@markhamillofficial.bsky.social, you’re a damn fine actor, but more than that, you’re a light to the world. Hope your birthday was spectacular!

Cliff Winnig @cliffwinnig.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Oh hell. I will keep you both in my thoughts.

Cliff Winnig @cliffwinnig.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Ugh. Sorry you had to deal with that. 😐

Thanks, Tom! Valerie did most of the heavy lifting because it’s her third anthology with this group and I’m still learning how they put these books together, but I was happy to work on the project with her.

Tachyon publishes some great books. Currently they are on sale.

Hey @markhamillofficial.bsky.social, you were freaking awesome as the Major in #TheLongWalk. I knew you would be, but you exceeded my (high) expectations. It’s fun to play the bad guy, isn’t it? (I got to do it on stage in high school.)

It makes it that much trippier.

I saw it in the theater, and it was amazing. The constant movement of the “camera” enhanced the drug-haze weirdness of the film, and the ending hit like a hammer even though I’d already read the book and knew what would happen.

Bought all ten. Looking forward to Moon’s Artifice, which I’m reading first.

It’s going to be a weird Wednesday! Story Hour welcomes Debbie Urbanski back to weird us out in the very best ways! Christopher Tradowsky makes his debut with his own kinds of weird. Come see July 9 at 7:00 PDT! #Booksky @debbieurbanski.bsky.social www.storyhour2020.com

Color Polaroid photo in landscape view. It shows author Debbie Urbanski, a fair-skinned woman with sleek ash-blonde hair worn in what might technically be a bob? And might just reach her shoulders? Lens flare makes it hard to tell. She is in three-quarters view, with the camera shooting upward from below. She is standing inside, perhaps in a house; there’s a white-painted doorframe behind her, but it’s hard to see much else because of the angle. She wears a collared denim shirt and large, roundish cat-eye glasses. Her expression serious, she regards something at her eye level that we can’t see.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of author Christopher Tradowsky, a fair skinned man with straight blond hair worn at collar length, a graying blond beard and goatee, and thick blond eyebrows. He stands before a background of leafed-out green trees and buildings with low stone arches. He wears a collared seersucker shirt with thin horizontal stripes. Shoulders squared forward, he looks straight into the camera with a serious smile.

Story Hour is very proud to start June with stories from the benevolent Ben Francisco and the stupendous Suzan Palumbo. Guest hosting by the magnificent Meg Elison! Join us Wednesday at 7:00 PDT! #Booksky @benfrancisco.bsky.social @sillysyntax.bsky.social @megelison.bsky.social www.storyhour2020.com

Waist-up color photo of writer Ben Francisco, a Latinx person with dark hair worn short, dark eyes, and perfectly arched eyebrows. They wear a dark brown turtleneck, a long scarf patterned in swirls of bright, warm colors, and gold stud earrings. They stand in front of a bookcase full of speculative fiction titles and smile warmly into the camera.

Color close-up of Suzan Palumbo, a Trini woman with dark hair worn in a short asymmetrical bob and tipped with purple. She wears heavy black eyeliner, a black shirt with a collar, and a dark gray necktie. She looks to the side with a serious expression.

And this book is why I named my sea turtle puppet Ursula.

Also I think the most direct expression of Taoist philosophy in her fiction.

It’s a good essay. I remember Usenet and the early web. The very, very early web. I beta tested Mosaic on the NeXT and once surfed the entire World Wide Web in about an hour. (It consisted of a single test site.)

I still love Enemy Mine. Saw it first in the theater.

I don’t know that he’s on Bluesky, but you should ping Dave Smeds.

Story Hour moves to YouTube this week, but we still have awesome guests. Like Effie Seiberg, who’s read for us many times—and Erin Roberts, making her Story Hour debut! Join us Wednesday at 7:00 PDT! The things that matter stay the same. @effies.bsky.social @nirele.bsky.social www.storyhour2020.com

Head-and-shoulders color photo of writer Effie Seiberg, a fair-skinned woman with pink cheeks and curly black hair parted on one side and worn at shoulder length. She wears glasses with violet frames, large dangly earrings, and a light blue collarless knit shirt. She sits in what looks like an office chair with a black leather back in front of what might be a glass window in geometric shapes. She smiles broadly at the camera.

Head-and-shoulders color photo studio portrait of writer Erin Roberts, a Black woman with brown skin and black braids worn in a high ponytail that cascades to one side of her face. She wears cat-eye glasses with red frames, slender dangly earrings, and a brown-and-blue print dress or blouse in a simple repeating floral pattern. She stands before an olive-green background and holds a pen to an open notebook, looking directly into the camera and smiling warmly.

I would like to have seen another Dem do exactly what Rep. Green did after he was removed. And as soon as that Dem got removed, another stand up and do the same thing. Continue until they are all, one at a time, removed or Trump explodes in rage, whichever comes first. THAT is what I would like.
