right now!! Anti-government demonstration and solidarity with victims of child abuse.

(There is a recent ongoing scandal that so far resulted in two high-ranking cronies resigning because they signed a pardon for a convicted abuser, probably due to his govt connections.)

Demonstration, street webcam photo. Nighttime shot of a huge crowd as far as the eye can see. (Different angle than the other pic.)

Today's story in my daily story/poem recs newsletter is my favorite story I read in January:

"The Pigeon Wife" by Samantha H. Chung in the 2023 Nov/Dec issue of F&SF, edited by Sheree Renée Thomas!

The best folktale retelling in recent memory & also about workers' rights, and a lot more.

Someone who was not my publisher set up a fake preorder for my latest book on Amazon.

Some of the information from the fake preorder, including a completely different item in place of the cover art, was imported into the real item.

If any of you is a real person who works at Amazon and can fix a listing after it was targeted by a scam like this, please let me know ASAP.

Yes, both my publisher and I have already reported it.

Also I think the New Yorker lets you read this without paywall (at least it let me) & you should absolutely read it - Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha's escape from Gaza, in his own words:

When the current Hungarian govt was busy destroying the opposition, one of their targets were university film majors (yes, really).

Here are the current graduation works of TV Production BA students who had to transfer out, avail. for 72 hours worldwide.

Drag queens, sci-fi, horror, music, more!

I have been spending the past month working (a lot) to relaunch my daily story recs as a newsletter with the demise of Twitter. Built up well over a month of recs to post.

But IDK which service to use. Obvs not Substack. 5x/week emails need to be affordable. Is this a thing? Any comments welcome
