Chuffed to have a story in here! (And in Volume One too!)

Text mounted on a screen reads as follows: WHAT IS SCIENCE FICTION? 1. DOESN'T MATTER 2. WHO CARES 3. MARKETING DEPARTMENT'S PROBLEM 4. NOT YOURS

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

I need a timeline cleanse. How about a table of contents announcement! That’s right—despite the world being on fire, it’s time to reveal the TOC for Year’s Best Canadian F&SF Volume 3! It was VERY hard to narrow the list down but it's all killer, no filler. The book launches October 14. Enjoy! 1/2

So great to see this fundraiser doing well. But it can do even better. There are some pretty great stretch goals that remain locked. Chip in if you can, share either way. Go Canada!

My story about an aging cyberpunk adapting to a solarpunk world is now up at @escapepod.org! It originally appeared in @press-android.bsky.social's Fighting for the Future anthology. You can read it or listen to it at escapepod.org/2025/03/06/e...

The big impact of small stories! Lots of great stuff in Myna's roundup, keeping company with my own "Conflict Resolution"!

"Science fiction lends itself readily to imaginative subversion of any status quo. Bureaucrats and politicians, who can't afford to cultivate their imaginations, tend to assume it's all ray-guns and nonsense, good for children."

- Ursula K. Le Guin (2012)

[Anthology idea: Ray-guns and Nonsense]

This story about siblings is Flash Fiction Online's February SF reprint! Do read right to the end because...well, you'll see!

Absolutely please do this but also be aware that it helps if it's a new book! Some libraries will not buy books older than 12-18 months old. 😬

(This particularly helps Canadians due to how our PLR system is set up by the way! Thank you!)

I reposted this slimemold Stemonitus axifera for #SlimemoldSunday today because it deserved a second curtain call... :) #NaturePhotography

A Pearl-spotted Owlet on the wing. This image is one of a burst I managed to get of this bird in flight in Akagera National Park. This species is one of a few diurnal owl species, which makes it a lot easier to photograph than others!

What You Sow - Small Wonders Your earliest memory is of your mother's brush as she yanks it through the tangle of Kentucky bluegrass carpeting your head.

Have you read "What You Sow", by @hschofieldfic.bsky.social ? It's a lovely piece about rebellion and loss and what flowers you'd choose to grow on your head.

Screenshot of a social post by @AbbyHiggs that says: 'Actually it's pronounced "jaslight" — you've been saying it wrong the whole time'

Oh my joodness...

A highlighted excerpt from a news story, apparently about a new washroom in the city bus terminal: "A second person who checked out the women's restroom and who asked not to be identified because she has always wanted to be an anonymous source - reported her findings by email: "Black shiny granite..."

Best reason to go off the record.

Me too, eh!
