Hugo nominations end tomorrow! I appreciate if voters considered my Nebula finalist novella, Disgraced Return of the Kap's Needle, in their ballots! Thank you!

If you're eligible to vote, don't forget it! 🚀

Only a few hours left to nominate for this year's Hugo Awards. Nominations close today at 3 pm eastern time / noon pacific. www.lacon.org/hugos/

love the last sentence 💜

Don't forget to vote for best poem! A ton of writers worked hard to keep this category on the ballot, and with so many great magazines publishing spec poetry now, there's never been a better time to start reading some. Here's just one thread to get you started:

💜💜 are you going to LA?

As I finish filling out my Hugo ballot, I am incredibly grateful to Vanessa for highlighting some excellent poetry we published at @strangehorizons.bsky.social this year. There's so much of it, and it's all so varied and interesting. I've found some new favourites in Vanessa's thread below.
