I really wish people would stop talking about autistic people (like me!) as a “risk” instead of a neutral and naturally occurring subset of humanity who get born mostly because other autistic people exist in our bloodline. It’s really exhausting. We’re human and ✨can hear you.✨

I am not talking for 3 hours, okay? I will talk for 20 minutes and then decompress in my room alone.

I would love to see change to address climate disaster, whether that's with making a wish at a carnival's Zoltar machine or decarbonization policies.

You will not regret reading this very short fiction which doesn't feel like fiction by @jenniferhudak.bsky.social smallwondersmag.com/piece/echo-s...

OMG...!!!

OMG...!!!

As someone who is neurodiverse and on the spectrum, I have thoughts on that presidential big announcement about autism. Here we go! We've always been around. We'll always be here. Living, seeing, loving, dying. 1/ www.patreon.com/posts/139553...

So a while back, some cool people at WotC were like, Aimee would you like to make up a space guy? and I was like, YES, YES I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE UP A SPACE GUY. and here he is! he's here!

Happy Rosh Hashanah y'all.

I'm the mother of two teenage daughters, so this story hits home. And that ending? 💀 I see you @jenniferhudak.bsky.social ! smallwondersmag.com/piece/echo-s...

How fucking cool is this @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at Rosh Hashanna services and EVERYONE WAS MASKING! Kolot Chayeinu was one of the first synagogues to call for ceasefire. “The rabbi spoke extensively about the war in Gaza, calling Israel’s campaign a genocide.”

This is a Jewish comedy noir novella that has less than $1000 to go and less than a day! www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

So...guess what I've been doing? It's the story of an ex-harpy, her harpy ex-girlfriend, and some extremely opinionated weaponry. Pastries! Operettas! Complicated friendships! Coming soon to a page or e-reader near you!

Chances are, I wrote what I'll be reading while drinking. If you want to come hear some on Sept. 22nd, you'll have the option of drinking, too!

Look, the zombie apocalypse is no cause to neglect the garden and the food it provides. Grab your gloves and boots and read "A Gardener Teaches His Son to Enrich the Soil and Plan for the Future" by Jennifer Hudak in our third issue:

I already preordered this and I had NO IDEA! :D

Umm, apparently my publisher had to restock on friendship bracelet materials to keep up with preorders. Didn't expect that. Thank y'all so much. (And if you didn't know, all preorders of Tell Me Yours, I'll Tell You Mine come with a friendship bracelet that doubles as a bookmark 💫)

It's coming!!! I've been calling this one "Narnia in space" or "the rewilding story" -- THE FINAL CHRONICLE OF YENEH is part portal fantasy, part anti-capitalist anti-colonialist ecological sci-fi, and I'm SO excited that Horned Lark is helping put it out into the world!

Story publication 🙂 "But Do You Know Our Names?" by yours truly has come out in The Orange and Bee! Features a retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses that centers all 12 sisters rather than just one. Dear to me as i have 6 sisters myself! theorangebee.substack.com/p/but-do-you...

Hey! It’s a full moon. It’s a lunar eclipse. It’s a giveaway! Win an annotated copy of HIGHER MAGIC and some moon-themed stickers! 🌚 Details in thread.

as a man proud of the record he's made with his band it is my duty and also my pleasure to inform you that if you are grooving on our new tune, the pre-order is live. as a poster it is my obligation to show you what I saw when I clicked "North America" at the link www.mountain-goats.com/merch

We have a ways to go, but let me just say that hearing the responses of @princejvstin.com, @megelison.bsky.social, @jolantru.bsky.social, @ph-low.com, @jenniferhudak.bsky.social, & chatting with @catrambo.bsky.social about my book has been amazing. Thank you, all www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

Your mind is a marvel. Embrace that. It is not difficult to ascertain when students are using AI because the writing is bad. If your goal is to get a good grade, you want to put your best writing forward. I prefer flawed, human writing to mediocre machine writing.

I can't believe I need to have an AI policy! I made it pretty short though: Using AI is cheating, yourself mostly. In addition to the environmental blight created by AI, it makes no sense to use it in your intellectual and creative work. Why would you outsource your innate intelligence?

Update: we just received a statement from Macmillan/Tor taking full responsibility for failing to register copyright, promising to make us whole and pay us any settlement money we lost out on due to that error, and promising to find & correct the lapses that caused this. Every pub should do this.

We won’t get any funds if we don’t reach our goal in the next 4 days. For the love of speculative fiction, horror stories, weird fiction, dark fantasy, magical realism, fantastique, slipstream, science fiction, alltopias, everypunk—back us so we can bring you more stories in 2026! kck.st/4mIkEm1
