so excited and honored to be in this issue with a story i often doubted would ever sell and it couldn't have found a better home here!!

if i had a nickel for every time i got a story published that was written while obsessively listened to the annihilation (2019) soundtrack i'd have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but I love that it happened twice - "this is not your extinction event" coming soon with @othersidespec.bsky.social

surprise: it's pre-order time! 🥩✨️ seeing this collection emerge into the world makes me feel so loved. a lot of passion & effort from multiple people went into creating this. i hope that you're all as excited for it as i am

So living with my parents abruptly became unsafe (mentally/emotionally) and I'm leaving ASAP. I have somewhere to go, but it's out of state. I'm packing now but I have to register my car before I go and that's $500. Anything helps. 🫀 Venmo: probablyharmless PayPal: theohillwriter at gmail

Another shout out for this survey, if you have 10 minutes to spare! Working on the conference abstract today :-)

best shows of the year 10/10 no notes

my favourite christmas movie

kith crit: cohort one let's get into the weeds

This story literalises apocalyptic imagery, making clear how appalling it is and offering an alternative. Translunar Travelers Lounge has fun as our central theme, yet sometimes fun stories can be dark too. We welcome comments and reviews.

It's day 23 and now we have Deliverance by @esichr.bsky.social a story about the end times, of heaven coming down from it's hiding place in the moon, and how terrible and sordid all that is

It was a wonderful first year of publishing! I'm proud of everything that was released this year, but I would be especially grateful if you considered my poetry and my recent story in Inner Worlds as you nominate this awards season. Links to every piece in the thread below! 🧵

Calling all Inner Worlds writers and readers: please tell me your thoughts about mental health and speculative fiction! 🧠❤️

I've made a short survey with some prompt questions. If you have time and inclination to add any answers I would be very grateful indeed. Here's the link! www.cognitoforms.com/InnerWorlds1...

My second ever poetry publication is out today from my dearly beloved God's Cruel Joke if you want something to chew on today that might just chew you back.

if you're on the fence: the sale of these anthologies does a lot. this year, profits from 1 full-price anth sale are able to pay 3 contributors to next year's publications!

It was way too early in the morning when I first reposted this so I didn't say anything but this is one of my favorite stories I've ever written and I stuck with it through 37 rejections and it would mean a lot to me if you'd take a look. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️‍🔥

Obsessed with this one by @esichr.bsky.social from HAD (I forget if I’ve shared it before, but it’s so good it’s definitely worth sharing twice!)
