Enormous congratulations to my friend @renanbernardo.com who won the World Fantasy Award on the same day he voted for Lula in Brazil. Please enjoy this quote from his newsletter: "fascism can be crushed" ❤️

Subs for our 2nd lunarpunk anthology open up this Sunday, Nov 1st through the end of the year. Why not read a lunarpunk novel in the meantime? THE WORKING by @brightflame.bsky.social is a story that "...shows us why she's a master of climate fiction and lunarpunk." - @renanbernardo.com

I wrote a bit of what it meant to win the World Fantasy in one of the more tense days of my life! renanbernardo.beehiiv.com/p/i-am-a-wor...

Congratulations to all the World Fantasy Awards winners, especially Story Hour guests @wnwagner.bsky.social, @tanaudel.bsky.social, @thomasha.bsky.social, @ethereallad.bsky.social, and @renanbernardo.com! You are awesome!

Have you bought it yet? You should. 250,000 words of short fiction and poetry, all in the palm of your hand (depending on the size of your device and/or whether or not you get the print edition). 🙃 All proceeds go to keeping the magazine running! magazine.trollbreath.com/trollbreath-...

This! You have no idea how this worked well!

Congratulations, @wnwagner.bsky.social!!!!!! 🎉

Congrats @renanbernardo.com on the World Fantasy win for best short story!!!

GO VOTE! Turnout matters! Also, disrupt the algorithm by liking, commenting and sharing leftists posts but COMPLETELY IGNORING right wing posts NO MATTER WHAT. Let them come complain on posts with leftists talking points AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. The more people doing it together the better

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

This is my first award win and I cannot express how happy I am right now! ❤️💚 (I might be wrong but someone said I was the second South American author to ever win the World Fantasy!)

YES!!!!! F*CK FASCISM!!!! ONE MORE VICTORY TODAY! 🇧🇷

Heartiest congratulations to all the winners including @renanbernardo.com, @wnwagner.bsky.social, @tanaudel.bsky.social, @thomasha.bsky.social @edenroyce.bsky.social and @jhameia.bsky.social! You are all very much deserving and its so cool to see y'all get these wins.

Congratulations to all the winners of the World Fantasy Awards! Including @renanbernardo.com, @thomasha.bsky.social, @tanaudel.bsky.social, @wnwagner.bsky.social, @carinabissett.bsky.social, and @edenriverstrust.bsky.social!

Congratulations to all, and a special shout out to two times visitor to the Translunar Travelers Lounge, @renanbernardo.com

Today is a very nerve-wrecking day (and this week has been) for me and many Brazilians. I can't fathom how we can be 50/50 between fascism/loss of sovereignity and democracy. But I'm glad to say that I got an acceptance for a magazine that I really love! ❤️

It ends two days from now!!! 🚀
