I just want to live comfortably. Eat when I'm hungry. Buy a treat now and then. Get a new computer when one craps out. Phone too. A phone that'll last more than 2 years. Pay bills on time. Pay more than the minimum on a credit card. I hate this timeline. Vitamins won't fix this level of tired.

*takes deep breath* *ululates* WE ARE OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS hornedlarkpress.moksha.io/publication/...
Mokshahornedlarkpress.moksha.ioThread, and if you are an author who was published by Daily Science Fiction (DSF), which is now defunct, you may want to check if your stories have been scraped and hosted on this new site that is NOT seeking permission and is making itself impossible to contact directly. FINISH THEM. ⬇️
Marie BrennanEspecially since they say they'll take things down if you ask -- which they shouldn't need to say if they asked for permission in the first place -- and then give you no way to do so! You'll have to contact Cloudflare: www.cloudflare.com/trust-hub/re...
There's a website called Science Fiction Weekly (dot com) that appears to have reprinted a bunch (maybe all?) of Daily Science Fiction's stories. They claim they did so with author permission. They are lying. If you were published in DSF, maybe join a bunch of us in sending takedown notices?
Thank you @rsagarcia.bsky.social for the lovely words about my book. 😊 Pre-orders are open now: www.starsandsabers.com/books/the-as...
