We got a bit behind on social media posts. Sorry!!! Here come some stories

Check out this wonderful story from @ioannaonline.bsky.social

Post, donate, resist, wake up your friends, your family, anything helps. It's not too complicated a situation to know that killing 60,000 people is wrong

Do something. Anything. As much as we love ghosts and resurrection and necromancy and preserving consciousness in the Cloud in our speculative fiction, the real dead cannot be brought back. All the beauty of their long lives has been cut short

20,000 children dead (plus likely 40,000 adults). Just in 2 years. Not to mention the 70+ before that

None are free until we all are

According to Wikipedia, there were 62 school shootings in the US in 2024, with 28 deaths. Doing the math, that means Isr**l has been doing an average of 61 school shootings (based on US death avg) EVERY DAY on Palestinian children for the last 2 years. Don't look away

A Song to Rival the Gods — IfTheresAnyone “Tell me how I die,” Mitra asks again as she looks up to the sky. Her calloused hands, worn from years of carrying a blade, are warm in mine, and I lean into it as we watch the stars. The city below i...

Two Songs Before the Airlock Cycles — IfTheresAnyone We gave Dougherty two songs before we left him to the black, no time for more with sixteen packed into the union hall and sipping unauthorized O2 tapped from the transit bay.

Happy labor day.
Want some stories about unions and solidarity?
Start with my latest, about a wildcat union wake in space from the latest volume of @iftheresanyoneleft.bsky.social
www.iftheresanyoneleft.com/stories/rkdu...

This story is built around 2 folksongs: The well known Whiskey in the Jar, and the less popular Parting Glass. I chose that one because it's personal to me. I have sung that song and wept at the passing of my closest friend's mother, and on the farewell evening of @viableparadise.bsky.social

Unions in spaaaace!
