Closing July and welcoming August with this Q&A with Yeyet Soriano, whose dark, disturbing story, "Bonsai," graces https://t.co/tz7JyNkY7I. It was great fun to work with Yeyet on "Bonsai," and I am glad we get to know her more through this Q&A. https://t.co/Dwg31lCNxD
Is it a ghost story or a psychological mystery? Yeyet Soriano delivers both in "Bonsai," playing with each's genre conventions for maximum effect. "Bonsai" is Philippine Genre Stories' creepy July offering.

We have a brief Q&A with Ysai about magic realism, writing fiction from field notes, and the value of fiction in our contemporary world. We'll be posting it on 30 June. Watch out for it. Congratulations, Ysai! Looking forward to more stories from you!
We are extremely chuffed to publish Ysai Bartolome's first foray into fiction, "The Day the Fire Cat Appeared in Purok Laon," at https://t.co/tz7JyNkY7I. This story lingered in my mind long after I first read it. I hope you enjoy it too!

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Senator Bernie Sanders exposes the massive AI scam. He confirms big tech oligarchs literally stole humanity's collective knowledge, art, and research to build models without permission.
The elite class is executing the greatest wealth theft in human history!
Have been very busy lately that I completely forgot to celebrate being featured in this week's issue of @strangehorizons --the dream market this girl had when she started writing seriously at the ripe old age of 37. You can read the poem, "Obvious" here:

Not knowing what to do is as stressful as having too much to do.
515 studies, 787k people: Role ambiguity and role conflict are at least as detrimental to well-being and performance as role overload.
Setting clear, consistent expectations is a foundation of good leadership.
Marking the end of May with this fascinating Q&A with Mich Alagao, author of "San Quebrado," the latest story up on https://t.co/tz7JyNkY7I
https://t.co/TJY2v07RWY
This month on https://t.co/tz7JyNkY7I: "San Quebrado," by @michalagao --a ghost story that is filled with darkness and heat; a meditation on aging, memory, and the passage of time. One of the most sensitively written stories I've read in a while. https://t.co/rhg15Rd1Jq
"What makes this collection especially striking for me is how it evokes a sense of sonder—the profound realization that every passerby carries a life as complex and layered as our own. Through these poems, the voices of ordinary Filipino people emerge."

Steve Jobs famously said his kids didn’t use iPads.
Brené Brown highlighted this on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO. She’s been in rooms with tech billionaires and platform founders. When they’re asked what kids should study today, the answer is coding and physics. But when the same people reflect on their own success? They credit deep reading of philosophy, the Stoics, history, and the liberal arts.
Her concern: a quiet divide is forming — one group protecting deep thinking for their own children while the rest of us are encouraged to just keep scrolling.
In the age of AI, experts across the board are saying critical thinking, philosophical reasoning, and liberal arts skills are becoming even more essential — not less. AI can generate answers, but it can’t replace the human ability to ask the right questions, understand context, ethics, and meaning.
The people building our digital future seem to understand this deeply for their own families, yet design systems that often pull everyone else in the opposite direction.
Do you think we’re creating a two-tier system — deep thinkers at the top and scrollers below?
It isn't every day that one's book meets readers who actually write back. I cannot thank @katonthejellicoe enough for responding so beautifully and graciously to Affidavit of Loss--and in the form that I love the most too.
