Violet Affleck: "To confront the Long COVID crisis I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers and mask mandates in county medical facilities. And most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason." 🔥🔥🔥

7 years ago a dozen people showed up to do a 2-mile walk through a Minneapolis neighborhood and check out the cats peeking out their windows.
Hundreds of people now attend and it's a thing.

My laptop died this morning. I’ll be taking it to a business that specializes in revenants. (It seems worth a shot as it’s only 2 years old.) One way or the other, I’m going to be limping along for a few days. My apologies for any slow responses. It may take me a beat.

Often people with low empathy are damaged in ways that makes them incredibly and almost perpetually unhappy. Tbh, lack of empathy doesn’t mean unemotional. It just means they live in an emotional bell jar. They can’t even see the pain they cause others. There’s pain/ feelings are all.

I just sent out the backer survey for STORYTELLER to 5% of backers as a sanity check before sending it to everyone else. Plus, the preorder store for STORYTELLER is now not only up and running, but also searchable in BackerKit!

Poking around on the interwebs, ran across someone complaining that these writers today are shoehorning fanfic tropes into their work cause they think it's cool and marketable and I'm like, my fellow child of the universe, the kids are growing up on fanfic. They cut their writing teeth on AO3.

The whole "you have to write every day to be a writer" is ableist as hell. Not everyone has that kind of time, not everyone has that kind of energy. Whoever came up with that clearly has spent less time than me curled up on the bathroom floor. You're a writer if you write. The end.

I'm looking for authors and author-wannabes of Middle Eastern heritage. By Middle Eastern I mean huge swathes of territory including Palestine, Egypt, Iraq--not even just one continent, right? And in re: heritage I'm talking both homebodies and diasporans. It's for a Middle Grade deal.

If we receive preorders for 50 copies of Storyteller, whether ebook or print, by the end of our 2 open calls in July, we'll select 10 stories from those submissions rather than the 8 currently slated @marthawells.bsky.social @ethereallad.bsky.social

We were on our way to adding two more stories with our 3rd stretch goal when the Kickstarter ended, which feels like a real missed opportunity. So we're running what I'm calling the Fifty in Fifty campaign.

We’ll be opening a pre-order store in the near future on Backerkit—the pricing & options will be a bit different from the kickstarter—and the complete details on the open call will be released mid-month, but I’ve already released the dates & some general guidelines

I’m overwhelmed both by the amount of work needed to get us to this point & the communal energy that compelled me to make the effort. And then there are the number of backers, authors, and well wishers who provided support along the way, as well as the enthusiastic promotion work by my co-editors!

We also have a web portal Julia, our Essential Dreams Press intern, and I are currently working on (with curated Tanith-related content, including a “where to start with Tanith” guide). and a Facebook community, called "A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology," that now includes a Tanith Lee book club chat.

Thank you to everyone who helped pull the STORYTELLER kickstarter over the finish line and made it such a success! We have 424 backers, or I as prefer to call them, readers! We unlocked 2 stretch goals, which means we’ll be paying all authors $.10 a word and will be filling 8 open call slots.

As of a few hours ago we reached our second stretch goal: we'll be paying all the authors $.10 a word! With only 26 hours left, I’m not sure if we’ll make the next one, which would add 2 more stories to the open call, but either well, I’m completely thrilled 🌈

Our Tanith Lee tribute anthology's Kickstarter ends in 36 hours! Counting down in hours is a whole other level of "we're close." I can't thank you enough for your support.
We currently have 360 backers, or as I prefer to call them, future readers of STORYTELLER.

Just want to point out that the white-guy-doing-blackface-to-examine-racism book that is definitely going to generate a ton of hate-posts on here is ... self-published. So dunk-posts and hate-posts are literally its entire advertising campaign. It's okay to let foolishness scream into the void.

Hamas has been avowedly, intentionally genocidal toward Israel for a long time. It's part of their governing strategy. What the US in particular can't seem to bring itself to say yet is that Israel's position under Netanyahu et al. is now a mirror image of Hamas's.

“The Gorgon” is a wild, strange, subtle and also brutal story by Tanith Lee that led me to other extraordinary works, such as “Biting the Sun,” which collects her singular novels of a corrupted, far-future utopia. Please consider supporting this exciting anthology tributing her work.
