaut Victor Glover describing this scene on the live stream. After hours of giving very poetic and detailed descriptions of the moon’s surface, he was completely dumbfounded at this point and just said it looked “sci-fi.”

and yeah no he was right.

EARTHSET.

Humanity, from the other side. First photo from the far side of the Moon. Captured from Orion as Earth dips beyond the lunar horizon.

🚀🌕🌍

my eyes and ears have been so glued to the moon all day that i didn’t have the focus to finish and publish this month’s Zaun Ajma Webzine. It will come soon. Just late.

#Artemis II - The crew onboard the Orion are now witnessing a solar eclipse from behind the moon, something nobody from the history of humanity has ever witnessed

They may also be able to see other planets such as Venus, Saturn, Mars and Mercury during this experience

🚀🌕🌓🌒🌑

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

#Artemis II - A beautiful moment from the live feed from Orion Spacecraft, in 5 mins the blackout from Mission Control, the feed captures the spacecraft, dark side of the moon and earth all in one shot

go go go! 🥲

i’m beginning to suspect that the best way to get something done is to do it.

the crystalline waters of pure euphoria vs. actual lint soup

imagine trying to do something simple like, i dunno, converting a PowerPoint to PDF, and a multi-gazillion dollar company like, i dunno, Microsoft, was like "we're actually gonna take ur beautiful high-resolution photos and bork them to high heavens. hope you die."

that would be crazy, right?

This month's webzine is out! Here, I write about some of the cultures outside of Wistania (the primary setting of my novels), so I'm excited to finally start exploring their lore.

idk why i keep playing these

editing my novel

‘night

is this about discord?

personally, i think we should keep backlashing them.

frienemy -> hatemate

them: “the stock market is doing great!”

me, who started investing last year: “ah, i’ve made 11 dollars.”

Writing is thinking.

It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.
