Kaleidotrope@kaleidotrope.bsky.social · 2w agoThere's a new issue of Kaleidotrope today!
Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:
@vauhinivara.bsky.social captures something I’ve been thinking about a lot. Large language model chatbots seem dystopic because of their vague but strangely intimate voice, an authorless everyman, no one and everyone all at once. Designed to be your best friend, collaborator, mirror.

The time has come for me to join the world of short form content. I'll be posting on books and ideas that have left an impression on me, my life as an author and doctoral student, and work on my first novel!

A PhD-level expert isn’t someone who can answer any question off the top of their head. A PhD-level expert is someone who will stare at some piece of information, say, “that doesn’t seem right,” and then spend enormous amounts of time obsessively hunting down every piece of information they can…

My short story debut, "She Was the Universe," is in this collection, along with many other great Metaphorosis stories by educators!
Metaphorosis Publishing@metaphorosis.com · 2y agoStories by Educators Perhaps it's no surprise that SFF draws authors who explain complex ideas for a living. In any case, a goodly number of our authors are also educators. We published a set of their stories in The Speculative Teachers' Lounge, the fourth in our Library Collection set. Below are…
Imagine a world where you never learned or tried anything new, you just kept pushing the button for another pellet like a rat.
Ian Martin@ianmartin.bsky.social · 2y ago"Imagine a world in which an A.I. can analyze your reading patterns and alert you that you’re about to buy a book where there’s only a 10 percent chance you’ll get past Page 6..." Fuck off. That's not empowerment, that's outsourcing your soul. That's outsouling. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/o...
Time to be blunt. With the disintegration of trad social media, AI BS, & the constant stream of distracting bad news, it is harder than ever to get readers for SFF magazines. If what we do is important to you, please boost our posts wherever you see them. ❤️🦄

Enter the curator
Nine years ago, on 1 January 2016, Metaphorosis published its first* story, "The Demon in the Page" by Joshua Philip Johnson. About a month ago, we published our last, "This is My City and I am Her Song" by Suzanne J. Willis. Each is an example of the style and lyricism we strove for across the nine years between.

Happy to announce that a story I’ve been cooking for a while now just got picked up by @kaleidotrope.bsky.social! Earlier this year, I finished a 100+ hour TV show. The 15-pager “A Brief History of the Doorway Program” is mostly what came of that…
I feel like I’m always nostalgic for two years ago.
Have you ever wondered how to make a job-stealing A.I. understand what it's writing? Like, really understand? Check out my latest story, MR. ZEITGEIST, with art by Alfred Klosterman, in Issue 147 of Space & Time Magazine! Available on Amazon:
