" @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social has created a work of speculative fiction that resonates deeply with the present moment. That’s the Grievers trilogy, the third volume of which—titled Ancestors—is due out soon; its plot blends a story of urban transformation with a heady amount of (literal) magic."
For the mild, we offer character studies and Italian fables. For the wild, we bring body horror and demonic deals. @tobiascarroll.bsky.social brings us the can't-miss indie speculative fiction for May and June 2025!

Listen to our full conversation with writer and organizer @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social on death, witching, and the alchemy that happens when we turn toward each other in relationship: atmos.earth/staying-root...
"There’s something in me that, even though I was raised not to trust it, still knows that what happens between my bare feet and the dirt is sacred.
I still know that when I’m overwhelmed by what I’m carrying, if I go lay down in my yard, I will recover some of myself."

Sometimes when I’m struggling to give my attention to fruitful, community-building things, I refer to the Emergent Strategy principle that “what you pay attention to grows” and that helps me. Grateful everyday for @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social and the impact her work has made on me.

If you are upset about what's going on but aren't sure what to do: start by calling your reps. This app 👇 makes it easy.
Standing up to authority is a muscle. If you haven't had to exercise it before, this is a great first step. I promise DOING one thing will make you feel better & more capable.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
