Yeah, I thought so too!
We absolutely love this! Amazing production, amazing narration, and amazing authors - we're so proud to say that Simultaneous Times has adapted some of the work we publish! #sciencefiction #podcast
This book has been in my bookcase for decades...and is still there in an honored location. Some books truly change the world, and this one definitely did for so many of us.
It was really good - well done!
Finished this a couple days ago - wow, what a book! @housleydave.bsky.social has outdone himself with this one. So much to love in this novel, which I'm still thinking about. Will write a review for it soon!

Melanie Figg - in the DC/Maryland area. She's great! www.melaniefigg.net
Can't overlook or overstate how ridiculous next week's heat looks. Denver may hit 80+ for 4 straight days. And a chance to hit 90. In March.
Denver's earliest 90°+: April 30. If we get there next week (possible)...it'd be 6 weeks earlier than the current record.
Unreal.

That’s 125% of the National Science Foundation’s annual budget, for anyone keeping track.
So infuriating!
Grammarly said: "We built the agent to help users tap into the insights of thought leaders and experts and to give experts new ways to share their knowledge and reach new audiences." So, they will put words in your mouth, as if you said them - without your knowledge! Breathtakingly unbelievable.

I get so tired of talking/posting/writing about AI every single day. Ugh. I just want to write my stuff and not worry about all that.
To be exquisitely clear, I never volunteered for this, I was never asked about this, and I do not consent to this.
Pretty sure everyone I know on the list (much longer than what is shown) would say the same.
Grammarly can fuck off to the edge of the universe and keep fucking off beyond that.
The SFPA @sfpoetry.bsky.social is currently looking for a new contest chair. This was me last year. If anyone has any questions about undertaking the role, feel free to reach out
It should not be like this in March!
I've never used that - and when one of my writing partners kept pushing me to try it, I said, "no thanks...I'll figure out the grammar myself!" Now I'm doubly glad I didn't fall for it.
Looks like we're right in the bullseye for this. Hmmm
This is a protest not just against gen AI training generally, but against the UK government's proposal to allow AI companies to train on copyright-protected work unless the author/artist opts out

Submissions for this open April 20! Details here: rmfw.org/colorado-gol...
It's 71° in Denver right now...just a reminder we got a half-foot of snow 3 days ago.

Forgot the alt text, so here it is again...with alt text!
Just received this book over the weekend. I started reading and cannot put it down! I loved Dave Housley's previous book and this one is even better. Highly recommended! You can get it from Mason Jar Press. #scifi #sff
lol - not going to work. "If the House and Senate advance a bill and Congress remains in session, any bill would become law within 10 days even without a signature from Trump."
Oh wow - that's great, Lynne! Congratulations. Well-deserved!
Just submitted a flash fiction piece about a dystopian, yet hopeful, future. I tweaked it a little, read it out loud again, and thought, "I really like this story." And I do! Hoping the editors like it too.

Well, that's interesting - I decided this morning to make this soup and just had it for lunch! I've made it a zillion times. One of my faves for sure.
Exciting!
Seems weird to be excited about snow in Colorado, but we've had virtually none all winter. Just dry, dry, dry and 70 degree days. Even the cactus in my garden was suffering. You shouldn't have to water a cactus, imho, but that's what I did.
Yay! Snow! It's amazing...and beautiful out there. Glad I canceled my meeting and am staying home this morning.
