Writer. I've never killed anybody. Repped by @StevieFinegan https://www.mario-coelho.com/
'Unto the Godless What Little Remains', whose author is incredibly attractive and recently achieved one-armed pull ups, basically predicted ChatGPT and all this shittery with AI. The author is a genius. I wish I knew him.
It's here! We're having a Spring Cleaning sale on our website where you can snap up signed special editions, hard-to-get hardbacks & more! Ft @derekkunsken.bsky.social @csecooney.bsky.social @koldholdt.bsky.social @waynesantos.bsky.social @mariocoelho.bsky.social 👉 https://geni.us/Solarissale
If you ever feel discouraged as a writer, think of the time I got a vaguely threatening, negative personal rejection from a transgressive lit magazine.
It's out and beautifully done <3. Support your local dead billionaire.
New podcast episode! @mariocoelho.bsky.social's "We Will Not Dream of Corals" is a deeply satisfying story about symbiotic coral polyps joining forces with humans to defeat billionaires and save the world. Narrated by @bernie-jsyk.bsky.social, produced by Aaron Kling reckoning.press/podcast-epis...
I've been yapping about this for years. The whole rest of the world reads translated fiction on the regular. The Hugos *really* need this category.
Hello, Bluesky! This is a weird day to go live with this project, but: this is an initiative to add a Translated Speculative Fiction category to the Hugo Awards. If you are a fan of global SF, and want to put some more "World" in "Worldcon", check out our site! Lots more to come. translatedhugo.org
I've been lurking on an AI "writing" subreddit. Caught this gem yesterday.
💾 New from me: i interviewed @cara.city about the Telnet literary zine New Session, rejecting algorithms & AI brainrot, and the return of what i’m calling the Slow Internet 🐢 🖥️
This Queer Online Zine Can Only Be Read Via an Ancient Internet Protocol
New Session publishes poetry via Telnet, rejecting the internet’s fast-paced enshittification.

american citizens will be so overjoyed with the ability to say slurs at work that they will no longer need to consume food nor purchase consumer goods

As the world seemed to shift and break around all of us, I found myself drawn to stories about rage, resistance, resilience, and even a bit of love. In “Tell Them a Story to Teach Them Kindness” in…

Unfortunately, I've been absent for the past week, but please go check out this wonderfully cathartic story.
This story was inspired by my passion for dead billionaires. Free Luigi.

"Based on this information, I cannot consider myself a Hugo winner and will not be citing the 2023 award result in my biographical details, or on this site." Adrian Tchaikovsky is a true chad. Source: adriantchaikovsky.com
Huge, huge respect to Samantha Mills. The Hugos apparently excluding Chinese-language novels is even worse than the other censorship shenanigans. Really hammers home the idea that it's an award by Anglo authors, to Anglo authors. Anglocon, not Worldcon, I guess.
My thoughts on not really winning a Hugo. (Apologies for a long summary of much-repeated detail, this is my record for myself as much as anybody else. Feel free to correct me if I got anything royally wrong.) samtasticbooks.com/2024/02/17/r...
'Burn You the Fuck Alive' by B.R Yeager was as brilliant as I was expecting. Yeager writes the horror of the human body* like nobody else does, or dares to. *Not to be confused with body horror, which there's also loads of here.
