Guinness the black cat sits on a pale wooden shelving unit. Artwork hangs on the wall behind him. He looks slightly off camera, with a pensive expression, his ears tilted forward with interest.

If you aren't already aware of It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton I highly recommend it. I have discovered new (to me) authors via short stories and have then gone on to read / listen to longer works of theirs. Plus it's a nice opportunity to listen to @wilwheaton.net narrating / talking 😊

I have never used AI. I will never use AI. I will not work with anyone or on any projects that use AI. I've been relearning how to get by without certain devices and pieces of software that have become infested with it. I functioned without them before they existed, and turns out I still can.

Reminder: 1. You don't need to have an opinion on everything, especially stuff you don't know enough about 2. You don't need to have a PUBLIC opinion on everything 3. It's okay to focus on one or two things and let others take up the slack elsewhere 4. It's okay to take a break when overwhelmed.

It is unambiguous that Bear—after causing her possession—repeatedly rapes Nikki in this film. And when she literally begs for death he turns her suffering into his own 'nice guys finish last' self-pity. If you can't see that, you need to be very concerned about your media literacy.

Through their space helmets we can see that one alien looks like a green frog and the other is a blue yeti.

My way of dealing with the demoralizing publishing industry has become to ignore everything and go write. Do not think about the outcome. Enjoy the trees and plants, do volunteer work and speak up when you can, spend time with people who love you and write, edit, revise, send it out. REPEAT.

But: I don't think a strong anti-AI position is anywhere near normalized enough *even in 2026*. Most people who reject it today are just rejecting it because they can see it sucks, not because they object to the technology on principle.

Hexagon’s Year Five Anthology is now available to all subscribers! 🧡 For as low as $1, you could be enjoying everything Hexagon published in its fifth year, marvelling at fantastic cover art, and gasping for air as you drown in never before seen concept art.

Hexagon’s Year Five Anthology cover features a human with long hair rising from a mangrove river with an enormous red snake watching ominously behind them. The human’s bottom half is sort of pixelated into small hexagon shapes as it emerges from the water.

Includes stories by Calvert, Cato, Del Valle Berríos, Dorgan, Gayet, Geleynse, Guay, Haab, Heike, Hirsch, Joines, Jones, Muscato, Novak, Nwaka, O’ Mahoney, Scheina, Stamp, Vona, and Wallace. Edited by JW Stebner.

A lot can change in five days - we could go from "magazine not happening in 2027" to "Yeah baby Uncanny is happening! Open the submission period!" It all depends on you, Space Unicorns. (Also there's still a bunch of good rewards left to snag, and I seriously can't believe they are left.)
