This is one of the most profound statements & pieces of wisdom I've ever seen in a meme 🖤
Go enjoy the forest, for the Wolf is always near. 🐿️🍁🐺
Go enjoy the forest, for the Wolf is always near. 🐿️🍁🐺
![There is no moral
The wolf eats you one day
And until it does
The forest is beautiful

Our story of the week is “Things I Don’t Tell My Sister” by MM Schreier in Factor Four Magazine.
This story teases you with one horror of sisterhood only to hit you with a different one altogether at the end. Short, sweet, and sublimely messed up.

Reminder: A lot of great books published this year during absolutely bonkers news & world event times. That squashes people talking about them. Keep buying books please, keep borrowing them from libraries, and for the love of all that's good, talk about them. Post about them. 📚

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

When it comes to a wedding guestlist people always ask if you have a big family but they never ask how podcasts you’ve done.
Thrilled to have worked with so many talented people and even more thrilled to get to call so many of them friends.

I’m not proud of not having used ChatGPT or whatever bc it’s … easy not to use it. Choosing not to use it has no impact on my day. Bc it’s not even good at the thing it’s supposed to be doing. It’d be like being proud of myself for not using a broken calculator to do math.
