Feels a good time to say that I'm 1000% on the side of
-humanity vs genocidal regimes
-biodiversity vs climate-destroying companies
-human artists vs plagiarizing machines
-all sentient life vs cheap convenience
I'm a humanist, always, and it's not within me to back down on these

y'all, the tide is rising, the slush team are testing their fishing gear, & the gulls are screaming, bc THE OFF-SEASON: AN ANTHOLOGY OF COASTAL NEW WEIRD opens to subs on Monday.
First waves are for marginalized writers (Jul 31-Aug 6). Beach opens to all writers Aug 7
🖤🦀🌊🦀🖤
Previously unpublished, ESL, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and/or other marginalized writers are strongly encouraged to submit. I believe that the early subs have a slight advantage as they set the tone the others are compared to, so the first week is for YOU. Open to all writers from Aug 7-28

And this is the other dog.
Anyway, we signed the adoption contract, so I guess she's our idiot now.

Me: We need fewer cars, less driving & better cities.
Strawman: We could never completely ban cars.

Omg my first proper thunder storm in way too many years. I forgot how good they smell! And that beautiful eerie light! And how the trees all thrash and dance around like they're just gonna leave. What a fucking drama! I've missed thunder storms so much 😭😭😭

We used a very long leadtime on this one to make sure everyone had time to write for it. There are no invited authors - we'll be filling the whole anthology from the submissions.

Took 2 days off social media, have read only a fraction of what went down, & just want to say, good morning humans who create from the heart & soul & personal experience🧡
I love y'all for standing up for real art & for screaming such a resounding NO THANK U at machine forgeries

All the responses to the
@apexmag
Strange Machines anthology have now been sent. We were using a new system for subs & had a few glitches, so if you haven't heard from us let me know and I'll chase it up. Thanks for all your amazing submissions. It was an honor to read them.🖤

Nice move from Apex Mag to make sure no one feels they have to include their physical address or phone number on submissions! ❤️🔥
With an ear to some recent discourse, Apex has updated our submission guidelines to make it clear that the inclusion of your address and telephone number is not necessary on submissions.

I still maintain that the wildlife is by far the best thing about the US!? I don't understand why there are not statues to birds, moths, racoons etc EVERYWHERE, or why churches are not wildlife conservation temples, & why there are not huge parades & holidays dedicated to nature.
