Troubling stat shared during this morning's Convocation. Time to get to work. #education #communitycollege #communitycollegesrule

Sounds awesome. Pinning to read later. ;)

I have found myself on the virtual faculty at the 2026 Sandia Starforgers Writers Retreat for SFFH writers! Come hang out? The event includes 5,000-word critiques, classes, pitching sessions, 1:1 office hours, and plenty of time for writing. Learn more at starforgers.com.

"...the risk of "emboldened" claimants forcing enormous settlements will chill investments in AI." Such broken logic. Profiting off stolen intellectual property is and should continue to be illegal, full stop.

Climate change is a hoax.

📣 Calling all SFF writers... We're now OPEN for submissions of 🌟 Short fiction 🌟 Flash fiction 🌟 Poetry for Augur Issues 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3, AND @talesfeathers.bsky.social Vol 5! Got a sci-fi, fantasy, dystopian, slipstream, or a slice of life story that feels like a warm hug? We want it! 🐉🧚

Another troubling example.

Calling all writers of Science Fiction, Fantasy and More: Submissions are open for August’s #SciFanSat issue until 08.21.2025 at scifansat.com/landing.html! Our theme this month is… CREATION! #SFF #AmWritingScifi #AmWritingFantasy #WritingPrompts

I expect us to see more stories like this. Tools only help you work more quickly if results are reliable and reproducible. LLMs are still far short of this standard in many cases.

This Story Hour, a favorite returns and a new favorite makes her debut! Douglas Gwilym reads for us once more, and we welcome Mar Vincent for the first time. Unmissable! Join us Wednesday, July 30 at 7:00 PDT! #Booksky @douglasgwilym.bsky.social @marofthebooks.bsky.social www.storyhour2020.com

"What the Crab Apple Tree Near Miranda Spaceport Saw" is free to read today!!

Moke sighting in SPI.

Great post on the importance of persistance. 👇👇👇

🧵 Awesome thread about a joke with a punchline discovered six decades later. Thx @opalescentopal.bsky.social for sharing. 👇👇👇

We must work collectively to fight corporate overreach wherever we find it. Sign the petition to convince them to end these censorship policies.

"Sunnyside Daycare Employee's Chat Log, Post Alien Takeover" by Amanda Helms provides exactly what it says on the tin, with perfect comedic timing. Check it out in our first issue: smallwondersmag.com/...

Awesome thought for the day. ;)

Nauseating. The sense of privilege and tone deafness demonstrated by a move like this is breathtaking. $$ > authors' rights, I guess.

🔥🔥💪💪

July speculative flash roundup out today!

Or watch MetaStellar editors Maria and Emma tell you about today's top five FREE Amazon sci-fi and fantasy bestsellers on our YouTube channel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSIG...

Yet. Another. Fake. Literary. Agency: Writers Literary. Among other things, totally false claims about authors and books repped, and images of supposed staff are stock photos. They're sending out fake publishing offers to writers writersliterary.com

👀 We know we said we'd be open in the Fall... But Augur Magazine and @talesfeathers.bsky.social subs are opening on AUGUST 1!!! Peep the subs guidelines ✨ now ✨ 🔗 Link for more info: augursociety.org/submissions/

Over the past few months, we've noticed a new echelon forming of super artsy indie cool magazines that publish particularly beautiful chaos. Their communities are strong and their editors are savvy as hell. Allow us to introduce you to some of them🖤

"But for me, the story will always be about lifting my mask and saying, 'This is my life. This is who I am.'" ⭐♾️ @jasonsanford.bsky.social has a great post on @scalzi.com's blog! Taking off my social media manager hat for a moment: to my fellow neurodiverse writers, I promise this is a must-read! 🖤

Inaccurate information is a prime concern, but the FDA (and many others) are ignoring the fact that all LLM models blackmail, despite prompt warnings and other preventions. Many organizations and users are in for a reckoning. I just pray no one gets hurt in the process. More info:

From Substack: This is the way. Maybe the only way?

I've said it recently too. And if it is a bubble, sooner or later there'll a crash. Fingers crossed it's not on the scale of 2008.

100% this

Sympathy for this author. Scammers suck.

The clock is ticking. 👇👇👇

Any piece on AI that contains the line "Listen here, my good bitch." is worth a read in my book. 👇👇👇

💪💪💪 So happy and reassured there are some like you gang who stand their ground against these AI companies. We need more folks to follow your example.

We did it! We hit our Kickstarter funding goal in exactly 1 week! I'm not sure we ever did that before! Woo Hoo! A moment to celebrate and then 22 more days build for stretch goals including more stories and maybe some illustrations. Join us: go.dfstory.com/open-channel

Color me intrigued. Tagging to read this later.

Like PBS or NPR, Uncanny Magazine needs READERS LIKE YOU to exist. We don't try to make money with exploitive contracts or by selling content to AI companies. YOU make Uncanny happen, Space Unicorns! Because of YOU, everybody, everywhere, can read Uncanny! buff.ly/cU4kQIq
