In time for Indie April , my audiobook is now available on @librofm ! Every purchase there helps independent bookshops keep afloat. If you like indigenous futurism, queer science fiction, or stories about found family and decolonization, this might be the book for you! I couldn't have done this without Isabel Salazar as co-narrator. She beautifully realizes the Loba Roja.

Cheryl Morgan, Dave McCarty Resign from WSFS’ Hugo Award Marketing Committee - File 770

WSFS’ Hugo Awards Marketing Committee (“HAMC”) members Cheryl Morgan and chair Dave McCarty have resigned. New chair Linda Deneroff says, “We are currently in a holding pattern. I have taken over leading the HAMC, but I still need to contact the other members of the committee to see if they wish to remain on it.”

@jenna

I kept noticing that so many of the emails (from the people making the award decisions!) had things in them along the lines of, "I've never read it, but it MIGHT be a problem..." and "I've never read it, but I've heard..."

Censorship is always based on ignorance-- not only the desire to remain ignorant of new ideas, but the opinions of people who have never actually read or viewed the books/film/art they are trying to censor.

I guess now we can only *hope* that the people who vote on #TheOscars actually spend a few hours watching all of the nominated films before voting. 😠🙄

2/🧵 For anyone wanting to read more about the backstory to this #HugoAwardsDebacle, this article gives more details about the specific authors, books, and short stories which were blocked from consideration and about the Committee's leaked emails.

Something which should also be scandalous on some level, imo, is that the Committee was voting on works they say they had never read. How can you fairly evaluate and compare stories you've never read?

Apparently, the Hugos are decided on book sleeve blurbs and social media posts.😠☹️
