Locus Awards Announces Guest of Honor Stephen Graham Jones locusmag.com/2026/03...

I wrote a personal essay about my love for bittersweet endings and LOTR, via the awfulness of the year 2001. And uh I wasn't expecting history to be rhyming quite so hard this week but here we are 😓 www.uncannymagazine.com/article/bitt...

I have a new story out today in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social! “What We Mean When We Talk About The Hole In The Bathroom” is about superstition, intercultural relationships, and yes, a strange hole in the bathroom. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/what...

i keep seeing writers who want both: * to be bold iconoclasts going against the pretenses and trends of the day and * to have a perfect 5.0 review score on goodreads and like, I'm sorry. those things don't go together.

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

Tehran tonight. Twenty people were killed in a US–Israeli attack on Niloufar Square, a busy mixed residential and commercial neighborhood in Tehran. (The photo was taken by Iran’s Student News Network and has been geolocated.)

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them. At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.
