Happy book birthday to @slashnburnett.bsky.social! @atthisarts.com

New Sci-Fi Release / Ex Partum by emma burnett: A harrowing extrapolation of today’s societal trends. This story hit me on a visceral level, as the plight of new mother Panya resonated with my own slough through early motherhood. Author emma burnett lays bare an all-too-plausible future—and shows that, even in an entrenched corporatocracy, hope can still sprout in the margins. —Myna Chang, author of The Potential of Radio and Rain; image shows surreal depiction of a repetitive interior. Ex Partum by emma burnett, sci-fi novella, coming June 2026 is crossed out to say "out now", Atthis Arts, Detroit Michigan

I love this mug that just came in the mail from @maryrobinettekowal.com & @sarahsward.bsky.social! Fourshadowing is the name of my short story cohort! How cool is this? MRK is a fantastic teacher & I feel luck to be part of this group. ❤️🚀

My poem "Let Us Dream" was included in the Seattle WorldCon souvenir book - which makes me ridiculously happy! Thanks to the @seattlein2025.org publication folks, and @smallwondersmag.com for publishing the poem originally! And thanks to @taracampbell.bsky.social for mailing me a copy! ❤️

The words Seattle Worldcon 2025 are in black text, tilted at an angle on the left side of the cover. A robot with intricate metalwork stands on the right side, with an upraised arm. Connect to the arm is the figure of a woman with long hair and a yellow dress, floating above. Geometric shapes float in the background.

A page from the WorldCon souvenir book. The left side of the page includes the text of a poem, which is blurry & hard to read. On the right side of the page, the words "Let us Dream by Myna Chang" are above a white box that says "Let Us Dream" originally published in Small Wonders, Issue 3, September 2023. The background of the page is a gridwork of boxes with muted colors, which makes the words a little hard to distinguish.
