Right, that last repost reminded me that given my rent shortfall (like ~$1k short...) that buying something from Huldra House also helps me dig out of it right now. For immediate effect, best to go through the website store directly: www.huldrahouse.com/shop/ Because I get that money immediately.

There are more *diagnosed* autistic people because they changed the diagnostic criteria and started diagnosing people other than white boys with autism. Also: 40 years of "awareness" campaigns. That's it. Mystery solved.

shout out to all the parent writers. to all the projects started and then withered because a kid had a cold, or fell when you were jotting an idea down, or started a bath and jumped in still dressed. for the conferences and fellowships and sub windows missed. shout out to y’all who keep coming back.

I'm basically begging my #HugoAward -nominating friends: Please consider On Spec Magazine for Best Semiprozine this year. For 35 years, @onspecmag.bsky.social has provided a venue for a uniquely Canadian voice in English-language SFF. It's a labour of love and exists precariously. onspec.ca

If you've got stories to send in and want a swift response now's the time to do it. Looking for the unsettling, the ambiguous, the stuff that actively resists explanation. Dark fantasy, bleak science fiction, unsettling horror, and the weird speculative stuff that defies genre.

I walked until I found a creek. When I bent to take a drink, a girl who looked like me in the surface of the water said, "Hey! You're more awesome than you think!" I took her home; she lives in the mirror and continues to give me pep talks.
