I've just conducted a fantastic interview with Alyssa Winans @alawinans.bsky.social! Look out for her answers in the next issue of @utopiascifi.bsky.social. It's a must read for the speculative artists out there. #art #sciencefiction

Had my covid/flu vaccine combo yesterday at around noon...felt pretty awful last night, but I took some Tylenol (haha) and slept through the night. Much better today, but now it's raining like crazy out there and I just want to go back to bed.

🌧️ It's a chilly, rainy day in Denver with a high stuck in the mid-50s. Showers this AM before steadier, heavier rain this afternoon. 1"+ of rain possible in Denver before it ends tonight. ☀️ Drying out and warming back up near 70° tomorrow, warm/dry rest of the week. #COwx

Writers, just a general reminder, if you get a note from a top journal to send more work, *send more work* and include a note in the next submission! (This also counts as a note to self.)

Meanwhile, in Colorado.....

I'm making this tonight...it's awesome. I made it a few weeks ago when my sister was visiting and she loved it too. It's perfect for those with gardens that are producing tons of tomatoes and basil right now...like mine. BTW, you don't need to use a slow cooker. It can be made on the stove top.

Here we go...fall is arriving.

How wonderful! Signed copies are such a treasure. It's like holding a piece of the author’s heart. For those who didn’t win, remember, every book is a new adventure waiting to unfold. Keep reading! #BookSky #historicalfiction

1/ RFK Jr. promised to “find the cause of autism” by September. Well, it’s September—and as many of you may have heard, word is his report drops today (or this week). It's rumored he will announce that #Tylenol "causes" autism along with a few other possibilities, so let's see what the studies say👇

Dear #scifi and #sffh fans and writers. My friend and colleague @jamesmachell.bsky.social has just joined BlueSky. Give him a follow!

Very proud to have been a part of this!

I have been in northern Virginia for 2 weeks...heading home to Colorado tomorrow! Today is laundry and cleaning and shutting the house down...the weather has been pretty nice while I've been here, but I'm looking forward to the beginning of fall once I get back.

That's awesome news. Congratulations, Lynne!

Thank you, Governor Polis! All Coloradans will now be able to get a COVID vaccine without a prescription. The health department is working to ensure insurance will cover it as well. 👍

These were probably taken anywhere from 10-20 years ago. Just making sure we have something to look forward to

Big thanks to our 3000th subscriber!

We're looking to interview another artist for our December issue. We've had Steven Youll, Chris Moore, and John Picacio in the past. Any suggestions for who we should speak to next? #sciencefiction #art

Finished my step challenge for August with 7 hours to spare! And what did I immediately do? Yes: signed up for another one in September. The problem is there is one less day next month, so I'm going to have to stay on top of my step count a little better this time.

Submissions are open, but say you're in detention. Forget why you're there, we know what you've done. The point is you're breaking out. You've a gem to submit to Gone Lawn and the time is now. Do it! We're waiting just for you. gonelawn.net/journal/glj_...

Why oh why did I sign up for the 300K step challenge this month? I need another 17,000 steps by tomorrow night to reach that goal...but I don't want to do 17K in one day. Which means I probably need a few more steps today. Or a lot more, actually. Okay...here we go!

I've had family visiting all week and have been out of the news loop - it's been nice! Just checking in here today shows me what a good choice it was to not pay attention for awhile. Plus, it was really great spending time with my sister and niece and brother-in-law. 😀

Just watched this entire statement from the governor of Illinois...well worth 15 minutes of your time:

The reviews are in on our latest issue and we're very pleased with how well our stories are being received. Read the full review here: tangentonline.com/e-market-qua...

I *think* I'm ready for the second set of houseguests this month, arriving tomorrow - we have a great setup for guests, so I'm glad people are taking advantage of that and visiting us. The weather is cooperating too! Highs in the 70s this week...no more 99+ days like last week.
