3 authors whose work I love: Yume Kitasei (whose Twitter account seems to have gone away) @ChristiNogle @EqReader Note: Picking only 3 authors was extraordinarily difficult, so I picked some folks whose stories I've read recently and have lodged in my brain.

@vivianhchou @isabeljkim @DantonSix Ahh! I'm just seeing this message. I've been on social-media hiatus for a while. Thank you, Vivian! I love your work, too

Three authors whose work I love: @isabeljkim @ragland_writes @DantonSix Fun chain letter. Pass it on! 🤓

@liu_angela 🤣 Relatable content. If you find a solution, please share.

@ragland_writes Good point 😂 My definition of writer's confidence is writing more than three sentences without going back and rewriting everything😅

@Joduckwo I can corroborate.

I have found that doubling the amount of garlic a recipe calls for has never once backfired and has always made the recipe better

@hugospodcast @MattSheanWrites I think it's the use of slice-of-life techniques in science fiction. (In the past, slice of life has been almost entirely exclusive to non-speculative fiction.) Here's a list examples: otherworldsreviews.wordpress.com/2018/08/14/mun…. Ted Chiang's "Exhalation" probably fits the bill, too.

@MattSheanWrites @ragland_writes I'm curious about it as well.

Okay hive mind, hit me with Science Fiction sub-genres? And, go! Full disclosure, I'm contemplating a series of episodes focusing on different sub-genres, so feel free to volunteer yourself as expert/tribute for any of them.

@AiJiang_ I assure you; you aren't alone. 😅

Surely I'm not the only person who attempts to read 10 books at once right 🥹

This delightful little story by @ragland_writes in @clarkesworld is a warm cup of tea with a cupcake. But, also a philosophical meditation on qualia (in droids). And it's not that long, so you have no excuse not to go read it. Perfect thinking snack! clarkesworldmagazine.com/ragland_05_23/

I have a new story out today! "Better Living Through Algorithms," published in Clarkesworld. clarkesworldmagazine.com/kritzer_05_23/

Almost 10 years after my clueless teenage self submitted a terrible zombie story to Clarkesworld, it's surreal to see my name on the 200th issue of Clarkesworld Magazine!

@abigailkemske @clarkesworld Thank you very much, Abigail! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@ragland_writes @clarkesworld Lovely story!

#readingcommunity and #WritingCommunity, my #shortstory "Sensation and Sensibility," about two androids having tea, is available today @clarkesworld. I hope you enjoy! clarkesworldmagazine.com/ragland_05_23/

There have been multiple accusations that the cover art used for our recent issue is AI generated. We have removed and replaced the art while we investigate. The artist did sign a contract that included a statement that the work was not generated or assisted.

Check out my latest translation for @clarkesworld, 'Action at a Distance' by An Hao, in great company with work by @zanzjan, @NaomiKritzer, @HNTurtledove, @ragland_writes, @jachaseyoung, @meganflchee, @arleysorg, & more... clarkesworldmagazine.com/an_05_23/

I've been proud to be a Coloradan for a long time, and now, seeing this article in my feed makes me even prouder. "Right to repair" was one of the first issues I worked on when I was in law school. This is an important tech policy. apnews.com/article/colora…
