One thing being the AH of Photography for @laworldcon.bsky.social under @hugobookclub.bsky.social is that I have developed further the sense of how I want to do and how I do people photos. See this picture of @ardyce.bsky.social and @emilyhockaday.bsky.social as an example.

Lots of people saying that the hate against A.I. has to stop, but honestly, I think we could be doing more. Hating more. Hating on a deeper level.

This is making me lose my mind. Are these people so divorced from their own imagination that they can’t even understand that artists are intentionally not depicting reality?

I interview 30 sharks a day for the position of shark tank shark. I always offer them the chance to get some chum from the vending machine. There is no job. There is no shark tank. But guess who owns the chum vending machine? (This is what most LinkedIn posts sound like to me).

Fantastic event @astoriabookshop.bsky.social for the launch of Lindsay Stuart Hill’s world of dew with readings from @emilyhockaday.bsky.social. Two of my favorites so far when going through the books… it’s January still by LSH and River Clay by EH.

Covers of world of dew by Lindsay Stuart hill and in a body by Emily Hockaday. The former depicts a forest or a swamp, surreal and dreamlike with evening light. The latter depicts a the head of a woman with perhaps carrot flowers growing out of her face.

It's January. Still.
But on the plus side, as I walked down my block after the blizzard, I saw a woman with wine-dark dreadlocks, and from her pocket there was singing, and she was singing along, don't worry, baby
to her car, of all things, as she swept armfuls of snow from it, a VW bug with headlight eyes, windshield wiper antennae sticking straight up, and I walked on overcome into the cloudless blue morning. Don't worry, baby.
I had walked out my door, phone in hand, with a head full of news: 1,300 people dying a day, vaccine mandates in stalemate, new laws contrived to erase our history.
But now, this sky meadow. My thoughts stunned, cowed and sheepish in pure air.
Oh literal glitter, sparkling specks of snow dust upswept like bird murmurations, apart, together, dispersed, space-entered, oh God. On the plus side, there she was: music overflowing from her pockets, her throat, as if we were buried in nothing but sunlight and snowfall and she could just brush it all off with her mittens.

River Clay
Being back here, I'm reminded what I'm made of. The wet shore of Hockanum River is red and thick.
I know the slimy feel of clay between my fingers and under my nails.
A muskrat glides through the water;
I think about my own clay limbs—the stiffness each morning, how you call and call my name with your little voice,
but I still can't get them to move.

If it were me I would consider: Do I have a contract with them? Do I want them to have my poem (are they someone I’ve been subbing to for years)? What would I do with the poem if it were free? Sorry this happened; it’s so stressful and disheartening to be in limbo like this.

Our leader is starving his people and blaming it on everyone else. I really can’t fathom this dystopia we live in where corporations worth billions don’t pay fair taxes or their employees livable wages but food insecure residents aren’t worth spending $$ on. TLDR please donate to local food banks.

The magazine launched the careers of many well-known authors, and is the oldest science fiction magazine still in operation today. Trevor deserves recognition for continuing the tradition of publishing groundbreaking SF. Analog has 75 awards under its belt. Let’s give its editor long overdue credit.

I'm grateful for the beautiful trans people in my life. But solidarity is never just about "them." It's about all of us. Recognition of trans people is liberating for everyone. It opens space for all of us to think about our identities and relationships outside the sex we were assigned at birth.
