I'm on a journey to become a self-sufficient author of trauma-informed STEM scifi by the end of 2026 - hope you can join me. Readers call my stories 'Cory Doctorow meets James S.A. Corey.' SFWA member #scifi #author #MikeSierraEcho #booksforkids #GSBCW

Bluesky - I'm on a mission to prove that the Fediverse is more powerful than X. How? Good news for you - literally no money involved. Grab 24 of my stories for free. Click, download, and boom—instant sci-fi. inkican.com/smashwor... #booksky #books #freebooks #scifi #booksforkids #summerreading

I did the math on my book sales, and… wow. Turns out I’m only about a few thousand downloads away from feeling like a sci-fi tycoon.

How? Give away 10,000 books.

Good news for you - literally no money involved. Grab 24 of my stories for free. No catch. No weird hoops. Just click, download, and boom—instant sci-fi.

Here's what I'm gonna do with all those free sales ...

Number One - I'mma help these two - $100 will buy me a couple extra bags of cat food and pay down SOMEBODY's vet bill (Someone has been giving himself hot spots that get infected but we won't say who).

Number Two - I'mma be able to tell Draft2Digital - thanks but I've got $100 in sales this year, no need to charge me $12/year to host my books on your platform while charging me 35% royalty on every sale.

Think of it as helping an indie author while stocking your brain with spaceships, weird tech, and questionable life choices in zero gravity. Win-win

LOL - Eugene has this - it's over on Coburg Road. Seriously, go look: the Mattress store is across from the supplements store and it's next to the Batteries Plus store. Zero traffic, every day. #eugene #boringdystopia

A picture of a Chase, a Mattress store, a GNC, and an XFinity store in the same strip mall with the comment: 'There's going to be a restaurant that you love next to these and that's the only thing that'll close within the next 20 years'

Next time Aunt Karen or Uncle Kent starts complaining about how tough it is being old, show them this.

the feeling of forwarding an email you

This means you.

It's 0k to be white.
It's 0k to be black.
It's 0k to be asian.
It's 0k to be hispanic.
It's 0k to be female.
It's 0k to be male.
It's 0k to be gay
It's 0k to be straight.
It's 0k to be YOU.
But it's NEVER okay to cook a steak
well done.

If a book is free; it has seconds to prove it matters. No safety net - no cushion. My stories fight to stay in your head. inkican.com/smashwor... #scifi #summerbooks #bookreview #library

Brilliant take - let's do a sci-fi crushes thread! Who was your first sci-fi crush? I'll start ... #scifi #crushes #movies #FYP

That's it - I nominate 6/28 as Jamie Lee Curtis Day where once a year - she emerges from obscurity to correct the record on some silly nonsense and we all rejoice. #JamieLeeCurtisDay

Oh really? Well, I married the six fingered man, obviously why we have
stayed together for 35 years and there is only ONE The Princess Bride
and it's William Goldman and @robreiner's. "Life is pain highness.
Anyone who says differently is selling something!"

The Real luxuries in life:

• Living close to work, gym, and groceries
• Quiet neighbors
• Peace at home
• Drinking coffee without rushing
• Waking up excited for your work
• Laughing with people who let you be
yourself
• Sleeping with a clear conscience
• A home-cooked meal with loved ones
• Time to read without interruption
• Waking naturally without an alarm
These things make life feel rich.

Srsly. Never understood the hype. Korean fried chicken is SO MUCH BETTER. Try Cluckin Dog in Eugene. #popculture #food #fridayfeeling

Raising Canes tastes like they should've raised Abel instead

Okay - hear me out: this is evil, but imagine doing this to a job interviewer for a job they have no intention of giving you ...

Poor pupper - a lifetime of abuse and cruelty - doesn't know how to process when receiving kindness. You see it at the end, sitting there, blinking in weariness. "They ... they could have been this nice the whole time?"
