for the record: A MEMORY CALLED EMPIRE (Teixcalaan #1) and A DESOLATION CALLED PEACE (Teixcalaan #2) are a duology. Two books! One complete arc! There will (eventually) be more Teixcalaan. More Teixcalaan will not be direct sequels. ✴️✴️💕

The Writers Guild has existed for 90 years. We’ve negotiated contracts with studios roughly every 3 years. With or without a strike, we’ve made a deal every time. If they could do without us, they would. If they could break us, they would. They can’t. They won’t. #WGAStrong

This is a pivotal moment — the WGA is fighting not just for a fair contract now, but for the future of creative careers, period. Stand with them, fight with them, and please resist the misinformation being spread around. Everyone loves stories — value the people who create them.

150 AI Workers Vote to Unionize at Nairobi Meeting

Can't quite believe I'm writing this: Today, 150 African workers behind ChatGPT, TikTok and Facebook voted to unionize at a landmark meeting in Nairobi. These AI workers are invisible, underpaid, and the backbone of the tech in all our pockets:

PSA: The WGA strike may mean that novelists & authors get approached for screenwriting. While this may seem like a perfect opportunity, please note that the WGA does strongly enforces its right to prevent non-members who have engaged in scabbing from ever becoming members.

Going to remove the vestiges of my sense of shame and ask: now that the ebook of ROSE/HOUSE is available it'd be great to get a couple of Amazon reviews from you all. (especially if you've done a Goodreads review already! same thing different website!)

Sometime in the last half-decade, I got good at dialogue. (also, meet Genevieve and Valentin, who might be in a Next Novel. or the Novel After That.)

your intermittent reminder that THE HELIOS SYNDROME drops tomorrow, April 15! Practical necromancy and air crash investigation ahoy 💀✈️😁

(did I find an actual one I could usefully purchase that was in okay condition? no.) BUT I KNOW WHAT IT WAS. Some deep part of my psyche is soothed.

but! today! TODAY I FOUND THE MAGIC SEARCH STRING. this bag, this bag of profound utility, it was a Samsonite Silhouette 10.

incidentally, did you know how hard it is to accurately google a bag from a widely popular brand that was made in a specific style 20 years ago because it is quite hard

I have a very nice travel bag now, being a grownup. It matches all my other luggage and it is extremely pretty and spacious (and dark teal). And it doesn't stay on my goddamn shoulders because it has a single long strap.

I bought this thing in ... 2001 or 2002. In the basement of the Macy's in NYC, which happened to be having a sale on Samsonite so that even a college student could afford it (barely). I used it until it disintegrated.

I had, at one point in my life, a freakishly perfect travel bag. It could fit an entire weekend's worth of clothes (including shoes, makeup, and toiletries) and it also had /shoulder straps with a real drop/, so you could wear it on your shoulder sans slippage. it was red.
