Take capelin, a small silvery fish in the smelt family. Now add salt. Then throw those two ingredients in 110 vats, each of them about 10 feet tall, and let them sit in a defunct factory for over two ...

So apparently that HWA pro-AI newsletter also uses Indigenous water rights issues as a prop, trivializing the activism by Indigenous peoples to protect our water including specific anti-data centre actions. I guess they figured why not alienate Indigenous horror writers while they’re at it?

5. Oh, goodness, where DON'T I buy books from! (Amazon, grocery and other retail stores that are not bookstores.) I love to buy direct from publishers where I can! Some faves: @traumbooks.bsky.social, @atthisarts.com, @qospress.bsky.social, @stelliform.press, @neonhemlock.bsky.social

There's so much good stuff here. A Jen yelling list of great, obscure fic is like stumbling over a little treasure chest. GRABBING SOME OF THESE RIGHT NOW

My last category is the non-category of other books I wanted to yell about. Some of these have review numbers so low it is an ACTUAL CRIME. A crime against me. Luckily for you I believe in restorative justice.

Since the war in Gaza began🇵🇸, Hammam has remained on his feet, volunteering as a nurse to care for the wounded while unable to provide for his homeless family, sleeping on the streets without a tent & longing for food. they desperately need your support. Brings hope🤲 chuffed.org/project/1844...

SO HERE IS YOUR SENTENCE. You may EITHER: choose one of the books listed above to read AND THEN REVIEW. OR. choose an overlooked book that YOU love and yell at me about it.

My last category is the non-category of other books I wanted to yell about. Some of these have review numbers so low it is an ACTUAL CRIME. A crime against me. Luckily for you I believe in restorative justice.

Third category: books in translation I know it's #WITmonth and these aren't EXCLUSIVELY women in translation, as two of them have multiple authors, but they each INCLUDE women in translation.

Okay, first up poetry. I noticed review numbers for poetry seemed to be low overall. But still, for these books those numbers seemed EGREGIOUSLY low, especially considering how much I loved them!

Second up, surprising no one: trans books! All of these are also tiny presses or self-published. I FEEL LIKE I YELL ABOUT THESE CONSTANTLY ALREADY!

Gaza is no longer seeking luxury, but the most basic necessities of life. Every passing day brings new fears, hunger, displacement, and losses, while families struggle to protect their children amidst unbearable conditions. If you can help, don't delay. chuffed.org/project/1575...

In Gaza, their dreams are no longer limited to surviving another day, Samaa's young daughters wake up to the sounds of explosions instead of childhood laughter,while the simplest necessities of life have become a burden beyond her capacity. Don't leave them chuffed.org/project/1575...
