Kyiv underwent a massive Russian drone and missile terrorist attack, all targeting civilians throughout the night/morning. Several residential complexes were struck. Russia launches these attacks in the night to avoid air defences, maximize casualties, and to cause mass sleep deprivation torture.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? With some publishers, there's no such thing as advance royalties for to-be published books. This becomes more common after covid.

Hind Khoudary reports that since the (Israeli/US) 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' took over the distribution of aid in Gaza Israel has killed at least 300 Palestinians trying to collect food. 33 more murdered just today. There's nothing humanitarian about the GHF.

If you love speculative fiction, then you owe a huge debt to @strangehorizons.bsky.social -- a magazine that successfully brought SFF short fiction online and expanded our ideas of what genre can do. It launched my career and many others. And it's still amazing. www.kickstarter.com/projects/str...

The impact of Marco Leung Ling-kit's death on the 2019 Hong Kong movement was significant. @niaocollective.bsky.social speaks on this through the art & posters that appeared after he fell. Not an easy thread to read but an important one.

In case you aren't familiar with these #wuxia novels, Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre is Book 3 in Jin Yong's Condor Heroes trilogy, Book 1 being Legend of the Condor Heroes, & Book 2 being Return of the Condor Heroes. No English version of Book 3 yet! I highly recommend this 2019 #cdrama adaptation!

Authors! If your needs were taken care of and money was no object, what completely mad thing would you want to do to promote or otherwise add to your story? This is no time for taste or modesty. Really push the boat out: I want to be in awe of your hubris. #Writing #WeekendWriters #BookSky

I've been interviewed many times but am kind of amazed at this one, which manages to understand exactly what I am trying to do. "We do have a very strong tradition of political dissent. The feminists keep fighting and the queer rights activists keep fighting and we all keep fighting."

Turn it off. Stop using it. Turn it off. Stop. Stop. Stop. If every time I was wrong about something, a gallon of precious water was boiled into the sky, my neighbourhood got polluted and someone lost their job, people would stop asking me things.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can't negotiate with abusers. They will make unreasonable demands, and if you agree to them, they won't hold up their end of the bargain. This is as true for wifebeaters and bullies as it is for Putin and Netanyahu.

I don't want to 'utilize' AI. I don't want to become 'more efficient'. I don't want to outsource the process of actual thought to a machine. I want to struggle with my words and chip away at my own soul until something shining and glorious and mundane and fucking human emerges. That's being alive.

It just struck me that I can't write teen characters unless the story is spec fic. Probably because, when I was in high school, I wrote spec fic instead of school life, and it's become a habit.

For any authors/ readers concerned about Kobo's use of ai. If you're low on spoons, the key point is the ai they are using is NOT generative ai/ LLMs.

I find it kind of alarming that these tasks are to be carried out by army officers, instead of alredy established civilian experts in their respective fields.

This. Especially because publishers in financial trouble can limp on for a disturbingly long time, coasting (in part) on the slack writers cut them because they hope things will improve.

4 villains I've written: 1. An international spy/assassin. These days I'd have made him the main character. 2. The crown prince's brother and his underlings 3. A trio of popular high school boys 4. Mother of a princess, but she was mind-controlled (IIRC - wrote this story three decades ago)
