Life’s tough for a whole lot of people & I try to temper my optimism for the future with the realities many of us face. Yet I still want to say that forming community that uplifts no matter how small does move the needle forward. Joy IS an act of rebellion and is fuel that helps us face adversity.

That's my point here. Do what YOU can. Other people do what they can. Everyone cleans up their tiny corner. Everyone pulls the tiny lever they can pull. We all do this. Don't you see? That's the *point*. We all have to do what small things we can. Do not despair. Do not, I beg of you, despair.

They looked at the damaged limb. "You need to send me back to the factory," the robot said. "We have a workshop here at the farm." "I am not allowed to repair myself." "Can you show me how to do it?" "You'd do that?" "I don't want to risk they decide it's cheaper to scrap you." #MicroFiction

For too long I wouldn't give to fundraisers if I could only afford $3-5, but now I know from running my own fundraisers that small donations really, truly add up and make a HUGE difference. If you have a few bucks to spare would you consider chipping in to help homeless animals? gofund.me/afd86126

"I want to become a monster hunter," the young man said. "Any advice?" The old monster hunter thought. "Those determined to find monsters," he said at last, "will always find them." "Great! Anything else?" "Always ask who decides what makes a monster." He paused. "And why." #MicroFiction #TypoFix

As an FYI, @strangehorizons.bsky.social published my very first (commercial) science fiction story, so they're near and dear to my heart. I'll remind you when you can start sending them money.

And we are delighted to finally announce that our fund drive starts in just FOUR DAYS. From June 9th, we'll be fundraising for another year of Strange Horizons. Please support us if you like what we do! Rewards to be announced in the coming days!
