Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts
A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

An oldie but goodie rec for writers (for novelists but helpful to those writing short stories) Susan Bell’s The Artful Edit: On the Practice of Editing Yourself (2008). She treats revision as an art form & offers examples, a case study that you can follow w/ some cool interviews.
A photo of the book cover that looks like a composition, notebook, sort of, with “artful” added it to the title using proofreader insertion marks in red ink.

Book cover for boy maybe: poems by W. J. Lofton (Beacon Press): Shortlisted for Gay Poetry in the Lambda Literary Awards (winners announced June 12th): https://lambdaliterary.org/awards/current-finalists/. W. J. Lofton writes vivid, accessible poems that channel the energy, urgency, ambitions, joys, and sorrows of a young Black queer artist. They are about love and flirtation, sweet tea and hot sauce, God and family, life and death, police brutality and extrajudicial killings. His verses honor some of the young lives extinguished by these killings—Breonna Taylor, Kendrick Johnson, Ahmaud Arbery. He also pays tribute to some of the towering figures of Black culture who have come before him—Richard Pryor, Assata Shakur. His style is endlessly propulsive, informed by some of the Harlem Renaissance greats—Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks—but also transforming that rich tradition for the present day. https://www.beacon.org/boy-maybe-P2153.aspxBook cover for The Lilac People: A Novel by Milo Todd (Counterpoint Press): In 1932 Berlin, a trans man named Bertie and his friends spend carefree nights at the Eldorado Club, the epicenter of Berlin’s thriving queer community. An employee of the renowned Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld at the Institute of Sexual Science, Bertie works to improve queer rights in Germany and beyond. But everything changes when Hitler rises to power. The Institute is raided, the Eldorado is shuttered, and queer people are rounded up. Bertie barely escapes with his girlfriend, Sofie, to a nearby farm. There they take on the identities of an elderly couple and live for more than a decade in isolation. In the final days of the war, with their freedom in sight, Bertie and Sofie find a young trans man collapsed on their property, still dressed in Holocaust prison clothes. They vow to protect him—not from the Nazis, but from the Allied forces who are arresting queer prisoners while liberating the rest of the country. Ironically, as the Allies’ vise grip closes on Bertie and his family, their only salvation is to flee to the United States. Brimming with hope, resilience, and the enduring power of community, The Lilac People tells an extraordinary story inspired by real events and recovers an unknown moment of World War II and trans history. Shortlisted for Transgender Fiction in the Lambda Literary Awards (winners announced June 12th): https://lambdaliterary.org/awards/current-finalists/. https://www.counterpointpress.com/books/the-lilac-people/

“The Candy Aisle” by Joanne Merriam.
My first impression of Phillip is that he is blessed with ignorance. Ignorance of the importance of a good first impression, not to mention the finer points of fashion.

My netting is tight and full-body, designed for under street clothes; looks chic where it drapes over the sweet little pillbox hat I always wear. He’s taken his off, lulled by the airlocks and security sweeps and dragonflies into thinking he’s safe inside the mall. That kind of thinking can get you killed. Instead of frowning at him (wrinkles, you know) I relieve my feelings by giving him a level, unsmiling look.
