Yoke of Stars arrived!!! 🥳🎊🎉 Theres no other world of fantasy quite like the Birdverse. Inimitably Jewish, queer, brimming with poetry and compassion, full of empathy and consideration. I dont feel seen so much as having found a home for my heart. So excited to read the newest addition 💖💖💖

Nice! I've read quite of the Birdverse stories on Beneath Ceaseless Skies and they are so good. I'll have to seek this one out as well. (Great cover by the way).

Posted it elsewhere, so I’d better post it here too: just under two weeks until my first-ever story is out! I’m so incredibly excited (and also extremely nervous? is this normal?? 🫣). Seeing my name on the @bcsmagazine.bsky.social website is just… unreal. What a dream!

SFF convention panel idea: Get a bunch of *former* editors/publishers of SFF magazines that were forced to shut down, and talk about what went wrong, what they learned, and what could be done better.

The other day I was asked over email about our editorial position on Ai. Figured I'd share my response here.

We're still at $188/month, just $12 shy of our peak level of funding back in fall of 2022. I still hate fundraising. And we can survive at this rate. So maybe I'll quit bothering you about this. Incredibly grateful to those of you who signed on even at $2 or $3/month. Thank you!
Support for Reckoning has flagged a bit since our 2022 fundraiser. We don't want to roll back payrates--we want to pay more, so more marginalized folks can have room to write about environmental justice and teach us how to be better! Please help if you can? reckoning.press/one-more-cal...
