This happened to me. I still post the Kindle Unlimited link now and then because times are hard and if someone likes my work but can't always afford it they can get a free novella titled Down From, published by Snuggly Books. That being said, Kindle Unlimited is a scam.

Always been proud to be called a slipstream author

Holy shit these two photos from Artemis II that were shared just a bit ago.

United Nations expert Francesca Albanese’s latest report warns that Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale that “suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent” and that “torture has effectively become state policy” since October 2023.

William Butler Yeats gazing in the direction of Bethlehem:

Israel is bragging about assassinating these journalists, calling one of them a “terrorist” because he was, you know, doing journalism Israel didn’t like. Same playbook as Gaza. Brand them terrorists, assassinate them at will, hope that other journalists will fall into line bsky.app/profile/msja...

1/ Today, the Carney government joined the Conservatives and the Bloc to defeat @jennykwan.bsky.social's No More Loopholes Bill — legislation that would have stopped Canadian weapons sent to the U.S. from being used to fuel the genocide in Gaza.

Many of you will know the great Ursula K. Le Guin story, "The Ones Who Walk away from Omelad." Occurs to me that Trumpies would never walk away. They would enjoy inflicting all the small cruelties on the imprisoned child who doesn't understand why they're tormenting her. The cruelty is the point.

Yup. Can't dismiss this or excuse it. So painful to see Chomsky behave this way. www.counterpunch.org/2026/02/03/o...
