Key words: hiveminds, fungi, Victorian era, trans woman, folklore, historical conceptions of queerness, at least one mad scientist, toxic(?) relationship. I hope that for some of you this is like a dog hearing "walk", "treat", "go for a drive", etc.

Chex Mix is having A Moment and I don't blame her.

I think the full realization of how many babies she has is dawning on Chex Mix 😂

keeping short fiction magazines alive is a fundamental part of keeping writing alive. Apex Magazine is a terrific venue for short fiction, flash fiction, and non fiction. if you can contribute? please do! otherwise? boost or share, please :)

Lesley Conner@lesleyconner.bsky.social · last wk.

Okay, ya'll. The Apex Magazine Kickstarter still needs another $8,637 to fund 2027 and we only have 10 days to go. I'm starting to get STRESSED! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ape...

Co-signed! That’s what libraries are for, and they do pay us! Never apologize!

Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Donate to SO MANY good babies!

Back in April I spoke with the delightful JJ Pionke about writing while disabled, AI, retrofuturism, and even tea. We had a great time and laughed a lot. Sadly, JJ passed away last month. He will be missed. Our interview is out now, and I hope you'll listen. cornerstone.lib.mnsu.edu/dislis/vol3/...

So, an update on moving: I may get the chance to stay in Seattle in the next 3 months or so. I've talked to people and they think they can get me settled to move by the time I go back to FL in December. So, if you'd like to give me an early birthday gift and help me stay out there, here you go:

I have survived planes! Seatle weather, my tue lice. I have returned to you!

Hello, I'm full of pre-flight anxiety (I leave tomorrow afternoon) so clearly I needed to purge our fridge and repack my bag 4 times.

if you're not a survivor, you need to remove "kill all abusers"from your vocabulary. survivors have identified your best friends, your classmates, your brothers, your fathers, your uncles--plenty of people close to you as abusers & you are not going to kill them. you don't even tell them to stop.
