We struggle to explain this. My blood quantum is high, but it’s wrong; we’re the only culture defined like dogs & horses. I am ᎾᏍᎩᎠᎨᏴ ᎦᎪ ᎠᏂᎩᎠ ᎠᎾᎦᎵᏍᎬ, Nasgiageyv Gago Anigia Anagalisgv. She Who Walks the Lightning. It means we survived.

@Gabino_Iglesias Kidding. Actual question: What is your biggest takeaway from your parents’ and grandparents’ generations about being a writer of color in your particular heritage? I find the generations, for indigenous Americans, were diametrically opposed, at least in my case, on beliefs.

@Gabino_Iglesias Did you miss me on KillerCon weekend?

[Ashley @PhysicsMermaid]

@johnwayneisdead Next time you need to open a locked door or any other mechanical/electrical magic, come get the drunk physicist upstairs!

[Ashley @PhysicsMermaid]

@GiveMeYourTeeth My husband does that sort of thing. His modernized King in the Yellow Hoodie is a good piece—it’s on my page somewhere.

Moments at #KillerCon 2019:
“You read CREEKERS at age TWELVE?�� *face goes white*
— @BrianKeene on my introduction to horror

“I fuckin’ love that story!”
— @edwardleeauthor on the exact same subject

You think you know the best in #horror? You don’t if you haven’t met @CMorganAuthor! Love this lady.

Horror writers aren’t always scary. (Yes we are, but we look cute while we plot grisly murders.) @YerPalSkipp

“Once you make the squad, you’ll make friends!” No, Brenda, I made enemies who will now perpetually hit me up for their pyramid schemes for all of eternity.

Me vs. #WrathJamesWhite at #KillerCon 2019. The tables have turned, my giant, muscular friend.

Just spent 3 days coming up with the most horrific, grotesque ways for people to die via a personal, extremely disturbing fetish of mine and hung out with all my horror family. Couldn’t be more pleased! #KillerCon @BrianKeene

New free short story from me today on #LadiesofHorror blog. A small English village has had a tantalizing family killing sure to keep the town gossiping, but this is no murder mystery.

If you meet a woman once and then dream about her, she's obviously a bruja and you will meet her again.

Wow (thread).

I’ve had men reply to tweets about menstruation with some variant of “I’d rather not hear about that” and I’m sorry but that’s an instant block. It’s as much a part of my life as having a good day or a bad day or a cold or a party and I’m going to tweet about it.

The average density of dark matter in our local neighborhood is ~6*10^-22 kg/m^3. The average volume of a human body is ~0.0664 m^3. Assuming a dark matter particle has mass of order ~1 GeV, then right now ~20,000 dark matter particles are passing through your body. Happy Monday!

@Gabino_Iglesias If you have radiation physics questions, you know where I am!

POLICE CHIEF: We need you to go deep undercover.
ME: How deep?
CHIEF: VERY deep.

[Later, lying on a blanket, looking at the stars]
ME: *Turns to mob boss* What do you think God is?
