This book!

Today I grilled 150 burgers and gave out 11 party raffle prizes. Someone praise me

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

I honestly had no idea what to expect from this residency but it was a fucking joy. Take a look at what the Banff Centre has coming up: www.banffcentre.ca/literary-arts

How the heck did I get this in my list of emojis 

Here’s Ai Juang @aijiang.bsky.social at our last (whaaaah) reading at the Banff centre.

I've thoughts on the things we're not supposed to talk about along with the stories we tell. How we must push back on the justifications people use to ignore or embrace the wrongs around them. I also wonder why we let Alexanders and incendiaries hurt so many people. www.patreon.com/posts/139194...

So, about that fascist who got murdered: stop talking about him. If you really disagree with his agenda, stop amplifying his message.

I need a timeline cleanse. How about a table of contents announcement! That’s right—despite the world being on fire, it’s time to reveal the TOC for Year’s Best Canadian F&SF Volume 3! It was VERY hard to narrow the list down but it's all killer, no filler. The book launches October 14. Enjoy! 1/2

So, yeah, that's what we can learn from this guy. Don't waste even a second of your day, let alone six HOURS trying to stop something that is a normal and even necessary part of being alive. Go out and do something cool today. 💚

Excited about @coyotemedia.org, covering the Bay Area. A strong start here, on the meaning of the alt-weekly in an era where they've comprehensively vanished. Murderer's row of expert witnesses: @tromano.bsky.social, @annkpowers.bsky.social, @48hills.bsky.social. www.coyotemedia.org/what-we-talk...

The 1st episode of the new pod-miniseries I'm hosting at @issuesinst.bsky.social is out now! I talk with spec-fic writer & anthropologist of tech @boriscrito.bsky.social about the slow disaster of data centers, the rapid disasters of hurricanes in the Caribbean & the ways we envision the future:

Public transit and science fiction!! You know you want it! Check out this incredible FREE event tomorrow, 9/16, in San Francisco. The good news is that this event will be livestreamed, so you can sign up to watch remotely at the link!

Love that terrific Canadian author @kellyrobson.com is putting home-care nurses front-and-centre in this modern horror short story

My story MEDIAN is about a home care nurse reactormag.com/median-kelly...

This is Canada: “Home care RNs are the lowest-paid nurses in the province, despite facing among the worst working conditions. The system is hanging by a thread now. Understaffed, unsafe and underpaid RNs are leaving the sector, as the largely female workers face a staggering amount of violence.”

I've got a story, Unforgettable, in Volume 4 - LIMBO - of @clubchicxulub.bsky.social that I'm super excited to see published! clubchicxulub.com/club-chicxul...

Oakland and Bay Area friends! You will love this!

Working for the devil got you down? Place a curse on a wealthy family--it worked for me! I just wrote 'Self-care for monsters', another lively issue of Sunday Scaries. buttondown.com/daviddemchuk...

I haven’t been posting much from Banff, because it’s been so intense and wonderful here. Our group of Science Fiction writers are absolutely amazing and I love every single one of them. Here is a mountain.

In a little over 2 hours, we'll be live in Twitch with a brand new interview. We're talking to @thomasha.bsky.social about his new collection, Uncertain Sons and Other Stories! Join us at 7 PM Central. Audience participation is always welcome! See you soon! twitch.tv/alphabetst...

Bawling.

One of my favorite books, possibly because I met @ponyco.bsky.social while reading it. In any case, get yourself a copy, you will NOT be disappointed! 🐴👍

I wrote books. I'm writing more. kellyrobson.com/books/

Transgender people need our support and solidarity more than ever. We either come together or we all fall. That’s where we are.

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

For people who want comfort and cosy reads now - if you love upper MG and YA. scarletferret.com/books/comple...

This story by @champwongs.bsky.social, holy shit. www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/auto...

Ridiculously early to be up but here we are at the Banff Centre

I’m sorry but this is a just a wood chipper. Calling it a Bandit Intimidator just shows how toxic your masculinity is.

My Genre Grapevine analysis of the Anthropic AI settlement with authors. Overall, most authors got screwed with the settlement payments barely covering 7% of the books Anthropic pirated to train their generative AI system. 1/ www.patreon.com/posts/138349...

Hi did you know that there's a sapphic Orpheus book that came out this summer? It's like if you threw Hadestown and ace lesbians into a blender and gave it a PW star and anyway here's my book. moonpalacebooks.com/item/3Czr8Ta...
