Just putting it out there that if you loved my #solarpunk novella ANOTHER LIFE, you could nominate it for the Ursula K Le Guin Prize for Fiction. Last year's winner was a @StelliformPress book!

Nominated books should:
"Reflect the concepts and ideas that were central to Ursula’s own work, including but not limited to: hope, equity, and freedom; non-violence and alternatives to conflict; and a holistic view of humanity’s place in the natural world.

Author @BrightFlame talks about the setting of her SOLARPUNK CREATURES story "Thank Geo"

"Everyone is considered kin in the Threads since mutualism and interconnection across the Web of Life are foundational. While I picture the Threads in the far Northeast of Turtle Island, they could be anywhere. I’ve written more than a dozen stories set in the Threads, each exploring different timeframes and different problems and aspects of community."

“This year’s collection of stories features a diverse range of characters and perspectives, from beekeepers and cooks to families and communities. But they all share a common thread: a belief in the power of hope to overcome even the most daunting challenges.”

This is the face of a pup who’s not going to let some arbitrary calendar date change the way she lives her best pup life. (But she has suggested that I make a #NewYearsResolution for more scritches and more walks)

It’s still cold and rainy outside, but we’re staying nice and cozy inside. Winter is for the birds. (Not the dogs.)

A glimpse into the landscape of Otra Vida! In ANOTHER LIFE, my characters construct a lake in Death Valley from desalinated ocean water—this real lake came from Hurricane Hilary.

“A stunning — but fleeting — lake has formed in California's Death Valley”

The Ursula K LeGuin Prize for fiction has been announced, and it’s @StelliformPress author Rebecca Campbell for her novella ARBOREALITY! 🎉

“In her masterful and profoundly ethical stories, Campbell asks us what might be saved, what must be saved, and what it will take to do so.”

Shadows during today’s #AnnularEclipse in Albuquerque

#SolarEclipse #EclipseShadows #Eclipse2023

A wood floor with a line of a dozen crescents of light
A rock and grass. The shadows cast on the rock are almost a spiral of crescents.
