#DYK? Trilobites ruled the Earth longer than the dinosaurs! It took three major mass extinctions to end trilobites’ more than 250-milion year evolutionary lifespan. Join Museum Curator Melanie Hopkins to explore these arthropods through the Museum’s extensive collection of trilobite specimens.

A very prominent anthologist once yelled at me for saying so but I still think we need more presses releasing weird/horror collections
I have a short story collection ready to submit. I have a list, but curious if anyone has favorite presses (who accepted unsolicited subs) for speculative horror 👀

Also I need this (very very badly) (for beetle reasons) (the reasons are "What would you put in the locket?" "A photo of a beetle")
Elytra Locket — Eli Betchik
Sterling silver bessbug elytra* molded from an ethically sourced specimen and turned into a hinged locket. Each locket comes with an 18” sterling chain as well as a sterling wire insert which can snap...

ALLLLLLL of this. Fucking off and doing my own thing and slowly fostering a community around me of like-minded freaks and people who love books has made a world of difference for me in terms of my writing.
LRT I've been thinking a lot about how much my art leveled up when I finally found the artistic types I actually wanted to be in conversation with
it's an interesting contrast to when I was querying, most of the community had the same business goals (getting an agent etc) and not artistic intent

Just remembering how when I went to talk to that local high school last week one of the kids asked "So in THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST how come you made the main character so old?"
And I almost began my answer with "Look, you little shit" but I did NOT

I LOVED THIS STORY SO MUCH
"A Feast for Mandrakes" by Jennifer Mace is a story with a delightfully non-human character voice. Check it out in our June 2025 issue:

The summer is dying, and so are you.

this might be helpful in illustrating the difference between looking at buying subscriptions as “buying content” vs. seeing it as “investing in writers” or even “building new media orgs to last”
Running any media organization is expensive, especially when we pay freelancers industry-standard rates. We were running at a loss until our subscription drive in October, and we're looking at around $33,000 in expenses for 2025.
That is before we pay ourselves.

Yes, it is paywalled! And every time y'all point this out, we will reiterate that writers and artists deserve to be paid for their work. We are an independent publication run and owned by workers. Also A LOT OF OUR CONTENT IS FREE.
Plus, you can read single articles for $2. Including this one.
