I realize I'm biased here, but I think a number of people in the speculative short fiction and poetry fields are doing AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL work just now.
Let's celebrate that - financially, if we can!

This is very sad news, but I am glad to see that The Deadlands will continue.
Read this and then: support the zines and publishers you love. It is tough, rough times for small publishers and zines. Do what you can to help them continue their good work.

“The Death of Mountains” is a book that sticks with you.
Worth considering for the coming awards season.

Story day!! I’m so delighted to debut in @unchartedmag.bsky.social with ‘Love Story in Colored Glass:’ an inter-dimensional love story about a starship that breaks reality - and a pair of lovers who find themselves, again and again, across the fracture.

I published some pieces I'm deeply proud of this year. My second novel, one of my most personal novelettes, one of my weirdest short stories, and an essay on an idea that's been nagging me for years.

Honestly after ten years(!!) of Republican “I haven’t seen that tweet” to have AOC say “you’re just informing me of that right now, [but here’s what I have to say in light of that information]” is so fucking refreshing
AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
