Seconding this, I broke my leg falling on the stairs last year while holding the bannister and if I hadn’t been it would have been much much worse

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

Hello queers and fears, it's almost Pride Month and I've got a gift for you: the first six months of the 🏳️‍🌈2025 Queer Adult SFF List! 🏳️‍🌈 I'm organizing this by month so click on through!

Flew through this last night immediately after release and it is (as per usual for KJ) fantastic, and also I need everyone to keep reading right to the end of the copyright section

TELL ME YOUR 🏳️‍🌈QUEER SHORT SFF🏳️‍🌈 OUT IN APRIL 2025!!! Originals only pls, up to novella in length, indie okay. Just reply with the author, title, and a link to read and/or buy and I'll get them on the list. Here's March's list for context & more info: www.patreon.com/posts/some-q...

ASUNDER is about a woman who—to her utter dismay—ends up with a guy stuck in her shadow. Described as “horror Studio Ghibli” and “Hellraiser meets Sabriel,” it’s a finalist for the 2025 Locus and Nebula Awards!

this is excellent work & contains call/email templates at the end with callouts for the specific legislative mechanisms democratic senators could use to kill this part of the bill. read the piece. make the calls. there’s no earthly reason any senator’s phone should stop ringing in the near future.

hi, cis folks! if you’re calling democratic reps about the maga murder budget, you should *specifically mention* it’s unacceptable to pass a bill blocking funding for lifesaving transition care FOR TRANS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. if you want to stand with trans people, this is a big moment. 🧵 reps.fyi

actually link to your your favorite book reviewers in the replies, let's get some clicks for people who do actually write and share thoughtful recommendations

OK, here's my own #SummerReadingList. Some real books I have read and enjoyed over the last two years. Not spending too much time on it, so it's not themed or anything, but STILL MORE TIME THAN THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES SPENT. You might find something you would like to read too! Here we go!

Shoutout to myself, @chloroformtea.bsky.social, and all the great work being done by SFF critics in this reddit AMA reply by @emilytesh.net: www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co...

Ah I missed that this had come out! One of my favourite stories of mine - about working in a call centre for a fantasy villain - gets the CoW treatment!

Cast of Wonders 637: Calling on Behalf of the Dark Lord by @catgeee.bsky.social narrated by Kaitlyn Zivanovich hosted by @chesneycat.bsky.social produced by @jeremycarter42.bsky.social www.castofwonders.org/2025/04/cast...

Every time John does a post like this I end up with a zillion more things on my TBR list (check the quotes!)

Where are the world's governments. Busy fostering this evil, where anyone trying to do good will be immediately punished.

My very first Clarkesworld story! After umpteen rejections! Excited to read the whole issue. 🥰

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

Hey, Canadians? If you want to help British people, and I am not joking about this: Make this "the reason" that Poilievre ate shit. Any time you get asked by a survey, say "honestly, it was his rhetoric on LGBTQ issues that turned me off him." Other world leaders pay attention to how this plays.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

I'm refreshing the Carleton results like I'm trying to buy Taylor Swift tickets

If you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line. You can still cast your ballot. Your vote matters.

One word, Canada: V O T E & keep your immigrant, trans, BIPOC, and/or queer friends and family front of mind when you do.

Neon Hemlock consistently publishes some of the best queer speculative fiction out there. They hit their funding goal for their latest series of novellas—help them reach the stretch goal for extra interior art! Because who doesn’t want more queer art? 👀

Canadians, many things are terrible and difficult right now, but Monday April 28 is election day and if you have not voted yet, I hope you will go out and vote tomorrow. All the info on how and where is at the official Elections Canada site: www.elections.ca/home.aspx

Vote vote vote if you didn't already get in the advance polls. Vote like your life and future depends on keeping the PCs and their creepy slimeball leader out of power. Vote like your ballot specifically could be the one that gives the Liberals a majority. Monday April 28 🇨🇦

Due to the mass-casualty event in Vancouver, St Paul's, VGH, & Lions Gate hospitals have activated a code orange. These hospitals will be needing blood donations urgently. Blood clinics are closed Sundays, but please consider donating Monday if you're in the Vancouver area. #Vancouver
