Both the washing machine and the fridge seem to not be doing what they’re supposed to be doing. Not being sure if a fridge has to be expensively serviced or expensively replaced kinda sucks. Buying some of my games or making a donation via Ko-Fi would be a great boon right now.

Happy book birthday to Plague Birds: The Red Day Edition, the rerelease of my Nebula and Philip K. Dick finalist novel about the human-AI hybrids who are judges & executioners in the far future. Thanks to @apexmag.bsky.social for bringing out the new edition! www.apexbookcompany.com/products/pla...

Soooo I still haven’t paid my rent and I should probably be more worried but my SSRI has taken away my anxiety button but I still need to pay ASAP!

I’m really honored and humbled to see Call and Response in such august company. My little book means so much to me, and I’ve felt so gratified to find it resonated with others. I am so very grateful to be nominated.

The process of moving into a new place this month and rebuilding my life as a person living solo for the first time in over a decade has been expensive and hard. If you've been thinking about picking up any of my games, this would be a great time to go for it. store.buriedwithoutceremony.com

The Strange Horizons annual fund-drive is now live! Support us to continue publishing free, weekly, online SFFH fiction, poetry, art, and non-fiction for our 27th year! www.backerkit.com/c/users/3516... For new supporters - welcome aboard. For the regulars - you’ll notice something different. 🧵

EVERYBODY SUPPORT STRANGE HORIZONS! Get cool swag and rewards, amazing stories, and did I mention I quoted extensively from Gautam's essay from the special fungus issue (!) for my two recent conference presentations about myco-narratives 🍄 How do you get that without SUPPORT

So consider this your reminder that THE HERO’S JOURNEY LITERALLY BREEDS NAZIS. This is why I’m committed to community-centered storytelling. Disrupting the paradigm of a lone hero waging war and winning. That’s the journey we’re on with JUPITER RUINS EVERYTHING. sentencebender.substack.com/embed

Update: On Jun 20, 2026 I also posted this about Emily/EDE Bell to discuss the power a publisher holds over their authors. bsky.app/profile/kris...

Update: On June 16th, 2026 I did a thread outlining some of the Atthis Arts/EDE(Emily) Bell and Chris Bell stuff leading up to the recent "danger to children" accusations they were both posting on bluesky. This also includes a summary of the Royalties Debacle (tm) bsky.app/profile/kris...

If you’d like a copy of THE GLADE for consideration for the Ignyte, let me know! voting ends on august 16 (my birthday!), and it’s open to the public! ignyteawards.fiyahlitmag.com/vote/

Voting is open @theignyteawards.bsky.social until 8/16! I'd be honored if you voted for Audition For The Fox for Outstanding Novella, but please be true to yourself and your heart; what matters is participating in this incredible award! Thanks for your time!! 🦊💜 ignyteawards.fiyahlitmag.com/vote/

Please spread the word! I’m still open to submissions for the second volume of Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction! Professional pay rate for short stories. Deadline is the end of August. Here are the details: soniasulaiman.com/thyme-travel...

Delighted to be part of this anthology alongside so many talented friends and peers! 🤩 My story, RIVER RUN RIOT RUN DRY, is about two girls dealing with an unpopular gift of prophecy in a future of drought and theocracy.

Also, I hate that authors published by Atthis Arts are getting hurt by these issues. Here's a great thread from @kristadb1.bsky.social on how to support these authors. bsky.app/profile/kris...

For the last year and a half, I have been harassed by Emily Bell, also known as E.D.E. Bell, of Atthis Arts. I naively thought her harassment and false accusations would stop, but I was wrong. I'm now done being silent about this. www.patreon.com/jasonsanford...
