I fear this is too obvious, I know it needs to be said: being AGAINST AI-generated art is GOOD giving MONEY to HUMAN ARTISTS is BETTER I commissioned a lot of art, 2022–2023, around 70 illustrations. I paid what I could (I wanted to pay more) Do *you* want to pay artists and writers more?

Hello social medias...

You may not be aware a major Cat 5 hurricane struck an area that normally doesn't get them. The eye passed directly over Carriacou and Petit Martinique.

The devastation is tremendous. The need is great.

You can help and make a difference:

New from Reckoning 8, “It’s in the Blood” by Susan Kaye Quinn is a story about fighting the bad with everything you’ve got. We’ve bought work in the past that’s come out months later and felt newly relevant, but this is one we needed yesterday and we’ll need tomorrow: reckoning.press/its-in-the-b...

"It was a terribly tight fit. But I managed. The behemoth struck me but our machine held its own. When it spat fire, I shot water from my chest. When it tried to uproot trees, I bound it with strong cords." we were 100% flattened in a good way by Oluwatomiwa Ajeigbe's poem. now you can be too.

“I will not use my office to the fullest extent allowable but my opponent will” is a really bad takeaway actually. Just pack the court man.

This story instantly disarmed and then completely wrecked me. It pushed all my lapsed Catholic / pseudopagan / #landback / anticolonial / Latin American magic realist buttons at once

We're still at $188/month, just $12 shy of our peak level of funding back in fall of 2022. I still hate fundraising. And we can survive at this rate. So maybe I'll quit bothering you about this. Incredibly grateful to those of you who signed on even at $2 or $3/month. Thank you!

In fact, if you are going to have a mat for a lawn, then the new rule should be that not only do you dress like this at all times, but you must also play croquet on it at least once a week and have proper topiary - cupids, animals, the full works. You owe us that much for the leafblowers and mowers.

Please listen to me very carefully right now: Learn to take and celebrate small short wins, to build momentum and morale, or you and everyone you need to fight beside you will be burned out, demoralized, and demotivated before the next big opportunity comes along.

Media commentators frequently argue that the brown and black stripes of the progress flag are inappropriate as they reference people of colour.

Aside from the fact that inclusion is vital to a healthy movement, it’s rarely mentioned that the black strip also represents people with HIV/AIDS.

Support for Reckoning has flagged a bit since our 2022 fundraiser. We don't want to roll back payrates--we want to pay more, so more marginalized folks can have room to write about environmental justice and teach us how to be better! Please help if you can? reckoning.press/one-more-cal...
