Does anyone have a book recommendation for eco-rebellion? I’m looking for something similar to @madihaab.com’s “Heat Devils” from our Issue 17. Fast-paced and action-packed with a focus on taking down corporations that have ruined the planet. Any ideas? 🌱🧡

Quite a cool thing - my Scottish folklore eco-dystopian tale The Loneliness of Water is included in the new Advanced Language & Literature, for US School/College students - not sure of exact context, but so interesting to see it in such a wide ToC! ✨ store.macmillanlearning.com/us/product/A...

a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture

The arthropods must be central to the story. If they could be replaced and the story would be virtually unchanged, this is not the right place. 🧡

Just noticed that Hexagon's MYRIAD zine series is now available for purchase as individual ebooks at $4 a pop. I wrote a weird little thing for the Necropolis volume edited by @rlsummerling.bsky.social, but you can't go wrong with any issue.

If you don't already know, @almosthomefree.bsky.social's done art for @silviamg.bsky.social, @hexagonmagazine.bsky.social and many of your favourite comics. Fun fact, these two pieces made me says YES. I want this for my little book too 😭 (images owned by Nickolej, and from his website)

Donate to Help Archita and Her Mom Rebuild Their Lives, organized by tehseen baweja Hey Everyone! My name is Tehseen and I publish an online magazine called T… tehseen baweja needs your support for Help Archita and Her Mom Rebuild Their Lives

Fellow Calcuttan writer/editor Archita Mittra is in desperate need of financial help. She recently lost her father, her home was damaged in the recent rains, & her mother's in hospital. They don't have insurance, & she's a freelancer. I can vouch for her. Please share widely & donate:

Running low on copies of Gardener, my big weird space western, so I’m doing a bit of a sale for it. Use code BIGGARDENERSALE on the site for 30% off, but only until next week!

If you like slow-burn, character driven sci-fi, this one’s for you. And it just so happens to be a big fancy hardcover too

Obviously you should buy Necropolis from @hexagonmagazine.bsky.social but while you're there have you considered getting Duel edited by @thisisguan.bsky.social with stories from @faithallington.bsky.social @carlc75.bsky.social Huijia Li, @livstrom.bsky.social and also me.

Thanks to Rex for spotting this one! Necropolis contains 5 stories about strange, decaying cities and is now available for purchase at Hexagon's patreon!
