The survey is open to non-members (I am not one) and to readers (who here is not &c.) so I encourage you to share your feelings on the matter. Don't assume that everyone already understands that AI is bad or why! I mean, people *should*, but you could say that about a lot of things.
SFWA members and general SFF community:
In this press release, our Board of Directors apologizes for recent events.
Feedback from writers is strongly welcomed in the survey.
SFWA Members: Write to [email protected] to support our Emerging Tech Committee.

Some new pics of Mars from ESA's Mars Express have been processed by @andrealuck.bsky.social, including this one showing its moon Phobos hanging in space over the planet surface.
It's absurdly sci-fi looking, so I added a Star Destroyer and 80s starfield.

A Pteranodon longiceps just messing around in the water. This sub-adult’s crest is not yet as large or as brightly coloured as those of more mature individuals.

Call me Polytron, because when I figure out who keeps pulling stock from the warehouse without leaving even a note, I'm going to reduce them to a soup-like homogenate 🥣

Can I get some recommendations for good organizations to donate to to support trans/gender nonconforming youth?
I've been giving to local groups this year, but I want to find a more national group to give 100% of the proceeds from this print:

A hill on which I will die: Calvin and Hobbes is one of the great pieces of 20th-century American literature in no small part because it was never turned into anything aside from a comic strip. Leave it be.

Leading lines are powerful in compositions. Notice how so many shapes lead the eye deep into this scene.

Removing your head and neck, and then replacing them with a gigantic armoured radome, will free you of those pesky critical hits.
Not sure why I put a clavicle mounted sensor array in there given that my mechs, by-and-large, never seem to have eyes.
