Spending way too much time building little archives/trackers in Notion makes me finally understand what people see in Minecraft
I love projects where I can help readers in a tangible way. Assignments like this, where I can take something complex and make it more accessible, are why I do what I do.
I am also open to taking more hi-lo freelance assignments in both fiction and nonfiction.

My editor tells me that Percy Jackson has hit 780 weeks / 15 years on the New York Times children's series bestseller list. Wow. Thanks to everyone who has let Percy be part of their lives!

Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches? Greta Thunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here.

Reporter: “Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?” Greta Thunberg: “Because of racism.”
This is how.
Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

The ConCurrent Seattle logo. A white flying saucer surrounded by white stars uses a rainbow tractor beam on a purple space unicorn with sparkles floating over the Seattle skyline; everything is on a purple background.
There’s no way to ease into this news, so here it is. Today, I am announcing ConCurrent Seattle, a one-day SFFH con intended to be an alternative program to WorldCon, scheduled for Thursday, August 14, 2025, at the ACT Theatre in downtown Seattle at 700 Union Street, across from the Sheraton. 1/7
Yaqeen was so sweet and so enthusiastic and so stunningly dedicated to bringing the world joy even as her world was destroyed over and over again; I cannot put words to the absolute cruelty of murdering this beautiful warm-hearted child.
Tolkien lived and worked in a society and time completely saturated with grief and loss. Modern Ukraine is probably the closest current parallel.

Did you know there’s a whole academic pop culture conference called the Pop Culture Association? Might be the venue for such a paper…
Dang. My assumption was that it's just an action series. I'll put it on my watch list. The portrayal of masculinity especially sounds wonderful

ARAGORN: There's not really a normal road to Mount Doom, bro.
