even if libraries caused readers to buy fewer books* it would be worth it, in order to live in the kind of society that produces readers and books. *they don't, and this survey doesn't successfully demonstrate that they do

You all-- I never thought I'd see the day, but library peeps, strap in for a fight. The Author's Guild is going after us as the reason why authors are making less money. I don't think they understand who they are dealing with: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

Just found out The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains is currently $2.99 on kindle. How long will this be true? I have no idea! But if you like portal fantasy with hiking, food, stabbings, and magical bureaucracy, now's your chance to try it for cheap! 💙📚

So preorders are one of the best ways you can help an author! They signal interest to the bookstore and the publisher! Now is frankly an especially great time to preorder a lot of queer & diverse books, to signal that there's still a market despite bans! It's a way you can help plus you get BOOKS

My new Strange Horizons essay is up! With a deliberately provocative title! WHY ALL SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY WRITERS ARE HISTORIANS Yes, *all* And, no, it isn't just for the reason you think... I've been working toward this one for a while, very excited to share it!

Why All Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Are Historians

SFF authors are the front-line practitioners who put the fruits of history’s craft into daily practice, sharing it in doses the public can consume, combining, treating, administering, customizing, …

My debut novel is going to be releasing a smidge sooner in the U.S. & Canada which means less waiting and also I’m absolutely totally emotionally prepared, see I even made a graphic

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

struck by how much places that do not usually do political journalism have stepped up in this time.

Since @peoplemag.bsky.social is doing such a good job covering this with honesty & the humanity it deserves in spite of this vengeful regime trying to snuff it out, here’s the links to their articles. Give them all the clicks—they earned it.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 7mo ago

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

every federal agent who ever put on a mask did so because on some level they knew this moment was coming they knew they were setting out to do things that would deserve profound shame at the least, and righteous retribution at the most

There has NEVER BEEN AN IMMIGRATION PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY. There has been a racist, nationalist fear-mongering problem in this country. There has been an immigrant worker exploitation problem. But there has never been an "immigration problem."

I was absolutely thrilled to get this ARC of Love Galaxy, by @sierrabranham.bsky.social , set at a galactic reality TV love competition with a sapphic forbidden romance twist! Thanks to @transworldbooks.bsky.social for my copy. 💕 www.goodreads.com/book/show/239881885-love-galaxy #romancelandia

Oh hey, I’m starting a newsletter, sign up at the link in my bio or website if you want my unprompted thoughts in your inbox at chaotic intervals (also like updates on publishing stuffs or whatever)

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment

ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months

popular.info

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 7mo ago

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

ICE doesn't keep our communities safe.

I am sold seven hundred times over. Very excited to read this!

Cat is out of the bag! Tor declined my suggestion to include in the blurb "sapphic Winter Soldier, but wizards"; however this is in fact the only accurate way to describe this book torpublishinggroup.com/call-me-trai...

Global hunger is falling for the first time since the pandemic, driven by gains in Asia and the Americas. In 2025 the world produced record harvests of wheat, rice and soybeans, pushing grain prices down 8 percent and rice prices to their lowest in 18 years. buff.ly/2Jeoldi #ShareGoodNewsToo

Currently reading & really enjoying a proof of LOVE GALAXY by @sierrabranham.bsky.social !!! Yes it's about a bi disaster trash collector getting drawn into a reality dating show to determine who will marry the galactic imperial heirs, but it ALSO has murder, politics, banter, and great characters!
