2025 Short Stories Thread:

1. "The Secret Ingredient" - @lunastation.bsky.social Issue 061 (March)

A soft and sweet Queer Contemporary Fantasy Romance about finding the courage to fall in love.

www.lunastationquarterly.com/issues/061/

Cover of Luna Station Quarterly Issue 061, it features art of a woman with long, flowing, pale blue hair. She is standing with her arms up, hands behind her head and her face turned toward her left arm, expression rhapsodic. Her mostly nude body is shaded in hues of pink, the cover a blatant tie-in with Trans Pride colors.

I may be the exact target audience but uhhh Frankenstein (2025) is probably one of my top 3 films of all time.

I've never been so literally stunned by a film. I've never been so swept up in a story I knew so well. A marvel in & for every sense.

Such high expectations, all of them surpassed.

Told someone in a recent staff training that, if my supervisor told me tomorrow that I would be required to use AI in my job, I would immediately start planning my exit strategy. That I would quit my job rather than use AI.

They were shocked. I was shocked that their response wasn't similar.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.

Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers

Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

Tonight we drank bourbon and listened to Run the Jewels on vinyl while I made peanut butter bread from "Baking Yesteryear" by B. Dylan Hollis.

The world is scary right now, but there's still this. There's still love.
