Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach. If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.

it’s gorgeous!! 😍

I told y'all had something exciting coming out today! In Reckoning's first decade, we have been lucky to publish beautiful poetry, prose, and art by neurodivergent creators. I hope they (and everyone else) understand how important they are. Our world would be dimmer without these unique voices.

Kicking off my birthday month with some exciting news the day after tomorrow. I have moths in my belly, also in my head. 🦋🦋🦋*Wink, wink, nudge, nudge* @reckoningmag.bsky.social. Also, I am annoyed to find that we do not have a moth emoji.

I could NOT be more excited for a sequel. FRIENDS you have just enough time to order @boriscrito.bsky.social EG Condé's Sordidez from @stelliform.press. You won't be **ready for this greatness, but you can at least prepare.

Leah Andelsmith's Reckoning 8 story "Within the Seed Lives the Fruit", a heartwrenching story about living with the land, is up for a WSFA Small Press Award this weekend, so I'll be at @capclave.bsky.social in DC, representing @reckoningmag.bsky.social: capclave.org/capclave25/

I'm really looking forward to reading this book! So many writers I admire have essays in it, and I can't wait to read their wisdom about how to deal with *gestures broadly at everything* and keep going. ❤️

When I share news of something terrible, here & in person, I try to *also* share a way to reduce its impact, build an alternative &/or stymie its causes. This is a practice for me, creating mental grooves of agency rather than helplessness & an offering for whoever I'm talking with: they too can act

Here is a list of mutual aid resources (& the people who maintain them, if you want to join in) around the Twin Cities if you think that everyone should be able to eat & get clean & live w/dignity tcmap.org/resources/

Big name Democrats need to rebut, in stern and strong terms, the bogus pretext Republicans are using to drum up violence against the left. They need to do it now, loudly and repeatedly.

My only excuse for missing @locusmag.bsky.social's review featuring @slharris.bsky.social "The Pelican in its Piety," Jacqueline Roberti's "New Niches," & E.L.

New flash fiction online today @reckoningmag.bsky.social ! “To Plant an Oak in Sand” is about rewilding a lawn. Which you should most certainly consider if you have one. Also…feelings. And oak trees 🌳 #solarpunk, maybe? Certainly #climatefiction reckoning.press/to-plant-an-...

If I'm not mistaken, and not for no reason!, this is the second issue of @reckoningmag.bsky.social which has closed with words from @tkrex.bsky.social

Speaking of killer first sentences. "Arthur Corey owns a small house in Port Charlotte, Florida. It’s bright lemon yellow, with a lawn he’s trying to kill, and a carport with no car, where a glass table gathers bong ash in the shade of seagrapes." reckoning.press/to-plant-an-...

Free to read today at @reckoningmag.bsky.social : new short work by the inimitable @tkrex.bsky.social

"it fits a tech industry playbook to grow a business first and later pay a relatively small fine...for breaking the rules...Anthropic (is valued) at $183 billion." It's what I suspected: Anthropic did the maths on how many authors have registered copyright (only 500k out of the 7M titles stolen)

Make your art. Even if it's not directly super gay rainbow chalk (but it *could* be super gay rainbow chalk and that would be most excellent), make your art. Including the art of words. Fascists hate that shit.

New today from Reckoning 9--only one left after this!--"Seeded, home", an SF poem by August Cao recollecting grocery store abundance, once taken for granted, from aboard a generation ship. "The next apple I eat I shall swallow." reckoning.press/seeded-home/
