A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Form rejection 🙃 guess submitting poetry is much the same process as submitting short stories. 😬😭

I finished the first draft of my WIP right before WorldCon and it got me thinking about the parallels with my other hobby: sewing. Check out 4 things I've learned from sewing and applied to drafting a novel. open.substack.com/pub/crkellog...

Goodbye Worldcon! I had a great time. 💜 ✈️

I hope this email never finds you. I hope a single shaft of light pierces the broken ceiling, giving life to saplings and ferns. I hope the old computer went dark years ago, and the office smells of moss and wild spores. I hope that you are free.

Woo!! Now only $477 away from $40K and 80% funded!! GO, SPACE UNICORNS, GO!!!

This turtle on a skateboard has brought me great joy @gentlem.bsky.social @dynavox.bsky.social

We're at 971 issues downloaded so far in 2025! Only 46 so far for FF#25, though. If you don't have your copy of FF#25 yet, it's a perfect time as we try to hit 1000 downloads for the year!

This upcoming weekend, I will be at Readercon in Burlington MA, doing two panels, a kaffeeklatsch, and a signing! On Sunday at 4 pm, I will be at Pandemonium Books in Cambridge MA with @wiswell.bsky.social to talk about THE FOLDED SKY and WEARING THE LION!

Construction on the pipes under my road for months. Horribly loud in the mornings. Neighborhood impassable when it’s rains. Only time it’s quiet is the weekend. Except this morning. A neighbor decided 7 am was a good time to replace the siding on his house. Readers, I’m livid. 😴😡💢

Please buy my book.

Look at this amazing cover!! The team did such an incredible job, thanks Kior Ko and Ella Laytham!! And oh man wait til you see the french flaps

AI might be able to string together a bunch of words and call it a poem, but AI has never had a broken heart or gasped out loud at a sunset or laughed while eating pizza at 3am with their best friend. Writing doesn't spring out of a hat.Every feeling you've ever had or witnessed goes into the work.

Please help get @locusmag.bsky.social over the finish line, as they’re incredibly close to their fundraising goal! Locus Magazine has been a fantastic pillar of our community, and supporting them will ensure that they continue to be a magazine of record for SFFH. Chip in here: igg.me/at/locusmag2...

Starting in the fall, @thecosmicbgr.bsky.social will be running non-fiction from @lpkindred.bsky.social, and @tkrex.bsky.social among others. We're still looking for two writers who'd be willing to write 1-3 pieces of non-fiction per year, paid, of course. (1)

I’ve donated a zoom chat to the Locus fundraiser. Come join me, we can talk about fountain pens and board games and books AND support a true pillar of the SFF field: igg.me/at/locusmag2...

I just bought issues of @flashfictiononline.bsky.social for a lucky Patreon member as part of the most recent giveaway, celebrating recent FFer publications! If you wanna help support FF and also win cool stuff, join us! www.patreon.com/fusionfragment

Another sale over at Blurb! 20% off AND free shipping for many parts of the world. I was ordering a proof of Saros #3 last night and it cost me $7 instead of the usual $18, so it's perhaps the best time ever to order if you've ever wanted to get a print copy of FF or Saros.
