in multiple minds about recent cli-fi trends...on the one hand its def more useful to be thinking about alternative futures where we develop new ways of relating to the earth, rather than than reiterating climate doom. but "climate optimism" always rings sort of hollow for me

Especially when that shakes out to mean "knows less than the story's intended audience"->"knows roughly as much as the story's intended audience." this isn't a condemnation of hopepunk/solarpunk/optimistic clifi in general. just an open-ended wondering about what else it could be

I recognize that this dead horse has already been thoroughly beaten, but Clarkesworld pausing subs even temporarily really feels like a Waffle-House-closure-level threat in this AI "art" hurricane

I talked to @clarkesworld about indefinitely closing submissions for the first time in 17 years to figure out how to navigate a sudden onslaught of AI-generated submissions (which, incidentally, are not good writing)

Are there any comprehensive lists of speculative fiction markets out there? I have a big Excel sheet I've been sporadically collecting for like a decade, trying to decide if it would be useful to publish it on my website or something...
