It's a TRAP!
President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night toggled between being remarkably dull and profoundly racist. During a screed against undocumented immigrants, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) shouted at Trump, yelling, “You have killed Americans,” and “You should be ashamed.”

Oh! The Hugo novella category is usually a tricky one but I'd be grateful if you considered my novella DESCENT, published in Clarkesworld. Its on the BSFA longlist and the Locus Recommended Reading List and you can read or listen to it for free here:

My only eligible series for this year's Hugo Awards is thus the October Daye books, which had new material totally 242,840 words published in 2025. This included a new novel, SILVER AND LEAD, and several novellas. I am very proud of my work on this series.
Started my Hugo nominees. I'm not quite sure how to list "Dead Channel Sky" by clipping. in the Best Dramatic Presentation - Short Form category, especially the 'Studio or Network' field...does anyone have any advice? @charliejane.bsky.social perhaps?
Hugo Nominations are open!
These are the books I edited/published in 2025 and they're *all* worthy of consideration.
The three novellas at the top and the 5 novels in the second row are all eligible for Hugo consideration in their respective categories.
See the Alt-Text for more information!

Whoa! I knew I should have shelled-out for the Criterion Director's Cut!
That makes sense, thank you! You didn't seem like the type of person to "follower-shame"!
Totally agree (though the follower-count seems a little weird, like only the opinions of folks with high followers counts matter).
In BC years, did New Years' celebrations count up to the ball drop?
The Hip Hop communities never stopped writing protest songs.
