Heard from Asimov's Magazine today that my story, "The Adherence," published in the issue pictured below, was a finalist for their Reader's Award Poll this year. It's their tradition to post these at their site for some time. So, if you didn't read it but would like to, head on over there in a while

I have a new horror story coming out tomorrow, so here's an old interview I did about why writing horror is important, why I do it, and why I'm glad so many more BIPOC people are writing it too. horror.org/asian-herita...

Is it taboo to talk about insecurity? Everyone on this website /appears/ so confident all the time, but I for one cried almost every night at Clarion over my inadequacies. Is this me whining or just being honest? Who am I even talking to?

Anyone who has ever worked with data knows that it’s very easy to make it lie, even if that’s not your intention. If you’re on a warpath to destroy the government using AI and 20 year olds who can barely code, your data is almost certainly gonna lie.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

I'm writing a novel. The ending involves the guy dying from pernicious anemia. And that's on projecting your own issues (vitamin B12 deficiency) onto your characters 🤌👍

Did you know that back in 1947, a journalist named Orrin C. Evans and his brother, George J. Evans Jr., made history by launching All Negro Comics Inc. in Philadelphia? It was the first Black-owned comic book publishing company in the U.S.! #blackhistory

I published some stories I'm proud of in 2024, but if you're nominating for awards I only want you to consider "Inside the House of Wisdom" by Tamara Masri in Lightspeed. Packs more heart & horror & hope into 1600 words than most stories could do in 6000! www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/insi...

Seen this guy before and he does good and heartfelt protest music, this is good. as as an aside: when we have a robust underground trading cheap physical formats (cassettes, cd-rs, mixes) then no company can ban our stuff and we also forge bonds of solidarity and community ask me how I know

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING. This is the best short story I read in 2024, and soon it shall be yours. Tamara Masri's "Inside the House of Wisdom" is brutal and devastating, as befits the subject matter, but the horrors are framed with so much hope and joy. www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/insi...
