Folks, please don’t tell artists they shouldn’t be making or selling their art right now. For many, it’s how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether it’s a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. It’s part of the heart of humanity.

Let’s have more straight talk.

We are way past political differences.

It’s us against the fascists.

the world in general would be in a far better place if more people simply read Pratchett and internalised what "just because it's funny doesn't mean it isn't serious" actually means

Against gold fabric, a stack of Solaris paperbacks by Premee Mohamed: THE SIEGE OF BURNING GRASS, BENEATH THE RISING, A BROKEN DARKNESS and THE VOID ASCENDENT. The white Solaris logo is in the bottom left corner.

Are you looking for a stack of genre-convention defying Premee-ium speculative fiction?

Look no further!

Come get @premeemohamed.com's military Pteranodons, REALLY messed up co-dependent friendships, searingly prescient examinations of war and pacifism, eldritch cosmic horrors and SO much more!

We had just discovered that place a year or so before they closed. The food was amazing.

Hey! It's midnight on the east coast, so it's release day. Thanks to @undertow.bsky.social for being such a fantastic publisher. Thanks to family, friends, and fellow writers for their support. The short fic grind has ups and downs, but it's a blast. Fricken love what we do. Thanks for reading.

I don’t think I have seen any eggs, but there does seem to be a lot of very tiny ones this season.

Against a blue background, the text:
""Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms
such as you have named...  but a dying
culture invariably exhibits personal 
rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of 
consideration for others in minor matters... 

This symptom is especially serious in that
an individual displaying it never thinks of 
it as a sign of ill health but as proof of 
his/her strength".

Robert Heinlein - 'Friday' (1982)"

Something to make you think - from Robert Heinlein.

Jeffrey Ford’s The Well-Built City trilogy, some of the best fantasy novels of all, are about resisting both literal fascists and the figurative fascists in our heads, and how much work is necessary for both. I have a long essay about that coming soon, hopefully.

Brian Wilson was my favorite musician. I was lucky enough to see him play live many times. He will be missed.

Reading through the comments and I was entirely incorrect.
