easy to chalk the stuff in france up to some vague platitude about ~voting~ but it feels to me like more proof that you have to give people something to vote FOR, and that socialism remains better equipped to beat fascism than liberalism does! just one gal’s opinion

a small thought (I don't post a lot of Content on my patreon, but I do occasionally have small thoughts! I've also been archiving some of my once-published-but-no-longer-available short stories from long-defunct magazines, working forwards from the beginning) www.patreon.com/posts/around...

‘The crayon sang a beautiful song. I reveled in the pain of it burning my hand and drew that bastard Viking all in red.’ I can’t wait to read Matt’s new stories. Read his IZ story ‘When I Was the Red Baron’ in IZ 299 scarletferret.com/magazines/in... weightlessbooks.com/interzone-299/ 🖍️💥👇

I just received an acceptance e-mail for a short story (prose, not comics), about 6,000 words of dark fantasy/horror. My fourth acceptance. Two more stories are out making the submission rounds. Three stories are off for a critique. And four more are in early drafting stage. Onward. #write

ooooh--this story by @jolantru.bsky.social sounds excellent.

‘it’s a quiet story, which eschews the normal beats of [an sf] narrative and shows us just the epilogue, what comes after the end of the world’ Jonathan Laidlow reviews Joyce Ch’ng’s ‘The Barricade’ and Álex Souza’s ‘Amber Alert’ in @supernovareviews.bsky.social supernova.reviews/2024/07/06/i...

'I want the fresh, vibrant, vulnerable, messy, terrible, crushing, incredible big feelings we are all, still, feeling, somewhere, even when they’re hard to access. I want catharsis' To me this is a limited atitude. I want ideas, insights new to me, less demandingly I'll settle for being amused.

I don't know where the balancing point is between "teachers are always incontrovertibly right" and "teachers are morons who don't know anything," but what I do know is that interactions like these are going to happen a lot more often when your cultural assumptions are basically at the latter point.

The whole "you can't have infinite growth on a finite planet " argument is really driven home by the fact that capitalism keeps leaning into shit like exploiting intellectual property and digital currencies. The imagination is the only truly boundless resource and it's all that's left to plunder

reminded of a scene from Terry Pratchett's Going Postal

A hill I will die on: all white-collar crimes are violent crimes. It's just that the violence is removed from the perpetrator because the perpetrator is wealthy.

The West Wing gets kind of a bad rap, a lot of its politics hold up poorly but I think people misremember it as a show where every idea like this was just crazy enough to work, but a lot of the conflict came from the fact that they didn’t

Isn’t THE WEST WING textually opposed to the concept of replacing either POTUS or VEEP as nominees? Bartlett suffers no consequences for hiding his MS, and despite polls saying a change in VP might be smart, they stick to the original guy.

It makes me sad when people misgender a nonbinary character and assign binary pronouns that I specifically avoided giving them in a story. Getting stories published with characters who have They/Them pronouns isn't easy. If I've taken that risk as a writer, your respect (or disrespect) means a lot.

The KomDiv is a very smart man who is aware that Rastovich is the most wanted man in the Bloc, and is going to try to betray him anyway. The result is a comic with enough blood you could fill a pool with it. kck.st/3VKwykC
