The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

It takes a village—every writer in the issue, every editor who dug deep into a story or poem, our formidable first reading team, our copyeditors, our production and website folks, our marketing team, our leadership. I’m forgetting people for sure. Everyone at @augursociety.bsky.social works magic.

This issue is full of writing that made me gasp and cry and laugh and rage. I’m still stunned and grateful that my first issue of Augur got to be this intense, this sharp. It was a true pleasure to work on ❤️‍🔥

As we're getting into the back half of 2026 do think about whether there's any works you'd recommend for the Otherwise Award for SFF "that expands or explores our understanding of gender". The jury can't consider works they aren't aware of so do give them a heads up of stuff they shouldn't miss.

Please contribute to this challenge of Alberta’s refusal to provide gender affirming health care. It’s also about protecting indigenous sovereignty. Both are super important! The UCP is bound to fight this.

Nearly all stores that sell new books can order a book for you even if they don't have it on their shelves. Here's a quick thread about how that works, and how it's ESPECIALLY helpful for writers who self-publish or have work with small presses.

Actually you know what, let me just

A still of the character Chihiro in the film “Spirited Away”. A character called No Face is offering her a pile of false gold that has been edited and overlayed with the logos of Claude, OpenAI and Grok. She is saying, “I don’t want any. I don’t need any.”

Spotted :) @ianli.bsky.social

$A poem in an ad space on the Toronto subway: Light of my Life by Ian Li I smile. She waves. A train cute between us. I become a beam of light, bouncing off the top of the staircase to reach her platform. She's still there. We grab coffee. She's a physicist. Light is a particle, etching out each encounter on speckled film. Glittering sunrises, flickering candlelight dinners, holiday lanterns. Under dusky moonlight, she shares news with a gleam in her eye. Not the glow of pregnancy—she landed a professorship abroad, tenure track. We're different wavelengths. Light is a wave. illuminating two paths, diffracting into many outcomes. She's beside me, but she's also on the departing train. She waves. I smile.$

He was appalled by the examination system, when it was explained to him, he could not imagine a greater deterrent to the natural wish to learn than this pattern of cramming in information and disgorging it on demand.

I spoke to an Ingram rep about this and it is, unfortunately, a real thing that they are forcing us all to do. Shit like this shouldn't be "opt out" and if you just happen to miss the notice the machines eat your art 🤬

Like all Canadian government surveys on AI, this is hilariously pro-AI. But it only takes like 5 minutes to fill out, and at the end you can make it clear that the only focus of the government when it comes to AI and culture is that Canadian artists need copyright protections from AI scraping.

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

I'm so angry this is our every summer now -watching Canada burn, watching ecosystems die and homes burn, & we just keep digging oil out of the ground. Our politicians keep spending public dollars on the oil industry; subsidies, more pipelines, sending our clean energy to run LNG plants. Insanity.
