“I think the federal basic income program could be a nation-building program.”

We've seen study after study showing universal basic income works -- cheaper, more effective than current income programs. Doesn't disincentivize people from working. Reduces crime. Improves health. UBI now.

Ireland is locking down basic income for artists. Could Canada follow suit? | CBC Radio

Ireland has made permanent its three-year pilot program that gave monthly income payments to thousands of artists. Canadian artists are hoping to use that program's success to build momentum for guara...

I'd love for you to read my Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book during the Halloween season.

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

On Spec has long deserved recognition for best semiprozine at the Hugo Awards, but has never even made the ballot because it's Canadian and most Hugo voters are U.S.-based.

2026 will be your final opportunity to nominate an institution that has been an incubator for so much talent.

With our new issue, we are making the sad announcement that this will be the final year for On Spec. See www.onspec.ca for details.

Very sad to hear this. @onspecmag.bsky.social was my 1st fiction sale. Over the years I've been writing they published me four times & each one was a thrill. I'm certainly not alone among Canadian authors who placed their first story with On Spec. As a reader & a writer, thanks for all the stories!

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I was running a game last night so I wasn't able to check in live. Really curious to see how this campaign unfolds.

Nice! I'm going to start my day by day reread tonight with my ratty old pocket book.

I haven't read something by Stephen Graham Jones I haven't loved yet. Looking forward to getting to this one.
