Have 24 seconds of a blissed-out duck, you deserve it.

Sometimes all you need is a connection to home.
When Ele spots the blue skin of another anthozoa, she seeks them out. Who she finds isn't what she expected, but will the old man Bardo prove to be what she needs?
Read "The Old Man of the Sea" by @thelargestduck.bsky.social in this quarter's issue!

I've been writing for many years, but it wasn't until this year that I've gotten anything published

Ah, that thing in fiction where the characters have to be idiots for the plot to work, except I'm listening to a podcast or reading an article and it's "The speaker has to have huge gaps in their critical thinking to get to what they want, which is the rant."

Really liked this book when I read it earlier this year. Glad to see it's getting the recognition it deserves

This is the first Ele (she's the paladin) story where I felt I had a handle on the character and knew what I was doing with the story, so it feels really nice to see it in a published state. I have many more Ele stories, both completed and in the works, and hope to get those published someday!

A line art drawing of a high femme princess leaning against a marble pillar, with a tall butch warrior in leather armor leaning over her. They gaze at each other lovingly.

Zeynep ain't much for talking. Kawtar wants to be heard *at all costs*.

At the demon-haunted barrier between our world and the outer dark, they found each other.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Sometimes you do shots with your friend for their birthday. Sometimes you eat spicy-ass peppers and sober up for your friend’s birthday. I will not be taking questions.

think we've reached the inevitable point in genre book discourse when i just need everyone to read things they enjoy instead of reading things they hate to get mad at. but the fact that this happens every time points to a fundamental problem with... discoverability? but also willingness to engage

Screenshot: Death Stairs • Join Rich Yanizeski • 16h I'm sure everyone is fine... Got off the subway in Georgia to see this inviting escalator. (I chose the stairs) Photo shows an escalator in a subway with what look like blood splatters on the steps

Nothing to see here. Move along.
