Guess what? If you supported the alcoholic Fox News pundit to become Sec of Defense, the anti-vaccine sexual abuser to become Sec of HHS, the PDFile protector to become AG & the WWE actor Sec of Education, you get to have 0 opinions on anyone Zohran Mamdani has appointed to his Mayoral cabinet.

We're open for fiction submissions!

We publish unsettling bad time stories that straddle the horror, fantasy, and science fiction spectrum. But genre is made up so if you have a dark weird horrible story that could be a fit, send it in and let us worry about it.

No closing date, open indefinitely.

Welp! Something I never envisioned in all my wildest dreams — my name on the front of Locus magazine.

Just had a novella submission—no we are not open to subs!–and as the cover letter itself seemed AI, I did a check on the actual text. Surprise!

Been a chaotic year, but grateful to all the writers, readers, and editors who made the creative side rewarding. In particular, huge thanks to @undertow.bsky.social, @carolynmk.bsky.social, and Vince Haig for publishing my first collection. Can't thank them enough. Will see what 2026 has in store.

This opinion will not surprise anyone, but:

Your ability to live a comfortable life should not be dependent on your ability to contribute to capitalism. Universal basic income is a good thing NOT because it benefits society financially (it does), but because it is good and kind and correct.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
