Oh hey, we spot a Small Wonders story in there! timothyquinn.bsky.social's The Warfighter in issue 23! smallwondersmag.com/piece/the-wa...

Meet Flights of Foundry Guest of Honour for Prose Vajra Chandrasekera is from Colombo, Sri Lanka. His debut novel The Saint of Bright Doors won the Nebula, Ignyte, Locus and Crawford awards, and was nominated for the Le Guin, Lammy, and Hugo awards among others.

Two things: 1. DEVIN BARLOW is in this anthology! (that was kinda not emphasized enough, in my opinion) 2. Stretch goals here focus on increased payments to authors AND staff, and in growing the overall press - adding another small press to the world.

My first properly published short story is going to be in this anthology, I’m super excited! Please take a look if you’re a short fiction fan!

The Kickstarter for Into the Dark from @awwlitmag.bsky.social went live today!! This anthology of dark fantasy and horror includes my story, "Phalanges and Flames", and 32 (!!) others. Check it out!

A book full of spooky stories, including one by me!

This is going to be amazing!!!(and not just because one of my stories is in it) there are so many talented people involved in making this anthology come to life!

🌑We’re so close to this milestone! Into the Dark is just $200 away from 30% funded. When we get there, we’ll unlock a behind-the-scenes peek at the cover design👀 Every pledge/share helps bring us closer. Thank you for pushing us into the dark with your support!🖤 www.kickstarter.com/projects/all...

I was excited when S3E9 of #startrek #StrangeNewWorlds turned into an homage to the classic sci-fi film Enemy Mine. They definitely did it justice(yes I teared up in the end) If you love #sci-fi and haven’t seen the film Enemy Mine yet- watch it BEFORE S3E9 (just trust me okay)

This is a fantastic story 💜

Looking forward to this! I'll be doing a table talk. I'm told sign ups are open!

Please share this far and wide! We need your support this week to continue publishing a pro paying magazine of horror fantasy dark science weird speculative fiction. With six days left, join our parade of 96 backers so far! kck.st/4mIkEm1

For a month my family and I kept it a secret that #HollowKnight #Silksong was being released on his birthday- TODAY. When we told him he was getting it for his birthday he was so shocked and excited he stood up in his chair exclaiming “Really! Finally!? Today?!” @teamcherry.bsky.social

I’m so excited for this!

I have a question about social expectations. If you meet an acquaintance at their workplace it’s up to them to be welcoming or not… right? I know one of the teachers at my kids school and I’ve been friendly, but half the time she doesn’t say hi, and it’s awkward- that’s on her right?

Apparently Europeans can spot North American’s because we carry large water-bottles where ever we go… My family and I are in Europe- its really hot. (31-35C) *clears throat* Most of North America is this hot(or worse)in the summer-this is why we Need the water bottles with us at all times.

I’d like to thank the creators of the Disney film #theblackcaukdron for creating a first draft plot-heavy metal focused visuals movie so that my childhood could be filled with the joys of the #carebears instead. I just watched the black cauldron for the first time… yikes. Plot issues:
