I cannot tell you how much I love talking to @charliejane.bsky.social about movies. She immediately understood why we had to talk about forced feminization and cute robots. And now you will too! Check out the latest episode of @ouropinions.bsky.social, wherever you get your pods!

After months of rumors, I can confirm that the "big 3" SF/F magazines of Asimov's Science Fiction, Analog Science Fiction and Fact, and Fantasy and Science Fiction have been purchased. The new owner is Steven Salpeter and a group of investors. 1/2 www.patreon.com/posts/123173...

If you want interesting time-travel, I loved God's Monsters, and The Lucky Peach @kellyrobson.com Survivors of ecological upon ecological disaster attempt to recover the surface of Earth, but funding stalls due to time travel becoming a way to reclaim the past. Also, the mc's prosthetics 🐙 !!!

Today when visiting with @samjmiller.bsky.social, I discovered that the term “cop shop” is apparently a Canadianism, like parkade. Very surprising! Do you disagree?

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's a gift for you: a free ebook copy of my rom-com short story Yours, Wickedly! dl.bookfunnel.com/xeidyqvll3 The link is good for the rest of today. :)

I had the honor of reading an early draft of @buehlmeister.bsky.social's Blacktongue Thief, and since then been thrilled to hear so many people raving about the series. You'd like it too: www.amazon.com/Blacktongue-...
