thinking about how the ending of Bugonia is considered to be a plot twist even though it's exactly how we were told it's going to be from the beginning
We’re close to the end of our fundraiser and still haven’t met our goal — we need ~$4k in four days. Frankly: I’ve used… a lot of personal funds to keep us afloat over the years between Kickstarters. I now have a child who’ll need daycare. I won’t have enough left over to bridge khōréō’s gaps.

All right, I’ve kept quiet for a bit because of real life crap, but come on guys. Our KS is moving at a snail's pace, and we can do better. And I’m not just saying this because I’m the marketing director of @khoreo.bsky.social, or because khōréō is my ride or die fam (which they are, ALWAYS)

I sincerely hope I'm misinterpreting "dilutes the significance of finalist recognition"
Ed Morland@edmorland.bsky.social · 2mo agoThere's a motion in this year's Business Meeting Agenda on the issue of the number of contributors listed for finalists on the Hugo Ballot. Amendment and explanatory text in the images so you can see the proposal.

At the Nebulas, @maryannemohanraj.bsky.social, the founder of Strange Horizons, spoke about the origins of the magazine and how it started at a time where there were few opportunities for short story writers, particularly new writers, to have their work published. (1/3)
We have more signed books available now! From @charliejane.bsky.social and @maryrobinettekowal.com www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

Strange Horizons was the first magazine I ever submitted to as a teenager (and received a kind rejection). It was one of the first sff magazines to feel like a platform that welcomed international writers. I've read them, been published by them, written criticism for them. Help keep the lights on:
