Yooo, this is so exciting! The Graven by @essahansen.bsky.social is an amazing space opera trilogy that has continued to stick in my mind long after finishing it. Can't WAIT to read another story set in this multiverse!

#AroWeek is winding down, but can we get one last big push for this anthology before it's over? Any boosts you can spare helps us put a book into the world that both serves to highlight an underrepresented group AND pay creators from that group to share their work!

Lovely interview of the wonderful @shellycampbell.bsky.social "We explore humanity through fiction. And sometimes the fiction is the buffer. It gives us a safe place … to practice getting out of our own narrow lanes and opening ourselves to exploring different perspectives and beliefs."

Saw something this weekend about accepting that authors will write with AI. No. Don’t accept it, don’t forgive them.

As a Star Trek fan and a scientist, I love this image, because Dr. Jemison is both a hero *AND* one of the few people for whom we can say "here she is doing her space job" in two totally different contexts. 🧪
