I've been hard at work down in the program mines and the preliminary program for Flights of Foundry is starting to come together nicely. As of right now only 5 totally empty hours out of 60 total in the weekend, and I have no doubt those will fill.

I know a lot of y’all had stories in DSF. Do a search on their site for one of your titles, then click on your name to get the entire list, and send takedown notices as the spirit moves you.
Beth Cato@bethcato.bsky.social · 6d agoHey! If you were published at Daily Science Fiction, be aware that a site called Science Fiction Weekly has stolen the entire story database & posted it on their site. All of my DSF stories are there without my permission. sciencefictionweekly.com
The only story I would submit to these jerks is along the lines of "Once upon a time there was a shady site which crossed a bunch of SFFH writers. It did not go well for them. Take this shit down now before the internet falls on your head even more."
Alex Brown 🇵🇸 (they/them)@bookjockeyalex.bsky.social · 6d agoSometimes under the Submission page you can find contact, but here you have to have an account. So I created one. They have you paste the entire story into a form. There is no other contact option, just send your story to god-knows who. No guidelines or publication parameters.

New cast! I’m in this one for another month, but I am allowed to put any weight on it. No walking, but this is progress. I’m elevating it because it’s tighter than the last and I was swelling some, but I have a guardian.

Sami Schalk@drsamischalk.bsky.social · 2w agoPolice murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.
"Police involved fatal shooting in Madison" Every damn time. Just say the cops shot a dude in the head three times while he was on the ground and restrained. Fucking hell.
Listen? Do you hear that music? Go looking for Pan down in the holler today, with "One of Us Carries the Flute" by @jimmyfroh.bsky.social : smallwondersmag.com/piece/one-of...

What if I told you about King Midas. What if I did it three more times. What if it was queer. What if it was trans. What if it was in Small Wonders TODAY.
Small Wonders@smallwondersmag.com · 3w agoYou know the story of Midas, right? Stories shift and warp though, so let's hear that old tale a few more times. Let @elijah.mea.rs tell us how "He Washes His Sins In the River" :
Oh dang, it turns out growing bone is tiring. I slept like 11.5 hours last night and I'm half dozing today. Have to keep reminding myself that I am not actually "just sitting around" and that healing is a whole energy intensive thing. Evidently.
Gonna tell you truly: I absolutely celebrate the death of people who suck. For some, I mark the day on the calendar and get a cake every single year (I am dead (ha) serious here). If you don't want people to be joyful you're gone, be a person who makes the world a better place instead.

Imagine dying and then the whole country wakes up to have a discussion about it, but that discussion is entirely whether we are all being too generous or too cruel about it. Because absolutely no one is like "Man, I'm really gonna miss that guy." It's gotta suck to suck that bad.
