A screenshot of a Google Alerts email with the subject line “Alecto the Ninth”

A screenshot of the title of the article that was linked in the aforementioned email. It reads “Not There Yet: 7 More Exciting SFF Books Coming in 2026”

A screenshot of the second paragraph of the article with a portion of sentence highlighted that reads “And also, none of the books below are Alecto the Ninth”

One thing I liked about METAL FROM HEAVEN was referring to the fantasy communism as Hereafterism, really got at the ongoing work of societal transformation, the labor that persists generation upon generation, and the need to defend the good and ephemeral.

chimera @chimeraxmachina.bsky.social · Mar 30

I think the word communism needs to be phased out, the reputation is keeping us from appealing to liberal-minded workers and harming the movement over all. I suggest we rebrand to “Communism 2: Revelation”

Quick lil #MayDay stack for y'all! Thinking about work, about the alienation and transformation of work, of utopian principles and the vital spirit of revolution, about the possibilities of other worlds and other ways of being: principled, flawed, necessary, insistent.

A stack of SFF books (bottom to top): KALYNA THE CUTTHROAT by Elijah Kinch Spector, THE SLEEPLESS by Victor Manibo, NO GODS, NO MONSTERS by Cadwell Turnbull, THE FEALTY OF MONSTERS by Ladz, CLUB CONTANGO by Eliane Boey, THE KEEPER'S SIX by Kate Elliott, METAL FROM HEAVEN by August Clarke, and IF FOUND RETURN TO HELL by Em X. Liu. They are flanked by THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING by David Graeber and David Wengrow, OCTOBER by China Mieville, and DEBT: THE FIRST 5000 YEARS by David Graeber.

the girls from The Starving Saints based on that one twelfth night photo, you know the one 🐝

#TheStarvingSaints #art

drawing of the three women from the starving saints in the pose of that anne hathaway twelfth night meme. A butch woman with light tan skin in the middle, head to the side being kissed by a blonde woman with a bleeding ear who is holding a sword. a sickly looking woman with short dark hair is resting her face on the back of the middle woman's shoulder and holding her hand around the sword, with honey dripping from it. each has a bee on them, and their heads have yellow halos behind them. the art is a sketchy style and muted red/browns and bright yellow.

Presumably Israel will tell us that Maryam Abu Daqqa was a Hamas commander too.

According to Brown University’s Cost of War Project, “The war in Gaza has, since October 7, 2023, killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined.”

Bluesky silenced trans voices over J.K. Rowling, here’s why

Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire.

today a UN body announced famine is in Gaza. this oped from New Disabled South connects US funding of Israel's starvation campaign to Trump's BBB cutting SNAP as fundamentally American.

"The U.S. allegedly has no money to feed its children or the world’s children, but has plenty of money for war."

From Famine in Gaza to Trump Cutting SNAP, Child Hunger is An American Pastime

"At home and abroad, the U.S. government is participating in starving people, particularly children, and calling it policy."

God. God. God. Anas al-Sharif was one of the best humans this world has ever produced. So kind, so brave, so relentless. The occupation has killed so many of his relatives and tried so hard to kill him, and they finally fucking did it, and he kept reporting right up until his last breath.

Anas Al-Sharif holding his young daughter and infant son, all of them standing in front of rubble yet smiling.

Anas's final message, shortly before he was murdered:

A To Whom It May Concern, The occupation is now openly threatening a full-scale invasion of Gaza.
For 22 months, the city has been bleeding under relentless
bombardment from land, sea, and air.
Tens of thousands have been killed, and hundreds of thousands wounded.
If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people's voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.
Please share this message and tag everyone who has the power to help end this massacre. Silence is complicity.

I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“

"Multitude of Factors" was mentioned 13 times on the Courage press call. I asked if players were among those multitude of factors and if they were notified of the decision. Question was If not How --"We're not going to discuss internal process in terms of how players were informed in the situation."
