These guys are vultures. I've had two separate groups contact me to try to buy my outcome in this settlement, and ESPECIALLY AT THIS JUNCTURE, where we have a final settlement date, PLEASE consider literally anything except selling your claim.

@victoriastrauss.com This is the email from one of the shark companies trying to coerce authors who have a claim in the #anthropic case to sell their claim. Is this even legal? The company name 'Trained on You' is not ominous at all. 😬

ICYMI - my Hugo acceptance speech is now available on my website (video & transcript) dianampho.com/my-2026-hugo... Thank you so much for the many people who had reached out in response; I'm truly glad these words have truly resonated!

It’s the day after, and the sound of erupting cheers for Elis Montgomery winning Best Poem still fills me with joy. May this be the energy next year. May this be the energy after 2029. May speculative poetry remain a beacon star in the constellation of our genre, forever and always.

Waiting for my flight and still processing a wonderful WorldCon. Congrats again to all the winners and nominees. I feel so rich being in community with you all ❤️✨ FYI, my acceptance speech starts at 1:58:00! www.youtube.com/live/8AyarB0... I'll post a transcript when I get settled back home. ✈️

We might reach 90% funded today. I’m truly so grateful for each and every one of you who has shared and supported this book of Palestinian fantasy, science fiction, and horror. www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

Update 4: 89% there! Time to talk stretch goals… · Thyme Travellers 2

Your support means a lot to me. The story for this project, and the small community of Palestinian writers of fantasy, science fiction, and horror… truly, this series would be much harder to put toget...
