Truth.

Accurate

It does!!! Super not cool. That next winter storm is gonna suck. 😩🤣

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S ONLY THURSDAY? 😩

This made me giggle more than it should have. Must be Friday.

That’s amazing! Congrats! They’re lucky to have you. 💖

That this kickstarter (a) funded entirely, with all stretch goals and (b) did so on my birthday, I shall take it as the gift it is.

If you’ve still not checked out @greenroninpub.bsky.social's awesome superhero #TTRPG, #Mutants&Masterminds, you’ve got today to fix that! Trust the birthday man.

Desserts buffet AND catapults? I’m honestly aghast that we haven’t implemented that event yet!!!

“An absolute joy, building from a twisty thriller with unique and ambitious viewpoints to a conceptual work of stupendous scale. All at once it is a black romp and a fervent hope, told with an absurdist’s light touch even as it delves through the darkness.” Ian Green, author of Extremophile On the right, a 3D paperback of THE MANY by Sylvain Neuvel.

Thank you to @ianthegreen.bsky.social for this fabulous endorsement of @neuvel.net 's THE MANY !

Metal thin chain bracelet with shiny purple stone.

Happy Monday! I just found this in my glass of water.

Is it mine? Yes.
Did I put it there? No.
Do I know how it got there? Also no.

But may your day hold as much magic as mine. 🤣✨

If you vote in this, I invite you to consider nominating @canconsffh.bsky.social. We withdrew ourselves from the last couple of years because we are large, but 2025 was a lot with our venue move, and my crew performed admirably and deserves all the accolades! 💖

Dwight, I appreciate you. 💖

Yes, please! I have so much knowledge and love to give. 🤣💖

Plus, I’m fun! My IP clients keep giving me more stuff to write. That’s a good sign! (Of how FUN I am!) 🤣🎉💖

It would be highly illogical not to, really. 🖖🏻

This is one of the few things giving me massive joy right now, so I share it again—if you’re at all interested in superhero #TTRPG #gaming, believe me when I say #Mutants&Masterminds will give you everything you need for an amazing campaign!

I spent my morning with a great book! Consider booking a date with it, too!

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

💯😭🥰💯

It’s sooo good!!!! I want so many more episodes forever! 🤣

GIVE MONEY TO CHARITY AND EVAN WILL RUN AWAY FROM GIANT MANTIDS am I doing this right

Me, every week: No, *this* is my favourite Starfleet Academy episode.

Every time.

How.

He would motivate them with teeth! 🤣

It’s not framing people so much as giving them a spotlight! Everyone likes to be seen, Evan! …maybe you’re not the right person to make this argument to actually

What a great list to be included on!🥰

A copy of Coyote Run by Lilith Saintcrow featuring pulpy cover art by Phineas X Jones. Two women beating the heck out of fascists, basically.

Periodic reminder that @lilithsaintcrow.com wrote one the best asskicking, fascist-punching books ever. It’s called COYOTE RUN and we’re proud to be the publisher. You should grab it to scratch that itch. It’s in all the formats: hornedlarkpress.com/product/coyo...

Silk and Foxglove anthology, a BIPOC erotic eco-horror anthology, with a collaged artwork of a red circle, a dragonfly, and a sensual rear end!

Due to the sudden closure of the small press publishing our anthology, we're looking for a new home!

"Silk and Foxglove" is a BIPOC anthology of 13 stories of erotic-eco-horror! It's weird, gorgeous, evocative, & unnerving as hell!

Please boost! If any small presses are interested, let me know!

On Spec 129 features a cyborg whale. Works by Julie Czerneda, Marie Bennan, Cat Isidore, Alex Langer, Fiona Moore and more.

On Spec 134 features a druid on the cover. Works by Fiona Heath, Stephen Kotowych, Marie Labrousse, Ian Li and more.

We urge all our friends in the Worldcon community to consider nominating On Spec for the Best Semiprozine Hugo Award, and to consider nominating Diane Walton for Best Editor - Short Form.

They've done great work for 35 years.
