You know that envious feeling you get when someone says "I've never heard of ____" and you realize you're about to introduce them to something they're going to love for the rest of their life?

Yeah...my sons friend just said, "Joe Satriani? Who's that?"

😱

Excited to see a new @KameronHurley tale on this week!

You know, if anyone challenges you to name the last non-genre/non-SF/non-fantasy book you read, you could do worse than tell them you read this:

The kinda numbers that make one rethink their life choices:

We've had this turtle for 2 years & only just found out she's female. We're still getting used to the pronouns.

She didn't eat all of her feeder fish this summer, so there are 5 goldfish in the tank. She does hunt them, so tension is building.

It's funny to see the humans forget & call her "he" when she's hunting, but "she" when she's resting and watching the fish swim around.

I don't think the turtle cares what we call her.

I also do #genealogy research and blog about it:

#familyhistory puts my relatives and ancestors mostly in #Ohio #Florida #NewJersey #California ...really kind of all over the U.S.

Favorite story: a 6x-great grandfather was a Hessian soldier captured by Washington who refused to leave New Jersey after the end of the war. (search the blog for Leopold Zindle)

Called out sick from the Day Job, the dog is being annoying, and I'm too grumpy and cough-ing-y to focus on writing, so the day feels like a waste.

But now I know how the "content warning" thingy works.

@jrblackwell​ - I just cobbled together a bio about you on the Escape Artists wikia (http://escape-artists.wikia.com/wiki/J._R._Blackwell)

I recognize some of your friends from there, too - I hope I did you all justice!

Hello World!

I debated long and hard about whether to make a fart joke about this, but I have decided not to do so.

I *might* be growing up. (I hope not.)

Anyway, this is my first Toot. Enjoy this picture of my dog. https://scifi.fyi/media/cpXH8kfM_8u8ua8EqvA
