Eugenia Triantafyllou across the table from me holding a spoon with a soup dumpling up to her mouth with one hand while holding chopsticks in the other. Her hair is orange, and she's wearing a green T-shirt with the number 1990 on it in black lettering.

Episode 264 of my Eating the Fantastic podcast is now live with guest @foxesandroses.bsky.social! Join us at the table and learn why she ended up as a fantasy writer rather than a comic book creator, how a pantser handles world building — and much more. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Limue’s Alphabet, Eleanor Glewwe In the dappled shade of a stand of bamboo, an old woman takes a stick and scratches two curved lines in the dusty yellow earth.

My fantasy novelette “Limue’s Alphabet” is out now in @thefuturefire.bsky.social, with artwork by Barbara Candiotti!

This is a story about language, writing, colonialism, and divinity, and it’s one of my favorite things I’ve written.

Excited to be back at Flights of Foundry and to share this panel with such brilliant folks!

You can also catch me on the panels “The Work of Being a Freelancer/Biz Person” and “Pirates and Sea Creatures and Kataw, Oh My!”, details on the Flights of Foundry website.

Join us, it’ll be a good one 😎

Let This Radicalize You Doing Justice: The Revolution of Rescue and Reciprocal Care is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe.

Just a heads up that @haymarketbooks.org's summer sale ends Friday. You can currently get 40% off all books, including my book with @prisonculture.bsky.social, Let This Radicalize You.

Thank you for writing this. The most awful part, really, is that these issues are entirely preventable with a bit of care and event planning, and yet year on year the Hugos continue to mangle it

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident"

#Worldcon

There’s nothing like attending Worldcon in-person as team @khoreo.bsky.social's representative, as one of the actual Finalists for Best Semiprozine, only for our masthead to be entirely skipped over, while everyone else’s names and mastheads were read in full, exactly as it was on the program sheet.

SFF magazines are ecosystems, not a one man show. They’re intricate labors of love, woven together by so many different hands, eyes, voices.

And this plurality needs to be acknowledged and celebrated, not brushed off as an inconvenience.

All of my heart and all of my Greek rage went on this one. Forever grateful to @khoreo.bsky.social for letting me talk about this issue.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
