I like bee butts and I cannot lie... . . I don't know who took this picture butt it rules.

This story is fantastic.

Well, another Wrath Month has rolled around and we still don’t have a book. About that… 💙📚 #BookSky #SmallPress #Publishing #QueerBooks #AI (1/20)

Between Granta's face plant and me finding likely AI-"written" stories/poems in online SFF magazines, let's talk about what you, Editor of a Magazine What Doesn't Want AI Prose, can do! There's no One Weird Trick, alas. It comes down to recognizing signs and developing your editorial sense. (1/8)

If my BlueSky experience is an echo chamber, at least it's an echo chamber that says "Change is possible," "This is how we win," and "Look at my cat."

The queer liberation library is fundraising to add more books to their collection. They're a fully digital library, which means people whose libraries are censoring LGBTQ+ content can still access queer literature.

Hey fellow trans friends, I can't wait to get fucked up with some weird ass trans horror ❤️give me the stories you finished and were like "nah, I love this..but it's fucking weird and unsellable." And you leave it in a doc for 3 years. Please surprise me & make me feel gross & cry. I want it bad

Your infrequent gentle reminder: I would like to share your art/photos/activism if you have alt text on it! Alt text lets people with vision impairments, screenreader users, people who have connection issues/slow internet/not much data/etc, and people like me (Squint Kings) enjoy it!

Several people have asked me recently why Analog/Asimov's/F&SF/Ellery Queen/Alfred Hitchcock still don't have Submission Grinder listings again, because the communications from SFWA on the subject have been so positive. So I thought it might be worth addressing this briefly.

How Do Dinosaurs Leave the World a Better Place Than They Found It. RIP.

I do, in fact, love this book. A lot.

"There was a time when all our stories were about birds and stars and our grand, infinitesimal home. Eco fiction makes the deliberate choice to tell those stories again—and acknowledges that we never stopped." - Maro Reus on Ecofiction www.briefecology.com/the-rotting-...

This is the best thing on the internet today.

Issue Two of Adventitious contains, among other things, a thousand-year-old monster who charges 1000 złoty to remove a rusalka from your child's iPad and then eats it in her car. This is representative of our editorial vision.

Just to be clear-- our president, the man with the nuclear codes and the military might of the United States in his hands-- is publicly promising AND ACTIVELY COMMITTING war crimes and crimes against humanity. Hey Congress-- DO YOUR JOB and take his power away!

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.
