We're still at $188/month, just $12 shy of our peak level of funding back in fall of 2022. I still hate fundraising. And we can survive at this rate. So maybe I'll quit bothering you about this. Incredibly grateful to those of you who signed on even at $2 or $3/month. Thank you!
Support for Reckoning has flagged a bit since our 2022 fundraiser. We don't want to roll back payrates--we want to pay more, so more marginalized folks can have room to write about environmental justice and teach us how to be better! Plz help if you can? reckoning.press/one-more-cal…

None of this would be possible without @StelliformPress , a publisher who provides a platform for ecofiction storytellers whose books help us overcome the imagination deficit around climate change & sustainability. @raemariz @canadianist @OJCade 11/

"If Christopher Luxon was prime minister he would gain around $54,000 over three years, or $349 a week, quite apart from the gains from the properties he owns. A minimum wage worker would gain $2.15 a week - not enough for a loaf of Tip Top White"

Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵

MISSING IN TE ARO 🚨 Hector has been MIA since yesterday morning from the Tonks Grove area of upper Cuba St. He is a big orange boy cat (8.5kg) and very shy. May have a red collar on, he can slip them off. If you spot him, set out food and water and contact me on here

Amazon just banned my books and took all my money when I did nothing wrong. I sent KDP all the proof of publishing rights that they asked for, but they still terminated my account for no reason. Please RT to help an indie author and her readers! @amazon @amazonkdp #zoechant

Our first-ever fundraiser is on! We've got rewards: books, pins, shirts, critiques, but I'm most excited about the eco-crafting tutorials @priyachandscifi, @leahbobet and @MichaelJDeLuca get to do if we make it to the big numbers. Help us get there? reckoning.press/fundraiser-2…

Octavia Cade's story "Pollen and Salt" in this month's @Asimovs_SF is sublime. It looks at loss through the unlikely analogy of climate change, and does it without exaggeration or moralizing. Some really nice, subtle, word choice and imagery. Elegantly done @OJCade.
