I have got to get off Bluesky. Surprisingly it turns out that non stop commentary on the murder of a woman I have a fair amount on common with does not make me feel very good.

For anyone writing short fiction and hoping to get published, if you're not already using SUBMISSION GRINDER, it's pretty much going to change your life.

I’m a re-reader. Some books are like favorite sweaters or the perfect cup of coffee, and I want to experience them over and over. Knowing what’s coming isn’t a deterrent - in fact, that allows me to really sink into the story.
Wondering who else does this and what your favorite re-reads are?

I’ve been reading @mmschreier.bsky.social’s work for years, and this is the gut-punchiest story I’ve read in a long time. Lovely, sweet, and terribly sad all at once.
This Tuesday, we are celebrating the release of “Stairs for Mermaids” by MM Schreier. This dark literary fantasy uses 1st-person plural POV to deliver the collective voice of little sisters.

Hey, I know a lot of you use Discord.
You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too.

Multnomah Country, Oregon, has posted warnings to residents that ICE agents are impersonating utility workers.
You read that right. ICE is now impersonating utility workers in order to gain access to people's homes and businesses without a warrant.

Starting tomorrow, the Trump administration is set to send notices to 1,000 student loan borrowers (first round) noticing them of an intent to garnish their wages for student loan debt.
This is cruel and unnecessary.
If you receive a notice, send it to us and we'll try to help.

If anyone in Portland Oregon would be willing to offer housing to a friend with Parkinson's who is about to get brain surgery, is on disability, can pay rent, and is being forced out of his current housing situation please reach out. This is time sensitive.

It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.
