Joel Weatherly in Edmonton, Canada, captured this whole-sky panorama of auroras produced by yesterday's extreme geomagnetic storm. What a view! Auroras were seen as far south as Mexico and as far north as Australia. Thank you, Joel!

So… @Glasgowin2024 just announced that Hugo Nominations are open until March 9th! I have 1 novelette and 5 short stories published in 2023 and eligible for a Hugo. If you want to read ONE thing, may I humbly recommend "A Short Biography of a Conscious Chair".

Now THIS is what I want in an anthology! Chunky anthologies for the win!!!

[Planet Scumm @planetscumm]

Les Miserables who?

New brick just dropped: Planet Scumm's second anthology is more than twice the size of the last one. Madness, we tell you! Get the prettiest new addition to your shelves and start the new year right, with stellar sci-fi!

My story “One Week Before the Election” is in the @jes6ica solarpunk anthology Sunshine Superhighway, and uncharacteristically for my short fiction, everything ends happily.

[Aaron Emmel @justicioaje]

A few years ago, I wrote a story about techniques that authoritarian governments use to control their populations, and now it's back in the colossal and colossally awesome @planetscumm EVERYTHING! VOL 2.
