The Morgana le Fay anthology is now available in the US! Find my story, "Mirror, Mirage," alongside several other wonderful retellings. 🪞✨
Morgana is a fascinating mythic figure. Over centuries, she's shape-shifted into many archetypes, reflecting how women are perceived throughout history. (1/?)

I love this move by @wired.com and hope other publications will follow. Public records (like public lands!) belong to all of us.
They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Those who know me know I was highly critical of what I saw as some of the rhetorical excesses of the campus protests. Khalil and I wld probably get into a spat immediately. It's all the more important for people who believe as I do to say clearly, the protections of the law are for everyone.

I just want a serious journalist to ask actual Taylor about InfoSec. She’s sufficiently impressive I wouldn’t be surprised if she gave a cogent answer. Like Guy Goma in reverse.

It does seem very strange for this to be a one-time, Seattle-only special Hugo category, especially given the vibrancy (but the nonetheless under-read vibrancy) of the sff poetry field.
A few speculative poets and I are in conversation about proposing a permanent poetry Hugo this year, with the goal of getting it on the ballot for future years.
Speculative poetry is a huge part of the SFF community.
If anyone has experience that could be helpful, I'd love to hear your ideas.

you always see people saying that there's no shortcut to becoming a good writer, you just have to write, and that's absolutely true. but there is another thing you could be doing and that's read as much as possible.

Here’s the thing I take from this: we absolutely have to hold our governments to their net zero pledges, and to try to over deliver. 3 C is beyond catastrophic. 2.5 C is devastating.
Less than 2 C is still going to lead to heartbreaking results.
