Atthis Arts, a family owned and operated press, is doing a fund drive to cover unsexy things like operating costs, and sexier things like publicity and new projects.

Atthis Arts has published a lot of great work.1 Last year’s lineup included Embroidered Worlds: Fantastic Fiction From Ukraine and the Diaspora, Rosalind’s Siblings, and Pluralities. Coming soon is work like Heretic, the conclusion of Gregory A. Wilson’s Gray Assassin trilogy, and a translation of The Factory, a novel by Igor Mysiak, who was killed in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Independent presses like Atthis Arts do a lot with very little. Take them away and the literary space becomes much less varied and vital.

Atthis Arts is trying to get to $15,000 on a GoFundMe campaign. Check out the April Rally page for more information on other ways to help.

1. I’m personally grateful for the existence of Community of Magic Pens, a delightful anthology that gave me one of my first pro-rate sales. ↩︎

Thank you, Judy! This review is such music to our ears! "...every word sounds carefully chosen and arranged. I found myself pausing my reading frequently to reread passages again, because they were just that good." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5690906389 #Pluralities

The emotions of seeing our book *and* cover on the actual Lambda Literary Review blog, after all we've fought for, pushed for, given up - as a press, are...complex, and predominantly buoyant. Avi, you're a damn star. 🏳️‍⚧️

Totally no big deal here in my little Ferndale porch office with my Taddie 🐈‍⬛ and a slow rain, but oh, an @atthisarts book is one of the Lambda Literary Review's most anticipated books of October, with, you know, our cover featured. ⚰️

We're still going up. Think we're actually #90 now? https://atthisarts.com/product/pluralities #Pluralities

This new ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review on NetGalley starts with "(slightly longer review on my goodreads very soon!)" and ends with something we are seeing on *so many* reviews: "I'm already looking forward to reading it again!" The response to this book is everything we dreamed it would be - but also, still just *flooring* us. Thank you, Georgia! #Pluralities

Currently in the top 100 of LGBTQ+ Science Fiction on Amazon? The Left Hand of Darkness. This is How You Lose the Time War. And - Pluralities by Avi Silver. Check it out? We'll keep an eye on that rank... https://atthisarts.com/product/pluralities #Pluralities

Love to see this on #Pluralities Release Day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I could gush on and on about this story, but I'll leave you with one of my favorite gender quotes (and a glowing 5 star recommendation):

'I didn't feel born in the wrong body, I felt displaced in time and space. And since the rest of the world seemed to think I was perfectly suited to being a woman, I felt displaced from myself by association.'"

🚀 RELEASE DAY! 🚀 There isn't much we could say about that the blurbs on the page don't 👇 (!) so - who wants to see an indie trans speculative novella with an extra topping of trans have a super release day? If that's you, please share! https://www.atthisarts.com/product/pluralities/ #Pluralities

I have scheduled two galley book reviews and am in the process of getting more of my older reviews from Goodreads (and previous blogs) to my (newer) blog. The galleys were #thornhedge by T. Kingfisher and #pluralities by Avi Silver. #books #writing #writingcommunity

Another review for @thescreambean: "10/10, 5⭐️, cannot recommend enough."

#Pluralities in #Postmodernism & #TimeTravel

"#postmodern thought is broadly characterized by tendencies to self-referentiality, epistemological and moral relativism, #pluralism, and irreverence."

"Over 500 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube per minute in 2020, which equals 30,000 new video uploads per hour.

#culture becomes #cultures
#future becomes #futures
#past becomes #pasts
#self becomes #selves
#reality becomes #realities

So I thought I'd reach out to my neighbors here for some input. When crafting an LDAP schema what would be some ways in which to be inclusive of #pluralities? I figure there has to be some good ways to approach this that I'm not currently thinking of.
