ok seriously also like...are you all looking at the accuracy stats these companies are reporting, because they are *wild* and 0 access is being given to the underlying datasets used to make their claims

I'm just gonna say: it somewhat baffles me that people who are understandably skeptical of opaque LLMs as legitimate sources of information will suddenly go full on "the computer KNOWS" when they are using opaque tools to "detect" AI. The computer does not know.

If you are an expert on air quality and have 10-15 minutes to talk to me today or tomorrow about important things journalists should know while reporting on wildfires and smoke, my DMs are open, or you can email me at karen at OpenNews dot org.

Our online release of IT WAS PARADISE is now complete, and print preorders are en route! Thanks so much to editor @soniasulaiman.bsky.social, everybody on Reckoning staff who worked long and hard to make this happen, and to ARLA for sponsoring it! What an educational experience this has been

Reckoning@reckoningmag.bsky.social · 6d ago

The very last poem from IT WAS PARADISE, our special issue on environmental justice in war and conflict edited by @soniasulaiman.bsky.social, is "Nature Knows A Little About Blooming" by Prosper C. Ìféányí. We always like to end on a high note: reckoning.press/nature-knows...

Cover art by Mónica Robles Corzo for Reckoning: It Was Paradise, a special issue on war, conflict, and environmental justice, featuring a monstrous antlered head with burning red eyes and a warhead emerging from its fanged mouth.

here's a bit of a @reckoningmag.bsky.social Odyssey tie-in (and also its own self) from issue 7: a poem about Limulus polyphemus--the horseshoe crab--by Cristina Legarda. reckoning.press/how-to-place...

How to Place an Intravenous Line | Reckoning

The Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, is not a crab at all— more an ancient, armored spider, here 500 million years. Choose the right vessel: long and straight. Choose a good insertion poin...

And today's poem at @reckoningmag.bsky.social, by Fatima E. -- "A rubāʿī for the rescued pangolin of Ravi flood." I love this one so. "a stranger’s hands became a shore: gathered him whole." reckoning.press/a-ruba%CA%BF...

The last Stelliform book I bought featured ammonite-inspired flying robots forming a union and rewilding San Francisco and it was great. So if they’re calling this their weirdest little book yet…color me intrigued

Stelliform Press@stelliform.press · 6d ago

Please help us congratulate Caleb Sierra on the publication of his novella, THE WETWORKS MIRACLE, which is out today! Truly one of the weirdest and coolest little books we've published. Pick up a copy from us or wherever books are sold. All Stelliform Press ebooks are $5 on our site!

Promotional graphic on a black background with green tree roots. Large text reads “OUT NOW,” followed by the Stelliform Press logo and “AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE.” Beside it is the green illustrated cover of THE WETWORKS MIRACLE by Caleb Sierra, featuring a many-limbed creature holding an ink well and a knife. Reviews read: “A visceral nightmare wrought with grisly precision and sickening beauty.” – E.G. Condé, author of SORDIDEZ. “A harrowing journey through a world that grows more strangely beautiful with each page.” – Cynthia Gómez, author of MUÑECA and THE NIGHTMARE BOX AND OTHER STORIES. “This book was ... entirely enthralling. I loved it.” – Sound & Fury Book Reviews.

YEAH they even got me and I had all of one story in 2022. I was not aware of this website's existence until today. what's disgusting is they are claiming to have author permissions...one of the authors whose content they have stolen died several years ago. PRETTY SURE THAT MEANS NO PERMISSION.

Beth Cato@bethcato.bsky.social · 6d ago

Hey! If you were published at Daily Science Fiction, be aware that a site called Science Fiction Weekly has stolen the entire story database & posted it on their site. All of my DSF stories are there without my permission. sciencefictionweekly.com

A plea to everyone who writes cover letters to editors: be yourself. Formal language begins to feel like the province of the soulless more than ever before, and also, I just want to know you and trust in your word, and formality shields me from that. This has been a fuck ai subtweet, thank you

The 250 year old Cottonwood tree branches once stretched across the border into Mexico before the destruction began in Lochiel. Support the land defenders and protect the borderlands from further militarization and destruction.

Max Granger@maxgranger.info · 7d ago

BREAKING: Tree sit goes up to stop border wall construction in Arizona. The action is reportedly the first tree sit in the U.S. aimed at stopping construction of a border barrier. Land defenders on the ground are asking people to show up and support.

what a nice surprise to click on a link and see my forthcoming @adventitiouswords.bsky.social story “A Hole in My Heart the Shape of the Multiverse” reviewed—and to see so much love for @reckoningmag.bsky.social, where I’m on staff! clearly Jay has excellent taste

Jay@tarvolon.bsky.social · last wk.

Guess what? I've got an *extra* short fiction review this month! I took a look at a handful of stories from Adventitious, Kaleidotrope, and Reckoning. All had stories worth reading, with Reckoning in particular standing out: www.tarvolon.com/2026/07/27/t...

This is the most beautiful thing. Reading it made me rather emotional (in a good way). Tremendously grateful to @anna-orridge.bsky.social who linked to it yesterday.

From Reckoning X, an essay on how to survive and remain creative while the world is plunged into chaos: "The Main Thing Is to Not Be Afraid: Tove Jansson, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Art in the Era of Climate Change" by Moshe Schaffzin reckoning.press/the-main-thi...

It's weird, topical, neurospicy, it's got moomins, it's by a new author, it makes connections you've never thought about, it's not like anything you've read. I'm proud to feature this quintessentially Reckoning essay in our 10th anniversary issue. Been wondering about what we publish? Start here

A fascinating essay that touches on the anxiety (and avoidance) of many of us in regards to climate change as well as valuable insight into the often stereotyped and misunderstood condition of OCD and reflections on a beloved children's book author.

Kate Schapira: "Well Put & Generalizable"@kateschapira.bsky.social · 2w ago

This exact thing happened to me the other day & it hurt my fucking feelings! Having genuine conversations w/other humans in order to do something together is *what my book is about.* If you, a human, want to talk together about my book & how to use it, I would love that so much.

Sarah J. Jackson@sjjphd.bsky.social · 2w ago

Since A Second Sight came out I've received about 2-3 of these scam emails a week. They are not only profoundly annoying but obviously prey on author's passions and attachment to their work. In some cases they impersonate real people at legit organizations.

This poem is one of the things I am proudest of writing over the course of March-Nov 2020. I've grown dahlias every year since, and think of my grandmother with every bloom. It is incredibly special to see it out in the world!
