Today's the day! My upcoming horror is called Catamorphosis! Check out the fabulous cover by Scottish artist Candra Hope, @candrahope.bsky.social!
Cancer was the start of Jasmine's life falling apart, but as she lay dying, the only one at her side her ginger tabby, something uncanny occurred.

This was also my first Cherryh. If you've never read her work and you like sci-fi, space opera, or badass lion women willing to allow a strange, male human in their midst, snap this up! The alien cultures and politics yank you in, but there's also plenty of pew, pew, pew!
My gateway to a lifelong love of C.J. Cherryh was a used copy of The Pride of Chanur, now $1!!!
Alien POV, first contact, learning to communicate, alien culture, alien politics. A great place to start with this star of the field. #speculativefiction #sf #spaceopera

ANYWAY if your tradpub is openly violating contract clauses and fucking you over, you’re not alone. It’s widespread and seems to be accelerating rapidly. Protect your work, protect yourself so far as you can.
I repeat: You are NOT alone.

And by “violating contracts” I mean violating numerous basic clauses at once. Royalty accounting. Royalty payment. Editorial and marketing support. Registering copyright. Subrights reserved. Reversion thresholds. EVERYTHING.

We’re at a point in publishing where tradpubs are openly and habitually violating contracts because the C-suites and private equity ghouls literally believe “we’ll just get ‘AI’ to provide slop as ‘books’ and anyway 99.8% of authors are too poor for legal representation anyway.”

Women are about to experience a world that insists they only exist to be oppressed if we don't start taking lessons from the past
Eliminating gender studies courses helps to ensure that universities and other institutions will continue to protect men who benefit from the abuse of women and girls, either directly or through their connections to those who exploit girls and women for profit.

I'm a bit of a tree nut. But look at this photo! It's like an orb! With a glowing center! I'm not sure if the tree is going to flip over and skitter away or if it's about to grant you the ability to reverse global warming. It's like a @parkparr.bsky.social painting before the color! Great shot, S!

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

In local news, I saw Little Bat and that thug Odin hanging out. I was sure one-eyed Odin was lurking for his chance to jump her, but no incident occurred. Breakthrough. My bat was even infringing on Odin's territory. Shocking development in local feline relations.
