Today is going to be a very interesting discussion at my synagogue's book club. Also Snow in August is a deeply disappointing book that clearly shows why "own voices" books are necessary.

It's my synagogue's movie club day.

I'm going to the library.

It looks like there's no issues in filing my ADHD prescription (knock on wood).

#WritersCoffeeClub 2.7 — Complete this phrase: I write because…

It’s usually fun and it improves my mental health. Writing nonfiction is like putting together a puzzle. Writing fiction gives me space to explore.

I have a queer, contemporary, cozy fantasy story out in the December issue of Factor Four Magazine. https://factorfourmag.com/the-freedom-to-decide-by-w-l-bolm/

My story is out today in Fantasy Magazine!

This story is based on the monstrous half-Christian, half-Muslim child in the medieval romance 'The King of Tars.' https://www.fantasy-magazine.com/fm/fiction/negative-theology-of-the-child-from-the-king-of-tars/

#WritersCoffeeClub 30: Silly responses to saying "I'm a writer"?

I once went on a date with a guy who ran a small time sci fi con. This was after I started volunteering for WisCon.

Once I told him I was a writer, he gave me much unsolicited writing advice (he was not a published author). When I told him the authors I was reading at the time (and who write books in my wheelhouse) he was super dismissive.

I think it was the year after I moved that a con he was running had a huge race fail.

I appreciate the new genre of tv where Natasha Lyonne plays a sexy angry grandpa solving crimes.

#Mushrooms and mycelia keep emerging as themes in nonfiction/self-help, and in #sciencefiction #scifi and #fantasy (The Last Of Us, Star Trek: Discovery, Motherland: Fort Salem & more), and in rhizomatic approaches to #activism. Like, what's up with that?

"The Future is Fungi: The Rise and Rhizomes of Mushroom Culture" is an upcoming online discussion event on July 11, 2023:
