When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was: 1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one 2 preorders: we need to stock this book 3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out 4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Maarsii to the Writers Guild of Alberta, to the judges, and to Nhung Tran-Davies for the incredible gift of this first place award. The story I sent is called ‘Maxim and the Devil - a Northern Fairy Tale,’ and it is one of my favourites. #metiswriter #albertawriters #fairytale #prairiedevil

My sixteen year old daughter was reffing a girls basketball game today with another sixteen year old guy. A coach argued her call but would only talk to the guy ref. She walked up to him and said, “It was my call, you look me in the eyes, you talk to me.” because she’s a BOSS.

Okay, Red Rising seems like a good book but… it’s not actually about Mars, so I’m disappointed. Could have been based on any terraformed planet. Thoughts?

Get those #shortstories in! @onspecmag.bsky.social

Now is the time for research, and my first BlueSky post. This #novel came to me five years ago in a dream and won’t let go. Every year I try to write it I realize I’m not good enough yet. Maybe this year? #specfic #metisonmars #therefugium ##indigenouswriters
