I do like that in THE TERMINATOR, the future of humanity hinges, in a way, on storytelling--Kyle Reese's unfailing faith in, and love for, a woman from the past that he's never met, having been told stories of her heroism by her son. Sarah Connor sees that faith, and loves him for it.

No donations for 2 days. Thank you to everyone who's shared & donated for your generosity. But support has fallen a lot. Please help Archita reach her goal and get some semblance of security in this terrible time for her and her mother.

Hi folks! Odd timing, but what is time. I wanted to say a few words about @bogiperson.bsky.social 's new book, Song of Spores. The launch was somewhat swallowed by the News Cycle, alas...

Usual disclaimer: the author is my spouse, I love them, etc.

This book is awesome!

2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.

Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH๐Ÿ˜€

IT'S VITAL TO SUPPORT indie pubs that encourage risk & diversity. Here's a ๐Ÿงต of em you can support directly:

Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira of the book 'The Bloodweaver' by C. N. Kuster, featuring a young man with eyes closed, holding a spiralling ball of blue magic in his hand. Through the light of the magic we can see the bones of his hand. He's wearing a uniform with a knife on his belt, and there is a landscape of vineyards on the background.

I really love a light source and other artist's abilities to make the viewer feel emersed in a time and place. So I'm playing with colors and glow a bit rather than working completely flat. (I still love experimenting, learning and changing)

Thank you! It has a bit, but the headache and complete lack of energy is still with me. Itโ€™s like being a touch hungover without any of the preceding fun

I think Iโ€™m having one of those โ€œIf you donโ€™t give your body downtime to rest it will do it for youโ€ days. I donโ€™t feel sick, but I sure donโ€™t feel good, either.

Vaccines save lives.

And no, they do not cause autism.

A table strewn with stickers in various shades of purple or with holographic/rainbow hues. Thereโ€™s a sticker of the OTHERSIDE banner art obscured by a holographic logo, a version of the logo with the colors of a pride flag in the center, and - in the foreground - a large stack of holographic stickers that read โ€œI supported OTHERSIDE before it was cool.โ€ Some of the stickers are grouped into piles with one of each of the four designs.

Thanks to the overwhelming support we received during our Kickstarter last month, we were able to add a bonus campaign-exclusive sticker for backers who had picked up a sticker pack! Huge thanks to everyone who supported OTHERSIDE before we were cool ๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ ๐ŸŒˆ

Andโ€ฆ stickers are officially IN THE MAIL!

How to Disable AI Features in Firefox Browser Are you looking for clean user experience in your Firefox browser? Here's how you can disable AI features in Firefox for a simple, no-nonsense usage.

So, I'm really kind of fucking annoyed and disappointed with Mozilla enabling AI in Firefox by default and not giving users a simple opt out switch.

I have disabled it in my firefox via 'about:config' , if you want to too, here's how to disable it completely or enable certain bits you find useful

How hard is "hard sci fi?" Most books are only really accurate on one axis. Listen to me and @starstryder.space go deep on everything from hard sci-fi to AI to sociology in fiction.

Middle school sucked for me, as it did most people my age. 9/11 happened smack in the middle of it, we were in a disgustingly conservative suburb of a military town that kind of operated like a small town.

However. My 8th grade social studies teacher is probably the reason a bunch of us survived.

This is such sad news. I was so delighted to be published in The Deadlands this year. If anyone has the spare funds to support a great publisher, please sign up to their Patreon and help keep The Deadlands going.
