Having enjoyed two of the stories that appear in this collection, I have the collection as a whole on my short TBR list.
Locus Magazine“In a market saturated in novels, short fiction collections don’t always get the attention they deserve. MY DEAR HEART absolutely deserves yours.” @mondyboy74.bsky.social reviews Rachel Khong’s debut collection
Clarkesworld has been setting an example for other fiction mags for ages. How to hold an ethical stance. How to compete for the best writers. (They respond quickly and they keep increasing pay, their new target 15 c/word.) How to treat staff and readers. There's a reason they win so many awards.
ClarkesworldUltimately, we're hoping to add a few hundred new paid subscribers. That will let us complete the current cycle of pay increases, including a bump to 15 cents/word for fiction. Our target is October, but it is not the end. We'll be working on this until the pay rates are where they should be.
You’re Gonna like the Way You Look—or Else www.pointsincase.com/articles/you... LOL. Always hated those ads.
You’re Gonna like the Way You Look—or ElseAnd if you don’t, let’s just say we have ways to make you like the way you look. I fucking guarantee it.www.pointsincase.comSame year, and while I could go with the same pick, let's throw in Al Capone for variety. (Prompt: GIF from favorite film from year you turned 18.)
Robert De Niro as Al Capone with Baseball BatAlt: Robert De Niro as Al Capone with Baseball Bat, from the 1987 film, "The Untouchables"static.klipy.comSame sentiment exactly here. I've watched NOPE an absolutely bonkers number of times. One of my favorite films of the decade. Would like to see whatever is in store next.
Charlie Jane "Lessons in Magic and Disaster" Anders 🏳️⚧I loved NOPE. It might be my fav Jordan Peele movie. It bums me out that his fourth film as a director is described as being in limbo.
I love a lot of adaptations, from the faithful to the Hollywood reskins. But if I have to pick a favorite, it isn't even really an adaptation so much as it's about stagings of Shakespeare's plays: the far-too-overlooked Canadian comedy series, Slings & Arrows.
GargarinOn his birthday, what's your favourite film/TV adaptation of a #Shakespeare play ? I think mine might be the 1989 "Henry V" #filmsky it's a good mix of humour and passion and the battle scenes are brutally gripping.
This was tough. You'd think predictive text would be read without inflection, as though the voice doesn't quite know what it's going to say next or what it just said. But I hated that version. So I compromised and leaned a bit more into humanity.
