If anyone uses Stripe to get payments, go to your Settings (Gear icon) > Plans and Fees > Radar (View plan details) > View Plans > Scroll to "More Options" and select "Lite" I want none of the money I earn to go to AI if I can help it.

nice, now Stripe is auto-opting people into a nickel charge per transaction for "AI-enhanced" protection shit they never asked for you can change it back to their free "Lite" version, but the fact that it's opt-out by default is so fucking annoying

Our last two titles for 2026, feminist speculative drama FRUITS OF OUR LABOR by Ian Patterson and cozy folk horror LIGHT & EARTH & MARROW by Jeannie Marschall, are coming up in August and September. I designed a couple of ads for them for Locus Magazine, which I’m quite proud of!

If the world can change this much by listening to one woman, imagine what would happen if it listened to all of them. In a near-future America where women have just achieved asexual reproduction, three converging perspectives tell the story of a profound societal transformation. “Patterson writes the future with the weight of history behind every page.” –S.J.

In this cozy horror novella, hedge witch Tilly Reinicke tries to guide her new neighbors, the Bells, to respect the paranormal world around them as they build their new home. But the Bells’ unbelief in—and contempt for—the super­natural threatens everyone, for the Others do not suffer disrespect lightly… and soon they will walk the Paths again. “My jaw DROPPED at that climax.” –NetGalley review 10% off with code LOCUS26 Pre-order Now!

This feels grimly accurate. I think for most people, engagement with the party feels like getting on Temu’s mailing list: Just a neverending stream of spam asking for cash and no other meaningful call to be part of anything that might generate any sense of identity or community.
