Happy birthday among the stars to the patron saint of us all, the great Octavia Butler.

I check the ticket. Overnight to Krakow. Sleeper, private compartment for two. "Hurry up!" My fiancé leads the way. "Wait, the train station is the other-" "We're here." It used to be an empty plot. Now it's full of small houses. My fiancé grins and points to a sign: "Baba Yaga Travels"

I was glad to give a talk again this year at #sferakon, Croatia's oldest science fiction convention and one of the largest in Central Europe (organized by @sferazg.bsky.social) Thank you to everyone who attended my talk on #AI, cybercrime, and how we can protect ourselves. #SFeraKon2026

I drugi put! Pozdrav od volontera i stolonosaca! Ovdje smo vrijedni šljakerski odred ulovili u spontanoj organizaciji grupne fotke između svih zadataka koji su ih zatrpavali. #SFeraKon počiva na njihovim ramenima 💪😄

#SFeraKon! #DruštvoSFera slavi 50 godina! I dodjela nagrada na Svečanoj skupštini

Nakon svih gužvi, nismo popratili što se sve događalo prva dva dana SFeraKona. #SFeraKon? O, da, traje već dva dana 😱

Happy Birthday, Sir Attenborough!

One little robot sat on rock, And start watching the grass grow, It looked quite relaxed, so slow, So he matched his inner clock 🤖

#SFeraKon ante portas! Brojimo sitno, još dva dana! Detalji na www.sferakon.org

As far as I know no other organization does it the way Worldcon does because a) Worldcon is fundamentally a fan organization, not a guild or governing body, b) it's a really janky way to run things and no one today would set out to do it this way. This is what organic fandom development looks like.

Vader: Obi Wan never told you... Luke: Yeah , dad, I got it! Obi Wan never told me about you, mom, sis... Like YOU ever gave me a hand. Get it? Hand? Vader: I find your lack of... Luke: Nope, not interested, I'm off for a tauntaun ride. Vader: I AM YOUR FATHER! Vader:*heavy breathing* (1/x)

@emmanewman.bsky.social I came across this image earlier and immediately thought to share this with you in the very small chance you haven't seen it already. 😁

My latest books cartoon for the @theguardian.com

There were uncountable books in the library, none of which I knew. I picked one at random and read the blurb. "A cosy fantasy?" "Yes," said my host. I picked another. "Cosy mystery?" "Yes." "Are all your books cosy?" Cthulhu shrugged. "If you'd seen what I've seen, you'd want comfort too."

Here's my tour info for Platform Decay!

Slagalica znana kao #SFeraKonskiProgram je gotova! sferakon.org/program/ Tko, što, kada, gdje? Tu su odgovori na sva pitanja!

Not a word to the M-Shed Museum in Bristol, they are probably wondering where it has gone.

Yf thys skeet doth receive 3,000 reposts then the Tolkien Estate will sue Palantir.

I have the bestest friends ❤️

FOLKS!!!! @naomialderman.bsky.social has bought Zombies, Run! Yes, the old app a bunch of us used to all exercise together to and do our mini events is back in her hands! Small thing, though. The banks apparently were empty 👀 So there's a couple of things to do to help out (mini thread)

Svim autorim koji bi željeli pretresti svoje pisanje s drugim autorima, uz uzajamnu konstruktivnu kritiku, #ProgramSFeraKona nudi literarnu radionicu u Milford stilu (grčko-rimski i slobodni po nahođenju) Što je potrebno? Prijaviti se unaprijed s prvim draftom: sferakon.org/2026/izvod-i...

There was a faint puff of smoke from the bottle, and a small genie appeared. "You have freed me," it said, "so I'm obliged to grant you a wish." It hesitated. "But I am not very powerful." I nodded. "Of all things I need, give me the greatest you can." Suddenly, I held a large mug of hot cocoa.

Ima li života utorkom u travnju? Ima - zatrpan je SFeraKonskim sastancima, pa se #ŽivotSamoUtorkom odvija ispod žita, pod prozorom,u kutu... #DruštvoSFers i dalje priča o SFu i zanimljivim stvarima, ali bez službenog programa. Zato van utoraka ima i previše života! (1/3) sfera.hr/2026/program...

The Yeongno, is a Korean mythical creature known as a "celestial eater of the rich," this dragon-like monster seeks to consume 100 corrupt politicians, the wealthy, the powerful, etc in order to return to heaven. A cathartic symbol of social justice.

This morning, NASA sent up a message recorded by Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell before his death:

It's a little known fact that tiny koalas love to read. Get your own tiny koala at the Brisbane in 2028 Worldcon bid table at Eastercon in Birmingham. #Eastercon #Birmingham #Brisbane2028

Happy oviparous-lagomorph-on-a-stick day! And may your eventual AI upload simulation afterlife be glitch- and basilisk-free. (Trying to cover all the post-Christian bases here.)
