My list of memorable short stories is very long but the one that's been with me the longest is "The One Who Waits" by Ray Bradbury.
Harare Review of Books@hararereview.com · 19h agoWhat's the most memorable short story you've ever read?
Trying to watch Yaga but I want to kick Rapp into the sun after 1 1/2 episodes so not sure if I can stick with it.
Dolores Huerta leaves behind 13 surviving children, 24 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren. Throughout her life, she was arrested 22 times while fighting for civil rights and the rights of farmworkers.
Yashar Ali 🐘@yasharali.bsky.social · 22h ago1. We have lost a giant. Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers, a legendary civil rights leader, and one of the most consequential labor leaders of the past century, has died at 96.
You do not need to import horrible Star Wars takes from X, The Everything Site. We can develop our own horrible Star Wars takes here. We have the technology.
I’ve been sculpting for 25 yrs, 14 fulltime. I had just started to take off when the economy declined. My art is all I know. There is no other job for me even if I wanted one. I support myself, my disabled partner and our 5 birds on my income. Please help a human artist stay afloat. 💜🎨🐉

Kai is a brilliant writer. I can't wait to read this.
Maria Haskins@mariahaskins.com · 23h agoReading this book and it is MESSING ME UP in the best way imaginable. The dialogue? Pure fire. The world? Fantasy pulled like shimmery silk over the silvery bones of science fiction. I want to devour this book but the language makes me slow down and savour it. (Also: it's freaking hilarious.)

Maria Haskins@mariahaskins.com · 2w agoI'm reading an ARC of THE FALL OF ELVENESSE by Kai Ashante Wilson and I am still delirious that I got a crack at reading this book early. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
Folks, Apex still needs $3500 to fund a whole year of paying writers and artists, and they only have 3 more days to raise it. Please boost and help if you can! Good, independent arts venues are a jewel beyond price right now!
Lesley Conner@lesleyconner.bsky.social · 3d agoWe're in the final 4 days of the Apex Magazine 2021 Kickstarter and we're $4,393 away from our initial funding goal. The time is now! Let's hit our goal and fund Apex for 2027! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ape...
Since we're on a political high, let me add: doomer mentality is what makes far right movements thrive. Our turn around in Brasil was largely in part to keeping a positive mentality and refusing to see everything as hopeless. Killing cynicism in you kills fertile ground for fascism.
Julie Dillon@juliedillon.bsky.social · 2d agoIf someone posts about something good in the world, you don’t have to respond with a snide/doomer comment about how the good thing will eventually be ruined by bad people. You don’t have to go through life looking at good things through the lens of the worst people you can think of.

I keep being told that 'you cannot put the genie back in the bottle' but I am pretty sure you can put the genie back in the bottle as that is where the genie lives most of the time.
If there’s anything that’ll push me into walking away from Writer Beware, the unbelievable flood of AI scams and related garbage that is overwhelming my inbox is what’ll do it
Victoria Strauss@victoriastrauss.com · 2d agoThis is fascinating, because it’s also happening to me (Writer Beware): emails saying a chatbot suggested the person contact me about a suspected scam or scam reports that have obviously been put together by ChatGPT. Or both.
PSYCHOPOMP & CIRCUMSTANCE won the World Fantasy Award for Best Long Fiction! Congratulations to all the finalists and winners! I’m honored to share this space with you. Enormous thanks to @audthentic.bsky.social for accepting this award on my behalf and reading my acceptance speech so beautifully.
It's Asexual Awareness & Acceptance Week! So... hi! I'm an ace author who lives in the woods. Asexuality isn't a lack of joy; I just find joy elsewhere. I love Horror, and Fantasy, and kaiju, and puns, and most of all: books. Do y’all like books?

Given that @file770.bsky.social has decided to platform Jon Del Arroz, I will no longer be writing pieces for them. It's an easy equation. A place that welcomes someone that has harassed me for years is not a place I want to be associated with. file770.com/world-fantas...

the authorsdaily dot com scam appears to be to slopersonate real writers in this way in order to create an aura of legitimacy that might encourage self-publishing writers to submit work for their "indie award" ($200+ entry fee)
Jordan Kurella De Vil@jordankurella.com · 3d agohey all i dont know what authorsdaily dot com is? but they have an "Interview" with me posted that i - never gave - is full of lies - has my wrong pronouns - is full of things i dont do - or would never say? so i emailed them and told them to take it down but jfc, i am tired
