We will keep working with real translators and narrators (and artists and proofreaders and authors and...) without any of this "AI" bullshit.

Over a hazy purple background, there's the header "stretch goals." The first three goals, of $6900, $8300, $9700 and $11000 are now illuminated in rainbow with a picture of an open lock next to them. The remaining goals of $12000 (Reprints!) and $13000 (More Art!) and $14000 (Nonfiction!) show a closed lock next to them.

WE DID IT!! WE HIT OUR $11K STRETCH GOAL—we are officially funded for TWO YEARS! You all did that in FOUR DAYS. We're emotional at the resounding support for queer stories, poems, and art. Thank you 💜

AND we revealed a further stretch goal as well! 👀

Tonight! LITTLE DISTRICT BOOKS!

Guard your valuables and keep your eyes peeled! There are THIEVES about!

The Canarviers have arrived and I’ll be at Little District books with Venessa Vida Kelley tonight to celebrate! See you there, DC!

So:

Fascism is bad
The First Amendment is good
Genocide is an actual fucking crime

And also:

It's appalling to be in 2025 where each of these is not, in fact, taken as part of the baseline shared reality anymore

I had a blast at last night's launch party for A Ruin, Great and Free.

Thank you @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social for being an amazing, hilarious conversation partner (I don't know how you do all that you do!).

Thank you so much @2ndflightbooks.bsky.social for hosting us!

Apeiron - Lightspeed Magazine Outside the cabin, there was snow. There had always been snow, far as the eye could see, and further still. It might be true that the snow extended forever in every direction, sitting heavy on mountai...

I have to be a little self-indulgent here. "Apeiron" is one of my favorite stories. It is the clearest expression of an idea I've been obsessing about for decades. I'm so honored @lightspeedmagazine.com accepted it for their September issue.

Genre Grapevine on the Anthropic AI Settlement | Jason Sanford Get more from Jason Sanford on Patreon

I've been told the Authors Guild and plaintiffs in the Anthropic AI class action had no choice but to use a narrow definition of affected works. That if the group of writers hurt by Anthropic were too wide & diverse, the class action would've failed.

Foreground is text that reads: "Lush, richly imagined, and utterly entrancing as it builds a deeply unsettling dread, The Villa, Once Beloved is set within a historical context that gives the horror the heft it deserves.

In case you missed this morning's announcement. I'm very excited to fund 2026 and reopen submissions.

Coming soon: OTHERSIDE 2026: A New Magazine of Queer SFF! A new queer-led literary magazine devoted to speculative fiction, poetry, and art by 2SLGBTQIA+ authors and artists.

Our Kickstarter campaign is now coming September 29th! Turns out Halloween is busy (who knew)—and with our co-founders' schedules, it makes more sense to end the campaign on October 29th instead of the 31st! That’s VERY SOON! We are VERY EXCITED!

In the meantime: follow our pre-launch campaign? 👀

I’ve been asked many times if I would ever write a follow up to my novella, “Buffalo Soldier.” Well, I finally did. It’s called “Soul Rebel” and it is coming out in the next issue of THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION (edited by the legendary Sheree Renee Thomas)!
