The AI and data center fight continues in GA. Everyone in the state has a stake in this fight. GA has fought other states for water rights. We need to fight the companies building data centers. Call your local reps. Demand answers about water usage, power, taxes.

Data center set to use 6 water towers worth of water per day in Georgia
The largest data centers could use 6 million gallons of water - or six full water towers - every day.

Happy six months to Astrophobia!

This book was my first time contributing to an anthology and I think everyone involved did some damn fine work 😌

Cover for Astrophobia: An Anthology of Space Horror, curated by vesper doom. An astronaut drifts in a blue-hued starscape. Their screaming face is pressed to the visor of their helmet, and it stretches around their features like rubber.

The cover of Iron Spirit by Linn Foster. A young woman stands with her back to the viewer, looking over her shoulder. A rifle is slung across her shoulder. A fox made of neon cyan fire stands in front of her, while she holds a flame of the same color. (Art by Russell Showalter.) Did you know, my little Kelly, that today is the day the world ended? Yes, my little kit. You are living in the end of the world. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful faerie queen named Enaid, who loved every living thing. She loved all beings so much that she gave her life to save a magical white stag, the last of his kind. A hunter was prowling the forest and came upon him grazing in a clearing. Thinking him an unusual deer, the hunter took aim, intent on bringing him down and taking him home to display his beautiful white fur and horns proudly on his trophy wall. Enaid, in the forest admiring the stag, saw this and dashed in front of the beast as the hunter pulled the trigger. The bullet struck her in the chest, right through her loving heart.

Micah loves the forest, and you will too! 🍃
A young man, Micah, kneels in a field of purple flowers. He holds a bundle of purple flowers in one hand while reaching to gather more with his other hand. He has peach skin, golden hair, and brown eyes. He wears a white shirt, brown pants, and a wide-brimmed straw hat with flowers woven through. Behind him, there is a verdant forest of trees. Bees buzz around the man as he looks down towards his work. The title, Sweet & Wild, is above him and the author’s name, Alex Larkspur, is below him. 1 - The Forest The trees welcomed Micah Harlow like an old friend even though he had never been in this particular forest. It had been a rainy few days, but the spring morning was finally crisp and cool, not a sweaty, unforgiving, humid monstrosity. Instead, it was a perfect day for foraging. Micah stepped carefully through the trees, humming to himself, avoiding mud puddles as best he could. As he leapt from one root to the next, his worn leather satchel bounced on his hip and the milk bottle in his carry basket fell over. He took a moment to right the bottle—luckily none had spilled—and continued his search. Sun dappled between the oak leaves and danced on the ground. Birds twittered around him, filling the morning air with their songs. He could hear animals scampering through the underbrush. He straightened his wide-brimmed straw hat and pushed up his sleeves. A grin spread across his freckled face when he spotted exactly what he was looking for. Every forest, whatever its size, has its guardian spirit. And the forest outside of Roseyard was anything but small. Micah’s mother had always taught him that before taking anything from the forest, you should make an offering to its spirit. They did it every week when she was still alive, back in Steephall, where the woods were considerably
