We're (just over) halfway there! The Strange Horizons Kickstarter is 65% funded! Help support the same quality SFF content that we are committed to publishing every week! We even won a Hugo last year for our efforts! And we couldn't do any of it without your generosity. Help us get to 100%!

The Wings Upon Her Back, by Samantha Mills (@samtasticbooks.com). I don’t recall why I put this down, but I did. I picked it up again and did not regret it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Can confirm from my hot southern California canyon-- this is all the advice I'd give. I'd add: your oven/stove doesn't exist during a heatwave. Eat a platter of cool things. Yogurt, fruit, sandwiches, veggie trays, idk your eating parameters just don't add heat to your home or insides

I can't tell you how invigorating and inspiring and hopeful it is to be in a crowd of people who also care. Took a group of teens to the last big protest and they were most struck by no longer feeling alone. If you're able to go, I encourage you to try. Get a group of friends & go together.

There are SO MANY protests. Yes, in your red state. Go to a big one. Go to a small one. Go to one, if you can.

Oh! The Ignyte ballot is up! As usual, everything I've read so far was superb and I'm looking forward to checking out the rest. One of my fave shortlists every year. And anyone can vote! ignyteawards.fiyahlitmag.com/vote/

I think I've mentioned this before, but there was a little Cuban restaurant in town many years ago. I ate there ONCE and had the best sandwich of my life, and then the owners got divorced and shut it down RIP ;_;

So apparently they used to be called @[email protected]. Talk about a bait and switch! You may be following them without even knowing it.

So, B&N is having a preorder sale at the same time as Amazon is having a sale, and both are targeting Independent Bookstore Day, which is one of the biggest in-store shopping days of the year. It feels shitty as an indie bookstore to be targeted by billionaire and venture-backed corporations

Here is a free idea for every frozen food company that exists: print the oven temperature on every edge so I can see it no matter how I have to stack my freezer goods. I'll get to the rest of the instructions when I pry the box out later. Just give me that temp
