If anybody was excited that Science Fiction Weekly is aiming to "revive" Daily Science Fiction, you should know they are straight-up lying about having gotten permission from writers to republish DSF stories on their website. (Yes, I have sent a DCMA takedown notice.)

We're getting so close to funding already! As an incentive, here is my little love letter to QUIET HOURS by Esther Alter (@esther-alter.bsky.social) that I'd love to include in this novella series if we reach that first stretch goal. It's really effective piece of queer housing horror.
Watermyth also has plus-sized main characters written by a plus-sized size-accepting author. They exist without their bodies being objectified, fetishized or part of a punchline. Just getting stuff done while angsting and trying to cope with the world going to hell in a handbasket. 🧜♀️ ☄️ 🏰

This makes me so sad and angry. What precious editorial time wasted? How many doors will close to legitimate writers? It’s heartwarming to read about the diligence and care, with which @bonabooks.bsky.social handled the situation. I’m grateful to all editors who fight this fight for all our sakes.

A great post by @mariapopova.bsky.social about the many facets of the self, which we spend a lifetime integrating. Reminded me of @aiki-mira.bsky.social talking about radical solidarity at #EasterCon. Society needs it, but so does the self. Much evil comes from externalizing internal conflict.

The immutable train-seat pattern. I think it’s the same in every country. I’m on my way to #Berlin for #Eurocon / #Metropolcon. Can’t wait! It’s my first con in Germany. It’s about time to meet people in the German SFF community because, well, I live in Germany…
I'm heading to #Eurocon #Metropolcon in Berlin this week. Haven't been to Eurocon (or Berlin) before, so I'm looking forward to the new experience.
