SPLASHDOWN!!!
Three cheers for science, engineering, research, curiosity, cooperation.
Look what the fuck we can do when we ask big questions, work together, and fund our scientists.
Congratulations, NASA. Congratulations, humanity!

Thanks! I will tell you at Malice! 🕵️♂️
Just *signed a thing* It’s a lot less dramatic when it’s a click in Adobe, but this is years of work right here. So excited to for my next chapter as a writer! #writesky #writingcommunity

Good morning, Bluesky.
Current top 5 versions of Wichita Lineman, an ever-changing list.
5) Dwight Yoakam
4) Jimmy Webb w/Billy Joel
3) Elvis Costello*
2) Girl Named Tom
1) Glen Campbell, Live at the Troubadour
*Doesn’t exist, best I can tell. If it did, maybe #1. Hard to dethrone Campbell.
Urge Overkill did a fantastic version at the Roseland Ballroom (RIP), received a so-so response from the very young crowd waiting for Juliana Hatfield, and the lead singer shouted with absolute venom, “That’s songwriting! You don’t know songwriting!”
Three panel comic. Panel 1: the babadook is standing, leaning against the booth at a restaurant table. He’s chatting with a family sitting at the table, “So I took the paycheck from the movie, and I bought this place.” Panel 2: the father of the family asks, “you still get royalties for that?” Panel 3: the babadook replies, “eh. Like 40 bucks.” The father says, “no kidding.” There is signage on the wall behind them that reads “Baba’s Greek Bistro”.
“… and I’m so tired.” 💯
Nice to see my first novel still going strong 😂 (To be fair, 30 cents went a lot farther when it came out in 2009!) #writesky
It’s time to start kicking around ideas for my next mystery (or thriller??). Such a great time. I get to make up any kind of character I want!
And kill them!

You can keep your beta readers. I just sent the 2nd draft of my new mystery TO MY GROUP CHAT, the one bunch I know will absolutely roast anything that deserves it. And maybe a few things that don’t. Revision is not for the faint of heart! #writesky #cozymystery #amrevising
The best thing I will read today.
This was a cool watch..Congratulations, NASA & the Artemis II Crew...🚀 👨🚀👩🚀

It is one of those very 2026 things to know that soulless wannabes are barfing up books in 20 minutes with the slop machines and then still spend 20 minutes changing “a decent amount” to “a generous slice” in the WIP. Sorry, I can only human #booksky
The Jetsons lied to us
So glad I went! Congrats again!
