Congratulations to all 750+ writers who had the perseverance to complete a story and the courage to submit it. @thebulletin.org it's good practice to show respect for those who share their work with you (even if the editorial task can feel onerous at times!)

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists@thebulletin.org · 8mo ago

The Bulletin’s mission—protecting civilization from manmade existential threats like nuclear weapons and climate change—is important, says Bulletin Editor-in-Chief John Mecklin. "Filling civilization with art and the humanity it fosters is important, too." See the winners of our fiction contest ⬇️

31 Dec: On the cusp of a New Year, nature carries its promise. These winter buds hold next season’s life, hope wrapped tightly within, waiting for the light to return. As midnight nears, we celebrate new beginnings already stirring beneath the earth and in the trees. #NewYearsEve

David's work is such an inspiration. Because of Hookland, I shiver when I pass between two pylons. I often ask myself: "What would Emily Banting do?" And I know that the most ordinary places are alive with strangeness. Sending gratitude and well wishes to you, David! @cultauthor.bsky.social

I am going to get through the next six-eight weeks of being housebound with books and good company. Today I am much helped by @sarahkat.bsky.social’s fabulous Fernseed and humbled to find Hookland mentioned in the acknowledgements.

Every pylon was portal. Each transmission tower a temporary temple. We followed The Hum as an act of ecstatic pilgrimage. We were the 'filthy hippy cult' parent were afraid their child would run away to join. You either heard The Hum and understood or you didn't. – Trippy Pete, ex-Pylon Person #VOH
