In a crop of a cover by gobifrip.bsky.social, a lich in a large intimidating crown lounges lazily on their throne, watching a restrained barbarian in a glowing orb. Two goblins of cute looks but clearly low int scores watch on as the lich chews on their well-manicured nail because they are so eeeeeevil.

Picked up my pre-order of All Hallows Eve from my local bookshop. I may have inadvertently hand-sold a copy of this gorgeous @datlow.bsky.social anthology to the barista at the drive through coffee shop. I couldn’t wait until I got home to crack it open.

A curious thing. TTA Press was once publisher of Interzone, Black Static, and The Third Alternative. Domain was ttapress.com The Third Alley has claimed that domain. They say they are something new at an old address. They say the site is all original fiction.

I used to be embedded in the science department as a writing teacher and one of the hardest things to convince a lot of my scientific colleagues at first was that writing had VERY LITTLE to do with words or grammar, and that it was mostly about critical thinking, process, analysis, and communication

@heynowdana.com I was an operator (CU campus) in college. We had to learn how to place international calls for people so we practiced by calling the operator in Beirut and asking for the Ramada. There wasn’t one so there was never a charge for placing the call.

This is not about the OP, but honestly, I think the constant harping on "no do THIS not THAT as a consumer" is designed to make you give up on climate. This is a job for good old fashioned government, one that regulates pollution, including greenhouse gases.

The thing about Platner is that he'll screw up, make some statement, and it's supposed to be fine. Has he met with disabled folks in Maine? Met with advocacy groups? Understood the harm of the word and how the disabled are under attack? He never does the work required to be worthy of redemption.
