It’s that day we celebrate romantic love. As you may know, I have a little SF romance book out now, but I’ve written about love before. So here’s a thread of stories that show both the sweetness and the challenges of being in love. 🩷🧵

The deadlines for the Rhysling and Nebula Awards are coming up, & Hugo noms just opened! Please consider my works for the poetry categories. I'm threading my poems that are available to read for free online: ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hoping for more diverse Hugos this year? Make sure to read widely. You don’t need to look too far to find BIPOC writers. I happen to be one. You can find my eligible work here: www.pacornell.com/2025-awards-...

This story’s already been getting some great reviews. Click the link to find out if you agree with the reviewers. 🙂

IT'S HERE! We are SO thrilled to officially reveal our Issue 1 table of contents! Every single piece in this issue is unbelievably good, and we cannot wait for you to read these stories and poems in March. These authors are amazing 🪐🗡️ More details in the thread! 🧵 (1/6)

So, yes, Small Wonders has just published a brand new poem by me, "Straw Gold." Free to read here: smallwondersmag.com/piece/straw-...

Loved this! Jordan does voice and weird like no one else.

It’s my book birthday! #Booksky www.starsandsabers.com/books/shoesh...

New essay from me up at Interstellar Flight Press, about dragons and structured poetry and CT machines: magazine.interstellarflightpress.com/the-dragon-c...

If you are a Californian who doesn’t think throwing more money at OpenAI is a good use of state resources (or a useful intervention for learners in a teaching focused university system), add your voice.

So shiny! Gorgeous colors!

I didn't publish a lot in 2025, but I'm proud of what I did publish. I'd especially love it if you'd consider my poem "the jacarandas are unimpressed by your show of force" (eligible for the Nebula, Hugo, and Rhysling awards). strangehorizons.com/wordpress/po...

This was shared with me elsewhere. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/what-to-do...

I'm pleased to announce that my solarpunk/climate fiction collection, Different Kinds of Defiance, has a new cover art by Hugo finalist @dntlz.bsky.social! I can't express how happy I am with the final result. You can find the new edition in the usual places. 🔆

Thank you so much to everyone who's helped me celebrate Enchanting the Fae Queen's North American book birthday! Here's a little roundup of some of the lovely things early reviewers have already said about it. ❤️ stephanieburgis.com/books/enchanting-the-fae-queen #romancelandia

And a very happy book birthday to @jessiemihalik.com 's Silver and Blood, a lush and delicious romantasy I adored! I'm so happy to be pub-day twins. 💕 www.jessiemihalik.com/book/silver-... #romancelandia

Today! My first US publication! Not, perhaps, the best time, as I know youse have more important things to be worrying about, but so it goes

'Ignite the Spark' Create, dance, let your voice be heard. Now more than ever. Commission for the lovely @nowherebloom who we met at last years MTG Spotlight event in Liverpool. I have a soft spot for foxes #fox #foxart #illustrationart

Toronto’s not possible for me. If you can get there, though, go!

All of Beth’s books are worth reading. So get this while it’s a deal!

Here. I memed it for you so you can get the word out.

Read @angelaliu.bsky.social's “Empire State of Mind” in Frivolous Comma today. Bewitching! A little mysterious, very compelling, hopeful ending … check it out! www.frivolouscomma.com/fiction/empi...

There will be an official campaign soon, but for now, sharing the standard donation link. People in dangerous living conditions often hesitate to flee because of the logistics of helping their pets. We can’t fix it all, but we can at least give a bit of peace of mind. www.underdogpetswa.org/donate

Received a call for donations in email. Clicked “Update your preferences” on the bottom so I could select what types of emails I receive from the group in the future. That’s usually what that means. But no. I was taken to a page where I had to click to get a link emailed to me where I could update.

Inspiring? Could be worse!

And now, illustrated! (Courtesy of the wonderful @illustratedjai.bsky.social ) Braving Lightning, Sailing the Storm Back before the era of Argentum, when both Archer and Sabbat were pirates aboard the Arrow, and things went... badly saranadosfiction.com/2025/12/29/b...

...And because I could really do with something hopeful right now, how would you like some character art? :) I commissioned this character art of Lady & Lord Riven on honeymoon from Rafael Batista de la Silva, and I love so many things about it, but especially their tenderness and affection!

Hey Bluesky, could you help spread the word about my Patreon? My goal for the day is one new patron. Patrons help support my art and my existence. You'll receive positive affirmations from Felmer, etiquette advice from Mothman, & other fun posts. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature

I don't know how everyone is making their awards eligibility graphics look so nice, because this took me about an hour. Anyway, here are my awards-eligible stories from 2025.

Nebula nominations are open. It would mean a lot if you’d consider “Through the Machine.” Published in Lightspeed and featured by Gizmodo, it’s a cautionary tale of AI in the arts, using the film industry as example. Thank you for your consideration. www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/thro...

If you're writing any historical fiction set in the UK in the first half of the 20th century, I can't recommend www.1900s.org.uk enough. It's run by a retired academic who's trying to archive what life was like then for normal people, and it's got all kinds of little details you'd never make up.
