Huge News! My Story, 9 Steps to Dissecting a Ghost, is now out at Pseudopod. This is definitely a dream market for me and even more so to have my story read by the award winning author @premeemohamed.com. This is one of my favourite and most deeply emotional stories to date. I hope you enjoy.

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

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.

This story says a lot about who we choose to be. Our choices define us, define our institutions, define our lives. In a world where the status quo is the gold standard, the question stands; Who will you choose to be? @mynachang.bsky.social certainly delivers with this hard hitting message! #Resist

Our midweek read is “Null Empathy” by Myna Chang, an absolute chilling addition to our RESIST anthology. #writingcommunity #flashfiction #sciencefiction @mynachang.bsky.social flashfictiononline.com/issues/resis...

This situation sucks, and we're very lucky that Irene W Collins/Bella Chacha/Charity Ogechi clearly violated our submission guidelines. This time, we were spared the necessity of determining whether or not her writing used text-generating "AI" tools, something that's almost impossible to be sure of.

Today, in place of a new piece of writing from IT WAS PARADISE, our special issue on war and conflict in environmental justice, here's a word of explanation from publisher @michaeljdeluca.bsky.social as to why we felt we had to remove a poem from the issue: reckoning.press/ai/

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.

In our second story of our #Resist series, a sister’s love is a force as strong as gravity bringing our protagonist back to the country she thought she’d left behind. This is a grief story that manifests a profound sense of loss but also an enduring resilience fueled by love. #flashfiction #scifi

Our latest RESIST anthology release is “In the Name of Those Optimist Iranian Fools” by Pegah Ouji. “I hated this virus, its greed for the scarce quantities of Iranian optimism.” #writingcommunity #flashfiction #sciencefiction #slipstream flashfictiononline.com/issues/resis...

RELEASE DAY! I’m proud to present RESIST, a @flashfictiononline.bsky.social anthology dedicated to resistance! It was a pleasure working with the many talented writers whose work is showcased here. These stories are sure to inspire even in the darkest of times. Links below.

Pictured here a walled in tree grove at night with books sprouting from tree limbs.  Pages emerge from the books spelling out RESIST. The wall that surrounds the grove is topped with barb wire. Kneeling in the middle of the grove is a woman who is hovering over a small sapling with a book sprouting from it. The book is casting a yellow glow.
