Now I've moved servers I should re-promote Sliced Up Press' first ever writing grant, aimed at LGBTQIA2S+ horror writers - details on our website at sliceduppress.com/2023-lgbt-writers-grant/

If Mary Shelley could write Frankenstein with Lord Byron swanning around in the background doing Lord Byron shit, you can definitively finish writing your work in progress. I believe in you!!
Laird Barron is very sick and in hospital. As a full-time writer he's without health insurance in America's horrible system. He needs our help. Laird is a wonderful writer, a huge supporter of others, and a great friend to many of us. Please donate if you can and please share whether you're able to donate or not.

A buddy of mine just encountered neopronouns in A Voyage to Arcturus, a sci-fi novel

from 1920

I'd love to see a list of mastodon instances that are explicitly welcoming to Black voices and POC voices, ideally ones run or moderated by POC.

White allies can spread the word about instances that are harmful to BIPOC, but personally I don't have suggestions for where people looking for a welcoming instance can go. All I can suggest is the #BlackFriday and #BlackJoy hashtags, which are great, but not the same as having an affirming local instance.

Does such a list exist? Boosts welcome.

Ai Jiang and I will be editing WILTED PAGES, an anthology of Dark Academia, for Shortwave Publishing next year. Look out for announcements in spring '23!
There's good and bad stuff about wikipedia but one bright spot is that they've kept this joke running on the "list of cetaceans" article for at least 10 years
Publications with Submission Grinder listings: we are trying something new, and rolling it out slow as we try it out, where an authorized rep of a publication will be allowed to update some information. For now just the "oldest pending submission date" with plans to expand.
Huge thanks to @lmanusos for mentioning me (and so many other great short fiction reviewers) in her wonderful writeup at Book Riot: "Year-End Short Speculative Fiction Roundup: An Overview Of Awards EligibilitySeason" ---- https://bookriot.com/short-speculative-fiction-roundup/
An Overview of Short Speculative Fiction Awards Eligibility Season

In late fall, writers and literary magazines begin to post work that is eligible for awards. Here's a guide to that tradition.
