Are you in NYC? Come to @scottwesterfeld.bsky.social and my book launch on 21 July at P&T Knitwear on Orchard Street! The Mortons is about an ancient crime family trying to survive in our modern world by me & Scott. An Addams/Sopranos Family mashup, but with stylish vintage clothes & cocktails.

What @theafrocentricone.bsky.social said. We've been courtside at #NYLiberty games since 2011. It's an absolute joy. We sit near physical therapists, public servants & other non-billionaires. It's not Gucci row. We're there because we love women's hoops. Very few of us will be back next year. #wnba

This safe injection clinic is in my neighbourhood in Sydney. It provides not only clean needles but free healthcare. It's massively reduced overdoses and other bad health outcomes of being addicted. The folks who use it cause zero problems for those of us who live & work here.
Rainbow lorikeets are as common as pigeons throughout much of Oz. They are very happy making.
