I loved this essay about clawing back a sense of humanity and community where and when you can, by @caytonholland.bsky.social!!!

statistically a lot of you won’t know about ocellated turkeys, so, here you go

“Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better.”

Still can't believe someone published this weird little story. Give it a try!

On June 30 at about 9pm, I turned in my master's thesis (actually, I didn't, but I THOUGHT I had, and that's a different story). At 10pm, I finished dinner and said, you know what would make this evening so much more fun? If I wrote an entire short story tonight also.

Being in a language class as an adult feels so silly sometimes. Like, yes, I wrote a 150 word report on bugs, and I'm very proud of it. Also I have a job.

An EXCELLENT short story. I still think about it months later

Read this last week and LOVED it

The reviews are in! The Man of Middling Height by Fadi Zaghmout, translated by Wasan Abdelhaq reviewed by Kyle R. Garton Seed Beetle: Poems by Mahaila Smith reviewed by Vivian Wagner Psychopomp & Circumstance by Eden Royce reviewed by Tristan Beiter Link to the latest issue in our bio!

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Idk how all you coffee enjoyers do it. I had a desperation coffee six hours ago and my body still feels how a Chihuahua looks

SAM KERR SCORING GOD BLESS

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR FAR TOO LONG. 634 DAYS SINCE WE LAST SAW HER PLAY, SAM KERR IS BACK ON THE PITCH. WE ARE SO HAPPY 😍😭💙

Just read a story I wrote (and revised and polished and was very proud of) ten years ago... VERY grateful for the time and opportunity I've had to improve since then, oh my goodness. 😬😬😬

Listened to "The Caravan" by @anamariacurtis.bsky.social from @uncannymagazine.bsky.social 66. Very interesting story that left me hungry for more about this world and the characters. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

Do you have any idea how bad it has to get for international humanitarian orgs to declare famine, rather than "almost a famine" or "famine-like conditions"?

Don't you want to read new stories by @seraph76.bsky.social, @pdjeliclark.bsky.social, @anamariacurtis.bsky.social, @tananarivedue.bsky.social, @atgreenblatt.bsky.social, @sgj.bsky.social? LET'S DO THIS, SPACE UNICORNS!!

I have just posted an announcement about @giganotosaurus.bsky.social being placed on pause for the next couple of months. My family has been dealing with a couple of back-to-back losses, so things are a bit hard right now. I've posted more info on FB, so feel free to go there to see what's up.

This is just to say that @diabolicalplots.com is one of those quietly standup people in the writing sphere doing the good work, not only by maintaining the Submission Grinder itself but in keeping an eye out for publications that, accidentally or otherwise, are not doing right by their authors.

👀👀

We've got a week to go in the Strange Horizons Fund Drive to keep us publishing in 2025! If you haven't had a chance to donate yet, it's not too late to pledge over on our Kickstarter. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far!

I'm thrilled at just how many mysteries lie within #MTGEternities, more I presume than this visit has the capacity to answer, the set isn't even out yet and it demands of me to demand a return. Just finished "The Doors of Uthros" by @anamariacurtis.bsky.social. Brilliant and unsettling!

Oh hey, it's out!! Was so cool to get to work on this

I just got a random message through my website’s contact form from someone who liked a story and now an entirely mediocre day is a day I’m going to be thinking about for months 😭😭😭 If you’ve ever thought about sending a writer a note about a story… you absolutely should do that. Please do that.

just read "I Met My Wife in the Woods" by @ashvalewrites.bsky.social and all I have to say is Hell Yeah?? The prose, the vibes, the ending line all SO good

The way the commentary is just repeating "Chelsea need goals" over and over... yes unfortunately I am well aware!!! #cfcw #uwcl

My column this week is about how fucking BAD the body image/fatphobic vibes are at the moment and how other people need to engage before it destroys us all. I don’t ever insist you read my stuff but I’d love you to read this one www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A smol boll to break up the skyline

I already evangelize about this book all the time, but You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian single-handedly pulled me out of the Sunday Scaries last night, and that deserves some kind of award. A special spotlit pedestal in libraries, at least.

Just in case anyone, like me, is scrambling to put a Nebula ballot together...

Have been looking forward to reading this for so long and it's almost here!

They say, "It's always something." But they're wrong. It's always at least thirty-five things.

Don't forget that @uncannymagazine.bsky.social's Reader Favorites Poll closes tomorrow! My story "Something Small Enough to Ask For" was out there last year -- but there's a whole lot more to discover and read :) Link: www.uncannymagazine.com/uncanny-cele...

Like a 4, and I often wish it was higher :/

Yeah, do it! And then read a few other of the amazing stories Uncanny published last year!

LA friends, if you’ve lost your home, I’m so sorry. In case it helps, here’s some stuff I wish I’d known: 1. Make detailed contemporaneous notes about every conversation you have with your insurance company.

New story! "Your Personalized Guide to the Museum of the Lost and Found" by AnaMaria Curtis! https://buff.ly/4h0vz7S

thought to myself 'I wonder if this still makes me as happy as the first time I saw it' & arguably in the wake of the engagement news it makes me more happy

I enjoyed this one a lot

😭💜 thank you @anamariacurtis.bsky.social . And your own short story in this issue is GORGEOUS and everyone should read it. I’m so honored to be in the same magazine with you.

I just read "Six People to Revise You" by @jrdawson.bsky.social in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social and holy shit is this a story I needed to read. Was genuinely tearing up by the end. Read here: www.uncannymagazine.com/article/six-...

I can VERY enthusiastically recommend the stories by @angelvleal.bsky.social @ashvalewrites.bsky.social @anamariacurtis.bsky.social - I haven’t read the others yet, but can’t wait to do so! Check out these wonderful stories, especially at the end of the year when stories slip through the cracks 🤍

Whimsical ✨ I'll take it
