900 words into my first Clarion West story and I feel like it’s ~taking shape~ ♥️

THE FUTURE IS BACK. Fifty years ago, STARLOG went behind the scenes of alternate worlds for the first time. Now it's back, exploring the visionary sci-fi and cutting-edge science that inspire what comes next. The future will be wild. You'll be ready for it because you read STARLOG.

Ahhh woke up to Egypt’s first ever World Cup win!!! ألف مبروك يا أم الدنية‼️

proofed a story coming out @iftheresanyoneleft.bsky.social in June! In a few words: dystopian, surveillance state, babies 🐣 I wrote it in the hallucinatory depths of my first postpartum and I think it shows LOL

English fluently and Arabic (Egyptian/مصري) around B2/intermediate. I'm trying to get better at reading MSA texts like news reports, books etc. now bc my childhood education focused on classical texts like Quran and hadith. Also took 4 years of Spanish in high school, hope to get back into it soon!

Tfw a story lands the way you hope it will ugh, nothing better!! Ty for the review @staniforthmick.bsky.social

Reminder

The 3rd story in Saros SF #5 is "Root Words" by @yasmeenfahmy.bsky.social. Editor @arielmarkenjack.bsky.social says: "A wonder of efficient worldbuilding. This story reveals so much of itself in so few words, and does so very beautifully indeed."

happy second Monday ft. this meditative jellyfish from our aquarium visit last week, I got 20 secs before my toddler wanted to sprint away lol

Say it with me: “the Boomers’ writing lives were exceptions…a golden age has given way to an age of chaos.” Very three-body problem, no?
