For me, it's probably my poem 'To Be the Change', which was released this spring from @strangehorizons.bsky.social! This was my first explicitly trans piece to enter the world; it tackles familial expectations and ancestral prophecies through a fantasy lens. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/po...

catch me at @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social this weekend!

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Hellllooooo from the static! It is fundraising season for many spec mags out there. We are doing things a little differently with a small gofundme to help us into 2026. We are already at $2 and just need a little boost to help us to our goal of $2400 👻 www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

Another announcement you say? 👀 I’m excited to say that my short story collection 💭MEMORIES ARE ONLY VALUABLE IF THEY CAN BE LOST💭will be forthcoming with @shortwavebooks.bsky.social spring 2027, and will include I AM AI as well! 🙇🏻‍♀️🤍

It's officially fundraising time over at @thecosmicbgr.bsky.social, and we're doing things a little differently this year. Help a pro-paying, deeply-progressive, 100% human magazine continue to thrive. We'll love you for it. gofund.me/ca0c2b7d

The motion to add poetry to the Hugo Awards has passed. Thank you to everyone who has shown support, discussed this award, sat through business meetings, and nominated/voted in the Hugo Awards. This is a huge, huge deal to poets. I am actually a bit teary. <3 #poetryhugo poetryhugo.com

FUNGI ISSUE IS GO! 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄 I know a certain ecofiction team who is gonna love reading this 👀

Folks, can we please get this funded! This is a VERY reasonable goal for a whole anthology of fantasy comics by Black women, and LOOK HOW COOL IT IS.

FUND THE FUNGI SPECIAL ISSUE 🍄🍄🍄

I have a new poem out in @thecosmicbgr.bsky.social! “Toba Catastrophe Theory” is one of the first spec poems I wrote and still has one of my favorite lines. So happy to see another magazine publishing spec poetry! www.thecosmicbackground.com/poetry/angel...

Strange Horizons' special issues are always FANTASTIC (I still think about the wuxia and xianxia one all the time). Would love to see an issue on SFF and the Working Class get funded because man, it feels more relevant than ever. www.kickstarter.com/projects/str...

✨🍄FUNGI SPECIAL ISSUE!!!🍄✨

They're so close to doing an issue on MUSHROOMS. I want the special mushrooms issue, y'all. 🍄🍄🍄

🚨🚨LAST 9 DAYS 🚨🚨 of the annual Strange Horizons fund-raiser! Still a host of rewards up for offer (see link), and we need around $4.4K more to hit our base goal. If you’ve been intending to support us this year, then the time is now! Donate here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/str...

If you missed my latest work, dive right in! This is a fictionalized account of the last days of a relative and it features a Grim Reaper society, writing to your apprentice and falling in love with mortality. ✨

Thanks to the Scalzi Family Foundation @scalzifamily.foundation @scalzi.com, the next $1,000 pledged in our fund drive will be matched dollar for dollar, so donating right now has double the impact!

We are now HALF-WAY through the fund-drive, with two and a half weeks remaining. We are 2/3 of the way towards meeting our baseline funding goals for next year. A lot of rewards and special pieces still remain to be unlocked. To find out, and to, donate: www.kickstarter.com/projects/str...

One last spot left in my poetry workshop but many more cool rewards still to get, like sponsoring a poem or signed books!

Trust me, you really want the poem by Lalini Shanela Ranaraja. It will be revealed at $12,500. So maybe sponsor a poem and help us get there!

Women Who Crossed by Claudia Excaret Santos "² When women cross the border, coyotes get rooms at motels." Read the full poem at the link to the latest issue in our bio!

having this poem out during pride month is so special to me - thank you @strangehorizons.bsky.social and especially @vanessajae.bsky.social for championing queer spec poetry (and @drethepiper.bsky.social for inspiring this piece!) strangehorizons.com/wordpress/po...
