Michigan friends: Reckoning will once again appear at the Oakland County Earth Day Rally and fair, organized by @michiganlcv.bsky.social at the Royal Oak Farmer's Market on April 18. If you've been despairing that nobody cares, this is the place to shake it off! Don't let the fascists get you down

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

If you write speculative fiction with environmental justice themes, you should check out @reckoningmag.bsky.social (if you haven't already).

Promo collage for the Happy Endings reading series. There’s a potato sprouting, someone dancing in ragged clothes, the rear end of a dog, some glitchy textures, a moist mushroom, a child crawling around, and the cutout block text β€œHappy Endings”. Oh and bones. And fur. It’s all faded together so it has a unified atmospheric look.

I’ll be at the Make-Out Room in San Francisco with Happy Endings this Tuesday, 7:15pm, reading from my forthcoming collection The Wildcraft Drones (out May 21 from @stelliform.press ). The theme is β€œgoing feral” 🌿

Some very generous person or persons just donated $50 to Reckoning using PayPal Giving Fund, which provides no means of figuring out who or why! So for lack of a better avenue through which to say so: thank you very much, mysterious benefactor(s)! We appreciate you

As someone from hurricane country, I've survived no few hurricanes and too many carpetbaggers in their aftermaths. This piece is wonderfully and frustratingly accurate. I hope "the main character has a punchable face" comes across as the high compliment I intend it to be.
