True!
Elevated panoramic view of a rural coastal landscape at dusk, with rolling green hills and patches of farmland in the foreground. A narrow paved road winds through scattered houses and small buildings toward a bay on the left. The water is calm, with rows of aquaculture structures visible offshore. In the distance, layered hills and a faint shoreline stretch beneath thick, dramatic clouds lit by soft pink and orange light breaking through the sky.

Never did see it. There was a regular-sized chicken, however.

First night of Carnaval in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. Huge street party, much loud, so dancing, and the costumes! Brazilians are amazing. #Brazil #Brasil #Carnaval #Salvador #Bahia
Small wooden circular table sits on a colorful striped rug. On the table is a copy of P.A. Cornell’s retrofuturistic noir love story SHOESHINE BOY & CIGARETTE GIRL. The book is surrounded by a cup of tea, a bookmark, and a pair of reading glasses.
It’s my book birthday!

Those eyes, Asami.
Thank you!
My story is out today on Escape Pod! So thrilled, and it's narrated by Julia Rios and hosted by Mur Lafferty!
So honored.
Sophonts, rejoice! We have a fresh original for you today: "The Smell of the Planet I Was Born On" by @culagovski.net. What did the planet you were born on smell like? As for me, it was mostly cigarette smoke.
This guy was at Davos trying to sell "a verification device to fraud-proof money transfers" running on software that he vibe-coded but does not understand because he can't code.

A reminder that Nebula nominations are open and I had this short novella published in 2025 that is eligible! I'm deeply thankful of any and all consideration for this dark little thing 🖤
In the linked thread I also have some recommendation of stuff I liked published in 2025.
Movie you’ve watched more than six times, Hard Mode: No Star Wars or Trek, LOTR, or Marvel.
This year I've been reflecting upon and writing about my life as a neurodiverse author. Here's one of the most personal essays I've ever written about being on the spectrum. In addition, an updated version of my free booklet "Tips and Strategies for Neurodiverse Writers" is available.
A hand holds a copy of the book in a bookshop
And today's pick for my best new paperbacks of 2025 is Rakesfall by @vajra.me.
Defying categorisation, it's an incredible, mind-bending, @ursulakleguin.com Prize-winning tale of reincarnation and entwined souls, rooted in Sri Lanka but expanding across worlds.
