Libby listing for The Right Side of History by Ben Shapiro

Went on Libby to look up Josephine Quinn’s history book after hearing her on @empirepoduk.bsky.social, but somehow this is the alternative the app served me 🤢

Happy birthday!!

Part 1 of my novella "Where the Dream Train Goes" is out in the science fantasy issue 452 of @bcsmagazine.bsky.social, with Part 2 dropping next week. The story is a very personal secondary world fantasy about living on the autistic spectrum and how people continually steal the dreams of others. 1/

Congratulations!! This sounds awesome!

Actually, I do have something of mine that is eligible for awards! That I wrote. With my own words and all.

"A Brief Letter on the Origins of the Harpy Aviary in the Kirani Capital" from WE WILL RISE AGAIN: SPECULATIVE STORIES AND ESSAYS ON PROTEST, RESISTANCE AND HOPE!

This, plus stole my work

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

I got an early peek and this one and you'll want to get a timely peek as soon as you can too!

I was also coming off the tail end of a migraine and kinda wondering if I could overwhelm all the pain sensors in my face - I think if I'd been at the front end of the migraine I would've gone for it!

Long term nuclear waste warning message. Against a background of an ominous spiky landscape, the words: "This place is a message. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture. This place is not a place of honor. What was here is dangerous and repulsive to us. The danger is still present in your time, as it was in ours. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited."

Anything except a hardline anti-AI stance reads like this

“Inheritance is never clean. We gather too much over the course of a life, too many objects imbued with too many memories, to ever pass on an uncomplicated story to our descendants.”

the two phases of writing: (1) writing and (2) wandering aimlessly like an unmoored ghost and complaining about not writing

Color photo of writer Randee Dawn, a fair-skinned woman with large blue eyes and blonde hair worn long and curled, with bangs. She wears a black dress with white cuffs and sits in front of a blurred background of leaves. She smiles tenderly at the camera, perhaps because she is holding a red fox to her chest. The fox is looking around.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of writer Jennifer Hudak, a fair-skinned woman with straight, gray-threaded brown hair worn at shoulder length. She wears a brownish-red top with crochet sleeves and poses before a blurred interior background that includes tile wall and light wood. Her shoulders are square to the camera, but she looks up and to one side, smiling warmly.

I need you all to show up. I want us to have a thousand people there if not more.

This novelette came about when I started thinking about Iphigenia, and Seila the daughter of Jephthah, and how similar a fate they shared and how they should have gotten to commiserate despite the hundreds of years that separated them.

I'm thinking about Spring and plants and warm soil, wishing I could garden - that made me think of this wonderful story by @aimeeogdenwrites.com published by @castofwonders.org in 2017.

Have a listen!

Thanks, Dani! What a lovely blast from the past to be reminded of this morning 💚

my intrusive thoughts are reminding me that I have both garlic cloves and a red chili pepper in my kitchen right now 😬

I really wish we could all collectively learn how necessary it is to feminism to have an anti imperialism framework

I keep thinking about how the propaganda leading to this war was all about how you needed to rescue women and the first thing they did was kill dozens of little girls.

The one here is also known as “Princess Potato”, lol

Ears!! 😍
