"If power were trust…If it weren't all these arrangements - one above the other - kings and masters and mages and owners - It all seems so unnecessary. Real power, real freedom, would lie in trust, not force." -Le Guin, Tehanu #CurrentRead
"We must learn to keep the balance. Having intelligence, we must not act in ignorance. Having choice, we must not act without responsibility.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Farthest Shore #CurrentRead

To neglect one’s history is also to neglect one’s destiny.
You, O eternal Trinity, are a deep sea, into which the more I enter the more I find, and the more I find the more I seek… O eternal Godhead, what more could you give me than yourself? -Catherine of Siena

It's impressive how many short stories by Philip K. Dick have turned into brainy, slightly paranoid, but ultimately clever and entertaining movies. It's a shame nothing like it resulted for Ray Bradbury.
We launched with no fees while paying authors and will always keep doing that as well. We, like every other lit journal, make no money. We lose thousands a year. But we signed up for this on purpose because paying authors and being a platform for progressive authors is important.
Just a reminder, we don’t charge submission fees and we pay writers a little bit. This is a huge part of our ethos and always will be.

Going back to church after the pandemic was strange. Here's the story of how I ended up back in the (proverbial) pews. Thanks @CTmagazine for publishing it.
“During any season of life when I’ve been separated from like-minded Christians, my faith starts to feel alien… Wait, you believe a man was God, and rose from the dead? Like, his blood and guts cooled and then his heart just started beating again?” christianitytoday.com/ct/2023/august…
I had NO idea this was being recorded.....
MAJOR LIFE UPDATE - for the remainder of the strike @StephenAtHome, @jimmyfallon, @sethmeyers, @iamjohnoliver & I are joining forces for a new podcast called @StrikeForceFive. Hear the first episode tomorrow 8/30. ALL proceeds (thanks to @Casamigos and @Mintmobile) go to support…
Shelf Awareness calls The Last Language "a smart intellectual riddle and a mystery with the highest of stakes. Readers will find it unforgettable." shelf-awareness.com/theshelf/2023-…
So many Christians post-Covid have found it hard to return to church on Sunday mornings. I get it. The church has become a painful or frustrating place for many b/c it is felt to be perfunctory in its worship or tone-deaf to the real needs of the world. This prayer is for them.
I finished my full length poetry manuscript last night!!! Ahhh!! She's ready to be submitted places! Have any leads for me for pubs that would like to read my work? <3
Today is the high-water mark of the summer in TV and Film. That's not because of the new Mission Impossible film or the Barbie or Oppenheimer movies. It's because we get to watch new episodes of #Bluey! 🥳🥳🥳

Certain professions are more attractive to abusers than others. Ministry in independent churches & nonprofits are among the easiest to get into. Why anyone would be against greater scrutiny, accountability, and safeguards is beyond me.
Our family has loved watching the #JuniorBakeOff series at night before bed. It's always such a sweet bunch of kids: so kind, so generous, so fun, so joyful, so ridiculously talented at baking and so inspiring to our own kids. What a gift of a show to the world. @BritishBakeOff
