I'm just saying who can I persuade to play a TTRPG with the OTHERSIDE editors as a Kickstarter goal to offer 2-3 people 😂 (but also 👀) But also truly if you are a writer and/or editor and are interested in donating a virtual reward such as a crit or chat we'd greatly appreciate it!

I want to be buff and have muscles, but I don't like going to the gym, so I am soft and squishy. Having AI lift the weighs for me accomplishes nothing. What I like to do with my time is write and draw, so I'm good at writing and drawing. Those are the kind of weights I lift, so I am strong this way.

I might be missing something, but: I want to provide a roundup of podcasts & webinars I've done in recent months! Tomorrow, I'm going to record the @utopiaanddystopia.bsky.social podcast

When the intent of a ruling oppressive power is to starve the body and soul of its people so they can't fight back, you have to find ways to fuel the fire. It's why resistance and underground art is historically so important. But you have to not just make art, but make space for others to do it.

Thinking a lot these last few months about how Anathema and FIYAH both launched in 2017. FIYAH's still going and Anathema's relaunching this year under a new masthead. (Been on hiatus a bit.) Making art under a fascist regime can feel impossible. Can feel unimportant. But it keeps the spirit alive.

Have your ever wanted to work with Anathema? Here's your chance! The incoming co-editorial team is looking for people to take on or help out with a variety of roles in the run-up to the relaunch. See the thread for more details, and spread the word as wide as possible! :D

I'm so proud of what we built with Anathema, and so thrilled to see it resurrected with a brilliant new masthead of editors committed to continuing the mag's mission of platforming queer BIPOC spec authors and poets.

Anathema's coming back under a new masthead! The new team is a fantastic group, and if you've ever wanted to work with the mag, now's your opportunity: the incoming team is seeking additional editors in various roles. See the quoted thread, and spread the word!

Loved this mag! Can't wait to see it emerge multi-headed and victorious 💜
