Hello everybody!

As some of you may know, my partner and I are planning a pretty big move. Without going into too much detail, this move will be the beginning of a much needed healing journey for both of us.

Coins for the Ferryman: Fundraiser For 2026 - PSYCHOPOMP.COM Another October has arrived, crispy around the edges with a coolness that sinks into your bones. One season folds into another we rarely see, the ground

In 2025, @psychopomp.com and Hugo-finalist @thedeadlands.com had 11 stories and poems shortlisted for awards and honors. Astonishing. We hope to continue our work next year, but we can't do what we do without YOU. Join our fundraiser or Patreon today. 🖤💀🖤

The microfiction piece "Reprise" appears against a background of a photo looking up a limestone cliff at the trees above. The piece reads: "*Not enough*, we hold, the round hulls of our wings casting oars into the dark, the splash echoing to spill into distant coves. The land will not sustain us; its rocky shores cast a soaring cry over the waves, defiant and daring, but rocks repelling teeth bear little fruit. Our voices swell, songs replete with the ken that magnates always outpace kings: weighing anchor, trading empire, casting out the net. Industry and worship. Reassurance and rapine. One calamitous scramble after another and then: devoured. Reprising, splashing, throats forming the chorus behind bloody teeth. Not enough. Never enough." by Kieren Alderling

For the #AugurMicros2025 contest, some thoughts about the net. @augursociety.bsky.social

close up of Mojo, a white maltese dog, staring lovingly past the camera at me. His eyes are large like boba balls and his nose is black with the texture of an Oreo cookie. He could be a plushie or perhaps a sentient hotel towel.

Mojo, a white maltese dog, laying on a fluffy blanket the same color as him, head popped up because silly me thinks it’s okay to move around and work when he is Napping.

Close up of Mojo, a white maltese dog, as he attempts to lick my phone camera. His tongue is a pink blur.

Upside down shot of Mojo’s face as I give him belly rubs. He is a very happy boy. His ears flop a little.

Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.
