I've already signed, and I hope you'll sign, too. SFWA needs to be more open about their policy decisions and not use vague terms like "political activity" as an excuse to avoid supporting all authors.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

FAILURE TO COMPLY, my debut novel is about trans, disabled survival under techno-authoritarianism, and uses experimental language + formatting to play with the architecture of what's thinkable - in sf or otherwise. bodies get hacked. (it's my first year eligible so thanks in advance for looking!!)

this guy is an absolutely brilliant communicator. he doesn't need to convince me of right wing media hegemony and yet I still learned new things from this video.

I don’t have to fend off the desire to comply in advance. Anyone who knows me knows that, fortunately or unfortunately, I would rather die than let someone I don’t respect tell me what to do.
