These people are just sick.
The same mentality that sabotaged the release of the hostages in Iran for political purposes...how can any of them just destroy people's lives this way and there are no consequences?

This is a hugely important thread for anyone looking to sell short SFF. (For those not following along, Asimov/Analog/F&SF, which were some of the top magazines in the space, were all bought by a company who's trying to push some shady shit in their contracts.)

Props to Benjamin for sharing the details of his contract. Unfortunately no props to MRM because there's a lot of extremely outre stuff in here that I'd refuse to sign. Let's run it down. (Context: If you're negotiating a contract with Strange Horizons, I'm the person you're negotiating with.)

New neuroscience short story forthcoming in @analogsf.bsky.social! Which also means a story of - ultimately successful - negotiations with their new publisher.

Includes full final text of my contract for all to use while they finish rewriting their boilerplate.

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN.

It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes.

Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice.

Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

House Republicans just adjourned another pro forma session.

This marks the SIXTH time they’ve refused to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
