@peculiarityshop.bsky.social does not mess around! The rings I treated myself to from their Goblin Hoard are even more beautiful in person. I'm so delighted!
thank you so much Hillary and team πΈπ

10,000 acres of California are now back in the hands of the Washoe Tribe - a historic land return that will expand tribal land stewardship, support cultural revitalisation, and enable ecosystem restoration across sagebrush, forests, meadows and wildlife habitat

So Nebula noms close tomorrow? The day after? I didnβt make an eligibility post because lolol, what are spoons, but I did write a story with a queer throuple, a (big) fish, the sea off the Coromandel Coast, and a whole lotta body horror messiness plus yearning in @fantasymagazine.bsky.social

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.
Understood instantly what it meant.

Heads up for SFWA members filling out the Nebula nomination form:
It is possible to 'save and continue later' BUT if you do this, be sure to ALSO do the step (on the next page) of emailing yourself the link to your partial ballot.
Otherwise you'll have no way to get back to it!
I often see posts saying name an author who you've read 5 books by.
I'm interested in short stories. So how about, name an author you've read 3 short stories by?
Also, the stories have to be published in the last 10 years.
Also, don't say me. π
we are
80%

(if you were curious)
80% of a skeleton cannot lift a thanksgiving turkey
80% of a liver is not enough to feed a bear
80% off is a going out of business sale
please keep us in the business of publishing death things 4 u
