"Do not pollute the common well." AI has done precisely that, polluted the information ecology we all live in and draw from. Think about what YouTube was like just 3 years ago. Think about what search was like 5 years ago. AI pollution is forced down every throat. mastodon.green/@Tarnport/11...

No One To Hold the Distant Dead, by @klschroeder.bsky.social (pub by @psychopomp.com), is a dark sci-fi novella that gives us a glimpse of hope. A reading that I recommend if you want to continue thinking after finishing the story. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/no-o... 💙📚

When I read this novella in submissions, I knew we had to have it. The story is dark and timely, focusing on damaged systems: bodies and planets, human and animal. We are more alike than not, every person a world being ravaged by changing climates: environmental, emotional.

Everything will eventually be worn down with time. All we can do is try our best to hold on.

Friends and friendlies on here: don't stop talking about your lives and joys. I know some folk are quiet or staying away what with *everything* but posts about cats and books and funny shaped puddles are essential to us getting through it. And shouldn't be drowned out by the fash.

this is so beautiful ❤️ congratulations El!

I'm editing a new anthology of sci fi written by sex workers for @workinggirlspress.bsky.social. It's called Liquid Silver (after the club/brothel in Tank Girl) and I'm so excited to see what my SW babes are writing!

I suppose there comes a point in every project where you pile the phone, laptop, notebook, appropriate reference books, kindle, bluetooth in a big stack and then use the nunchucks on them

when did the science folk become so fashionable? i thought we were still wearing old tshirts with jokes about glycine...

Happy Friday! May I present for your consideration: buy my book? The reasons you should do this are: it's my book, and it's very good, and it has a radish and her fox wife whom she adores and also a rock determined to live her best life even if maybe she wasn't meant to have a life to live.

love this rebuttal. seek librarians, teachers, experts -- seek humans!

I am reminded of a story I wrote

Look, storytelling is ripping off a little piece of your soul (it’s fine, souls replenish) moulding it and stretching it and twisting it into something interesting and glorious and then using that to connect to other human beings. Computers cannot do that. They will *never* be able to do that.

Honestly, if someone doesn’t want to write anymore, just *quit.* it’ll still be there if things change. But why piss it all away like that? What did they think was going to happen?

No Kickstarter updates today. Only #freepalestine. See our statement below. We invite fellow mags to join us, and acknowledge we referenced the work of @strangehorizons.bsky.social, Room Magazine, & @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social when writing our earlier statements.
