Justin Ling🆒️On the misinformation beat, we need to take stock of what's working — and what's not.
Relying on Facebook to run out fact-checks is most certainly not working. https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/death-to-the-fact-check

Dual citizen of Canada and the US. Living with my husband, step-son, two tiny dogs and two normal-sized cats. Book publicist since 2012 (horror, SFF, mystery, crime, romance, and more) I also privately coach authors. (She/Her)
And one final new book for this week.
Does anyone see my posts? My last few have had zero interaction at all. Not even well wishes for my parents in the hurricane. It seems unusual so I wanted to check.
Do I happen to know any #radiologists who have a quick sec? (Note: I don't expect people to work for free or anything, either, so even if you *are* a radiologist but you don't want to answer questions for free, that is all good and no hard feelings.)
My friend Tonya, who is on disability and has only limited ways to make money, has a GoFundMe for a graphics card/computer repair. I have chipped in $25 and it would be awesome if you could chip in a few bucks. It is a low total requested so it doesn't take much. Thanks!

August is over, and another 23 works read and reviewed. This month’s high points include a brief website slowdown possibly due to someone scraping the site to feed their AIs, which I will call Jean Jacket for no particular reason. Also, I finally catalogued and reboxed all my stored books. Learned an important lesson: if several hours into such a project, one’s body starts protesting, that doesn’t mean push on until the last six cases are dealt with. Interesting (to me) bit of data: while I’ve read lots of what I consider recent SF, and a fair number of books published in 2023, only six or seven of the books published in 2023 that I read thus far this year were SF. Need to work on that. Over at the other site, Young People Read Old SFF came in third in its Aurora Award category. I am quite pleased. If any young people would like to join the Young People, please contact me at jdnicoll@panix.com.Continued thanks to those who commissioned reviews and to my legion of patrons, for whose continued support over the last nine or so years I am very grateful. Patreon and donation links may be found here. Reviews may be commissioned here.
I hope my friends and family are doing well as #Idalia slowly leaves the state. I've checked in with my parents and they've got a little debris but that's it. More storms coming through today, but the worst should be behind them. Anyhow, the supermoon isn't helping with these high tides. Stay safe and dry, everyone. I'm thinking of you. 💜
