Wil Wheaton ❌👑@wilwheaton.net

This week's It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton is a sweet, queer story about that awkward, tentative, uncertain time when, maybe, something is different, something is changing, something is awakening, and it all feels like a smear of toothpaste.

“So Many Many Awful Things Lived On; And So Did I” is it. It's the best of me. All of my heart went into this. If I never write again, this will be enough.

khōréō magazine@khoreo.bsky.social

In “So Many Many Awful Things Lived On; And So Did I” by @yelenacrane.bsky.social, some rent their bodies to survive, while others hijack the tech to rebel in a nation at war. Driven by revenge, a woman rises through enemy ranks by leaving copies of herself behind.

“The Monkey King in Orbit” by @shiwritesprose.bsky.social features an orbital station where the most privileged live in immortal hedonism, and the Monkey King makes a move that shakes society to its foundations: she's opening a restaurant.
