One of my absolute favorite AWP moments was the @Wigleaf @hexliterary reading. As @Ruth_Joffre said, it was “All bangers, no skips.” Pictured: @CoCo4AfroPuffs @weoleson @hazmatcat & Ruth. I was blown away by the power, grace, beauty, & emotion of these stories. ❤️👏🏼✨💫

The End of the Universe. The farthest reaches. The absolute limit in travel. And a source of much speculation. What would we see? Is there anything out there? Well, now we have the answer. And it is not what you expect. #scifi by @Ruth_Joffre nature.com/articles/d4158…

For the next 4 days, @haymarketbooks is offering ~*free*~ ebook versions of titles that explore Palestine’s history & struggle for justice on their website. I’m seeing a lot of misinformation, false statements, and inflammatory language around what’s going on right now. READ.
