Thought I'd best do an intro, since people seem to do that...
I'm Em (they/them), probably mostly here as a writer of sad, slightly strange, queer and genderqueer sff. I also heard there's some great DS9 chat around...
Here's a picture of me looking somewhat hungover and in an awful mood 😄

At Brighton, me and @stewarthotston.com brewed up and idea. There are a lot of left-leaning people in the SFFH writing community. So we thought maybe we should talk to each other and share ideas. Want to join us? 👇🏻

Yay! I picked this up at the launch event at the weekend and I am very much looking forward to diving in
It's officially launch day for Blood In The Bricks! It's folk horror, but right here in our towns and cities, written by some of my absolute favourite contemporary writers. Get it now (or They'll pay you a visit).

The "Great Forgetting" is in full steam. The pandemic has generated so much unresolved trauma and fallout that collectively society is just trying to purge or rewrite that it even happened.
How the FUCK does any article about this get away with not even mentioning the words 'long' or 'COVID'?

I think that education could use more philosophy instruction. Now that facts are a fingertip away, we need more work on ideas, historical thought, how to frame ideas, how to debate with intent to learn (not win--that's law), how to think.
