I'm reading this right now. The legendary Vonda McIntyre's final novel, edited by @nisishawl.bsky.social, out from Aqueduct Press. A feminist Minoan alternate history. Stunning. Sci-fi author's last novel links ancient Minoans and Pacific Northwest share.google/Q0fSTMO2U69r...

"What's your sexuality?" "Also Rabbi Yochanan."

So good...

Do what's right for your own healing. Always. Whether or not you forgive is your thing. But NB "forgive" doesn't HAVE to mean "tell them you forgive them" & it CERTAINLY doesn't have to mean "let them back in your life" & ABSOLUTELY doesn't have to mean "give them a chance to do that shit again."

PSA in my tradition there's no really convo about forgiving harmdoers who have not done the work of owning harm, beginning to change, amends and serious apology (up to at least a few times, and possibly never is the harm involved trauma) more in my most recent book, ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR, natch

If you're not already, you should be watching #PursuitofJade on Netflix? Beautifully shot & produced historical fantasy Cdrama about a himbo girl who rescues a mysterious, beautiful man from dying in the snow. Peak side characters, trope subversion & much stabbing of things together. Enjoy!

Oh hey here's a reminder that my novel THE FIST OF MEMORY which is kinda what happens when you put Atomic Blonde + Arrival + Pluribus + The 3 Body Problem in my brain blender and add a lot of Africanfuturist sauce to it, is available on Netgalley right now. www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Here's the thing, friends. Antisemitism is rising. Intensely. Frighteningly. In many areas of society where it hasn't had nearly as prominent a footprint for a very long time. And Fighting antisemitism effectively means being in broad coalition with other marginalized groups, not going solo. ->

As a playwright, I've gotten to sit in the audience and hear the moment a joke lands. That laugh or sigh means so much. As an author, you send your work into the ether and hope. So, while I've been advised not to read reviews I do. Discussing a book is like clapping a faerie back to life.

This is today! 1-3 pm! Come say hi!

This would be an ideal time for @forward.com @haaretzcom.bsky.social and @jewishnews.bsky.social to present opinion pieces from Black Jews, Jews of Colour & Jews in interfaith/communal relationships about nuances and potential opportunities for anti-racism coalitions and work in response to attacks.

So I guess Smotrich would rather have 1000 October 7s than a government that doesn't shut out the representatives for 20% of the population

I'm thrilled to have a reprint in the first issue of Phantom Pulse! Look at that gorgeous cover!

YAY, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! Hella glad to still be here. (IYKYK)😉 It's a milestone birthday too, but you don't get to know which one. I'm at that age when you say, 'Guess,' when people ask you how old you are lol. And it feels good.

My next book, a practical guide for how to write for mass media, publishes four weeks from today. I hope you'll consider ordering it now, inviting me to speak, and to tell others. Here's what @tressiemcphd.bsky.social said about my work. Pre-order here: www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

I really think it’s important to underline that there was apparently no security breach. The gunman was confronted and stopped where he should have been according to the design—at the magnetometer perimeter. What this piece argues for is an *expansion* of the security perimeter in time and space.

To be fair, Urban played the role so well from having studied Kelly's portrayal deeply. Which goes to prove the old adage: Deforestation leads to Urbanization

Food, family, and mystery! This is such a fun book!

Jess Fishlock on the #NWSL: "I love going into games and looking at the opposition and going, so-and-so is great, so I need to be at my best. Otherwise, these players are going to kick my ass, because everyone is good." She'll retire after 2026. Plus a funny take on her first NWSL game. 👇

Chapter One of it's-a-long-short-story-oh-it's-a-novelette novella is fully drafted!

One month in and the reviews for Hornytown Chutzpah are trickling in. This one made my day. It was written by a Kansas City, MO #librarian. Full review can be found at www.goodreads.com/book/show/24... @aliciahillervo.bsky.social @atthisarts.com #booksky #reviews #amreading

Look, for my money the absolute game changer technologies right now are batteries and biosciences, not statistically modeling a mid conversation, but you do you.

Ooooh THE EQUALIZER x FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.

Love it when total strangers show up in my replies to make my point perfectly for me. There is already a word for hypocrites! The word is “hypocrites”! You do not need to use the word for “Jewish rabbis and their followers from the time of Jesus” when you want to say “hypocrites”!

Today is the three year book birthday of ZEN AND THE ART OF STARSHIP MAINTENANCE by @tobiasbuckell.bsky.social! 🎉🎂🚀 If Artemis II and PROJECT HAIL MARY left you craving more hopeful scifi, Buckell's 15 galactic adventures exploring humanity's cosmic wonder are made for you.

I recently dipped my toes into the science fiction and fantasy book discourse on Facebook, and I find I have things to say about the "Golden Age" of science fiction. By which I do not mean being twelve. Stick that in your back pocket, though, as it's really useful for understanding some people.

Join me and four other incredible authors tomorrow, April 18, at 11:00amEST for a fabulous panel on Language in SFFH! Hosted by the wonderful @britfantasysoc.bsky.social, it's a full day event of multiple panels, some of them including bestselling authors! Hope to see you there!

In an unexpected and honestly bizarre turn of events, one of my publishers is reprinting God's War, Infidel, and Rapture next year. It baffles me that these books are 15 years old and still in print. From a purely financial perspective, they should not be. But publishing is nothing if not weird.

NEW STORY COMING SOON! The sequel to my Nebula & Sturgeon award-winning short story, TANTIE MERLE & THE FARMHAND 4200, is out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social this May/Jun! I can't wait for you to read LINCOLN & THE HARVESTER C-100!Here's the original story: www.uncannymagazine.com/article/tant...
