Guys, I’m speechless. Gonna be sharing this award with my 8-year-old since this poem was inspired by their question “why do we never see fireflies in the winter?” Huge thanks to the Ignyte organizers, all the voters/readers, and to @thedeadlands.com for giving this one a wonderful home!

“Fish” can be both singular (one individual fish) or plural (multiple fish of the same species.) “Fishes” refers to individuals of different species. 🐟 Fish 🐟🐟🐟 Fish 🐠🐟🐡 Fishes Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Just finished The Last Contract of Isako by Fonda Lee. I love a kickass 50 year old FMC. She is absolutely wonderful. And her world brings a whole new meaning to the term “resignation”.

N.K. Jemisin is the first author to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 3 consecutive yrs for her Broken Earth series & first to win for all 3 novels in a trilogy. Recipient MacArthur Genius Grant, 2020. She was born #OTD in 1972. Happy Birthday @nkjemisin.bsky.social 🎈 #SciFi #Fantasy #BookSky

A montage portrait of science fiction author N.K. Jemisin. On the left, she appears in a close-up photo with long, dark braided hair, wearing earrings, a delicate necklace with a pendant, a deep maroon sweater, and a shimmering green scarf draped around her neck. She has a calm, confident expression and gazes directly at the camera against a softly blurred dark background. To the right are three stacked book covers of her works. Top: The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth trilogy), with a dark, textured design and metallic title. Middle: The Obelisk Gate, featuring an intricate, glowing red-and-purple circular mandala-like emblem. Bottom: The Stone Sky, showing a dramatic stormy sky with a massive floating obelisk.

The overall composition highlights the author alongside prominent covers from her award-winning Broken Earth series.

I’ve never had a dog that watches tv before but the Chaos Puppy is fascinated by the big screen. He got so upset last night with a nasty man with a gun that we had to turn on Airbud for him. He watched the whole thing.

Just finished The Midnight Project by @cclim.bsky.social and if you haven't read this incredible book, what are you waiting for? Bleak yet hopeful near-future eco-horror meets sci-fi thriller in a story that feels all too prescient, right about now. Bonus points for Canadian content!

The "fantasy has to have rules" thinking just... generally bores me. I get where it's coming from! But I am bored. I don't want to read it. I don't want to write it. I want worlds and magic with chaos and surprise and a total absence of reliability. And also people occasionally getting electrocuted.

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

We used to think that the ocean depths were empty of life because we couldn’t imagine life in such a cold, dark place. Turns out that was just a lack of imagination. The ocean depths are teeming with life.

A thought on this sunny Sunday. In March of 1973, a man identified only as “Mr. Nadeau” wrote to famed author E.B. White, writer of “Charlotte’s Web,” and “Stuart Little.” Nadeau wrote to say he was in despair, and had lost faith in the future of humanity. White replied…

Photo of a letter from EB White:

North Brooklin, Maine
30 March 1973
Dear Mr. Nadeau:
As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that is left to us, in a bad time. I shall get up Sunday morning and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness.
Sailors have an expression about the weather: they say, the weather is a great bluffer. I guess the same is true of our human society-things can look dark, then a break shows in the clouds, and all is changed, sometimes rather suddenly. It is quite obvious that the human race has made a queer mess of life on this planet.
But as a people we probably harbor seeds of goodness that have lain for a long time waiting to sprout when the conditions are right. Man's curiosity, his relentlessness, his inventiveness, his ingenuity have led him into deep trouble. We can only hope that these same traits will enable him to claw his way out.
Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind
the clock, for tomorrow is another day.
Sincerely,
E.B. White
