Flying back to Edinburgh. Not to brag, but I watched Inception in Spanish and understood maybe half of it. (It helped that I’ve seen the film twice before.) 💪

Bluesky isn't a bubble or an echo chamber, it's a garden. You plant some seeds and pull some weeds, you tend to it with care, and you make it into a space that pleases you when you come to sit in it a while. Other people can plant and tend to their own gardens, if they like. This garden is yours.

Lovely to catch up with my friend Marie Vibbert. We chatted about her latest novel Multitude, the anthology Bad Romance: An Anthology of Trash Couples that she edited (live on Kickstarter!), and about learning Spanish. Oh, and an upcoming project of my own - stay tuned. ✍️✨📚 @reasie.bsky.social

Biome not only gives you a great story to enjoy - we also an analysis that points out a few of the coolest elements about each piece. 5 minutes of nerdy book chat - who wouldn't like that? 🤓 rss.com/podcasts/bio... #podcast #booksky #literary #story #art #entertainment #scifi #fantasy #writesky

I listened to a great SF story by Tia Tashiro in #Clarkesworld, beautifully read by Kate Baker. Archaeological Evidence for the Time Traveler by Tia Tashiro clarkesworldmagazine.com/tashiro_05_26/ (I am a huge fan of Clarkesworld. Hey, consider supporting them if you can.🙏)

samovar publishes translations alongside the original piece. they don't specialize in spanish, but they definitely have some

Las Escritoras de Urras! @escritorasdeurras.bsky.social escritorasdeurras.blogspot.com

Comprímos una cuenta bilingual en Español y Inglés ayer por Reckoning 11! Por favor enviar: reckoning.press/envios/

We publish twice a year, which sounds like a leisurely schedule until you're caught in the middle of it. While we work on the next, please enjoy Issue 14.

A question for my fellow readers & writers of speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror): Do you know any magazines that publish speculative short fiction in Spanish? Name & link, please? 🙏 Reckoning Magazine is one. reckoning.press/envios/ficci... @reckoningmag.bsky.social

I am learning #Spanish because I love travelling to Spanish-speaking countries and I want to read all the amazing fiction in Spanish. So like a dreamer that I am, I attended an online #writing workshop in Spanish. Literatura de Sombres with Ariadna Arias, organized by Rueda de Mujeres. Terrific!

I have read all four of these and they are EXCELLENT. Literally was just ruminating on The Mourning Coat in the shower the other day bc I'm STILL thinking about it

We have put together a sampler of our finest! While supplies last! *jazz hands etc* Please consider picking up this bundle if you've been eying any of these titles: 🪡 A MOURNING COAT by Alex Jeffers 💎 OFF-TIME LIVE by A.Z. Louise 🎤 HYBRID HEART by Iori Kusano 🚌 THE KILLING GROUNDS by Joan Tierney

Do you write speculative fiction? Imagine living inside a library for a week and a dozen writers carefully reading your work and giving you feedback… 🥰📖✍️ With at least 1 publication behind your belt, you can apply to #MilfordSF Writers’ Workshop. Two open spots left! www.milfordsf.co.uk/about.htm

I am telling you, solarpunk is getting traction as a concept, even as a term, it's everywhere and filtering up from the mycelial network because *shit is bad in the real world* and this is the answer: www.instagram.com/p/DX6g9FoF7n...
