Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Condé Nast emptied out every single trans and Black journalist from Teen Vogue while clearing a six figure salary for a woman who slept with people she was covering while she mocked real concerns about their fitness
Lord knows I need money but this is SYSTEMIC

And they're taking up space that could be better used by other people, people who have fucking integrity.
People like Sydette.

Nuzzi may be a joke or punchline , but she got into position by being constantly excused for being an abusive manipulative ass.
And falling back to the same schtick of being “seduced “ by men and”jealous es” by women
And you know someone like her right the fuck now
Who you’re NOT stopping

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor
Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

I promised Jez I would watch Frankenstein with him tonight but it turns out I am at capacity for body horror 🙈
(I don’t know why I agreed, actually – it’s well known that I can only really handle one-and-a-half films from the del Torro oeuvre.)

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...

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
