It’s a great time to read speculative fiction.

We asked over 50 authors about the most iconic SFF books of this century. Here's what they had to say.

@imnotdeedee she’s glowing!!!

[Hannah Smoot @hgsmoot]

@JodieValade @GennaContino I think it’s very clear what’s right, and that’s not elevating bigotry from a high schooler. Injuries happen every day in sports. Don’t use that to add to the pile on when trans people are already being villified and murdered for existing.

i keep thinking about how when i was covering marginalized communities in charlotte, editors talked like our bad coverage was decades behind us. no one could truly fathom why sources didn’t want to talk to me, why there was no goodwill between us and the community. this is why

[Hannah Smoot @hgsmoot]

Saddened but not surprised to see @theobserver write a glowing profile on bigotry. Charlotte deserves better.

[devna bose @devnabose]

there are no words to describe how heinous this is, under the guise of journalism. make no mistake — it’s not. not a single trans person quoted. the observer should be ashamed of themselves.

Kudos to these journalists. For the first year+ of my time covering ~affordable housing~ I qualified for some of the income-restricted units I was writing about.

When I left I still couldn't afford the average 1-bedroom in the city. This work shouldn't bankrupt people.

McClatchy made the decision “based on changing reader habits and our relentless focus on providing the communities we serve with local news and information they can’t get elsewhere.”

[Charlotte Observer News Guild @observerguild]

We are frustrated and disappointed to learn that @McClatchy has chosen to lay off one of our most veteran staffers — with less than two weeks’ notice.

Days after I started @MSTODAYnews, @KRRoyals told me the health team had gotten ahold of important data, thanks to @HilltopInstitut.

This is what we found: For more expensive procedures, Blue Cross generally pays UMMC far less than other private insurers. https://t.co/AVdq6KveMZ

Last month, I visited rural hospitals across Mississippi on the brink of closure. The stories were harrowing — empty hallways, shrinking staff and low patient counts. One thing was consistent: Their closures would devastate the communities they serve. https://t.co/kIcqzefH0n

So so excited for @observerguild!! Congrats y’all!!

[Charlotte Observer News Guild @observerguild]

🚨BREAKING: We have reached a tentative agreement with McClatchy! 🐝
It’s a difficult time for journalists, so we’re grateful to have negotiated a contract that provides much-needed raises and protections for workers at @theobserver.

Come see The Good Place creator Michael Schur at Park Road Books tomorrow! (I'll be there too, come see me!)

[Hannah Smoot @hgsmoot]

Hey folks! Today was my last day at @theobserver — I've loved getting to tell stories in Charlotte over the last three years. I'm excited to keep reading stories from my colleagues as I adjust to life in Charlotte outside of the news biz!

[Hannah Smoot @hgsmoot]

@jonmalexander @theobserver Congrats!! Have loved working with you and can't wait to keep following along
