It's been a couple of weeks but I'm finally back at it. "Hand Wave" is actually turning out pretty cool.

Yes, and preferably all for free.

7 years ago today, I went "officially" missing in the Himalayas for nearly two weeks due to a sudden, unexpected, and devastating snow storm. Now, I was fine (obviously) but with no contact to the outside world, I was, essentially "dead." 🧵

Look, I can either be eloquent or I can be honest. Not both. Besides, on social media, it's my chats that always seems to go viral. Not my stories.

Hmmm.....

The novel has officially been out for three weeks today! That's hard to believe, trust me. What's even harder to believe is that it sold out the pre-order. More are now in stock though!

Honestly, the real story should be about billionaires conducting a plagiarism panic against non-white, female university presidents all the while they remain completely invested in the Plagiarism Machine. (h/t to Ben Collins)

“‘Impossible’ to create AI tools like ChatGPT without copyrighted material, OpenAI says.”

Then fucking pay for it honestly or fucking perish, you fucking grifters.

Serious question to readers out there. If you were to get a book of short stories, how many would you like there to be?

As soon as fall classes are done, I am going to make one more big push on this collection of short stories. I think I can get four of them done (at least) before spring classes resume.

See this dumb brain here? This dumb brain wrote The Way By and does Anthropology. Want to know what it doesn't do, though? It doesn't have cancer. Passed the 2 year mark with a clean scan. You go, dumb brain. The holes all over the back just make you look distinguished.

Buy physical media.

Do not allow corporations to have complete control over what you can watch or when.

Furthermore, do not allow corporations to decide what media gets to continue existing and what they can just take away.

So there I was, teaching class. My Divine Madness was course discussing the history of Victorian hysteria and the witch panics that came before it. And one of my students, in the midst of asking a question, says, in complete seriousness, "....but because they were expecting the Spanish Inquisition..."

And, of course, I say: "Anna. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition."

Friends. Colleagues. Kinfolk.

There was only silence.

Deafening silence....
