When people ask how to get into GA SF I always say that the right way is via some of those fat "Best Of" short fiction collections

I LOVE SERIES ACCLIMATION MIL. I LOVE JAY’DEN’S SKIRT.

Feeling particularly proud of the early reviews for @redscribe.bsky.social’s GRIEF EATER. This novella is so raw and emotional. It is stunning, hard, heartbreaking queer horror at its best. www.netgalley.com/book/790964/...

My book has a back! Thanks so much for the blurbs, @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social @ktidbeck.bsky.social @literaryminded.bsky.social and Suzan!!

I watched this happen in real time with my own father It took me a decade to accept that no amount of my persuasion was going to change it & accept that the man I thought I knew & loved died & was killed by his own racism The truth hurts but lying to everyone has brought us here It’s the racism

Just got an email of a job offer to be a copy editor for AI slop. A) that's fucking insulting B) the pay is literally 40% of what I make in the shipyard C) the job offer/recruitment was a cold email that said the email was also generated by AI slop D) fuck AI slop

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

@sharangbiswas.bsky.social 's story strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi... has haunted my brain for a while, but I couldn't remember the title and had to go beg a hand finding again. I absolutely love the structure of it and the way the story is perfectly integrated into it

Exclusive: Private jet owned by Israeli-American tycoon close to Trump family has been used by ICE to deport Palestinians from Arizona to Tel Aviv - "part of secretive and politically sensitive US government operation to deport Palestinians arrested by ICE" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I WANNA GO TO STARFLEET ACADEMY 😭

USS RIKER 😭

Mahmoud: My little child Ahmed and I are living the worst days of our lives 💔 No food, no water, and the constant fear of bombing surrounds us 😢 Every moment without food increases his suffering… verified @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/mahm...

Two Grammys in a row have featured insanely talented, generationally cool young women taking stands for social justice in their speeches, followed by major outlets publishing trash op-eds from boring misogynists who spend more time belittling the messengers than actually addressing their concerns.

I’M SO GLAD TREK IS QUEER AGAIN, LOVE YOU GAY KLINGON AND BISEXUAL FISH BOY, LOVE YOU RENO AND THOK

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

The statement also shows that sloppers don't GET that there's more to art than just what it looks like. People want to know why it was made and what it means and what it is in the context of everything the artist is too. They think the Mona Lisa would still be what it is without DaVinci (&co)

ICYMI, David Eddings (and his wife, Leigh) were jailed for the extensive child abuse of their adopted son and daughter. Think about how bad that abuse would have been for them to have been jailed for a year each in the 70s. Monsters, both of them.

Waves.

Seeing this for Sophie Nélisse anyway but I’m glad it’s good!!

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

Really loving Grief Eater by @redscribe.bsky.social. Can't say I've read a book from the perspective of the zombie, but damn it's emotional and beautiful. Had no idea what to expect when I requested it on NetGalley, so damn glad I did!

I'm so excited to put this in my brain when it comes out.

'🚨Naser is losing his voice💔 My 5yo son’s thyroid is crushing his vocal cords. He struggles to speak, and soon, he may go silent. A $350 MRI is the only way to save his voice and future, but I am helpless. Please don’t let my son’s world go quiet. Donate or share,Every second counts'

apologies for lack of alt text but i am yoo tired to type all this again @ogre.red thinks terms if service are bullshit and licensing for poetry is unimportant because "who would steal a poem" my advice would be to avoid doing business with this person

We have updated DetentionReports.com with the most recently released data from ICE. Many people have asked that we add a map to the home page. We have added this feature. Click one of the blue icons to proceed to the report of the corresponding detention facility. detentionreports.com

Quick round up: - the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile - he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments - his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets - the FBI is helping him steal the election - he’s threatening war against multiple allies 👍👍👍

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Incredible

This is an important point. Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist. The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes. So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.

I WANT A STARFLEET ACADEMY LETTERMAN JACKET

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

Stay the fuck away from this place!

My forthcoming book The Forgetting Navigations is on Netgalley and already has a five star review! www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

If you’re a reviewer, librarian etc, you can get yer wintery gothic Hitchcockian vibes from NetGalley here: www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Congrats to Vanessa Fogg for THE HOUSE OF ILLUSIONISTS, featured on the 2025 Locus Recommended Reading List! locusmag.com/2026/02...

In 2026, we're publishing speculative poems a month in a series called "Infinite Branches: Speculative Queer Disability Poetry in Conversation". Our latest is Elena Sichrovsky's "burn (kiss) the heretic". Read the poem and author's statement: magazine.interstella...

added a few dozen books to the 2026 list this week (lots of sept/oct books have been announced in the last month), take a look!

not to be all "I need money" but if 4 people get a copy, I can cover a phone repair :')

I did not know this.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Totally forgot to add this but someone mentioned how eerie it is that a train track is running near the area and it actually runs directly behind the proposed concentration camp. This video is from the parking lot:

The nazis raided and burned the first gender clinic. The Reagan revolution closed down most of the gender clinics in the US and left coverage uninsurable for decades. We've been here before. We'll get through just as we always have. With strength and resilience in community. They can't eradicate us.

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

Another day of the Israeli ‘ceasefire’, another massacre of civilians at the hands of the exterminationist state backed by the West

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

And then there’s this shameless garbage from Albanese, repeating the tired line that “people don’t want conflict brought here” while literally inviting the president of the “conflict” here. The utter contempt these people have for Australians is so glaring.

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

For World Cancer Day, here is another poem. I have such a hostility in me to everything this cancer has changed or taken away and that includes making me wear gloves when I change my son; making me treat him as a problem, as something I can't handle, even for a moment, is unforgivable.
