Whyyyyy is NWSL+ giving me (living in Spain and thus hypothetically free from All The Streaming Sites) absolutely nothing about this Gotham vs Angel City match? 😭 For once the time zones work but now the website doesn't???

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

Dayjob had me so swamped this last week that I didn't realize "The Glass City" is out in It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton!! I hope you'll give it a listen. It's a story I'm really proud of, and I've been so impressed and honored by It's Storytime's commitment to short fiction. Link in reply.

ICYMI! Reading for the Uncanny Magazine Poll? Try the short story "Your Personalized Guide to the Museum of the Lost and Found" by AnaMaria Curtis @anamariacurtis.bsky.social! You can read it here! buff.ly/nfv99vA
The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 62, “Mermay - Golden Hour" by Maxine Vee: In a forest of brown, orange, and golden leaves, a mermaid with orange/gold hair sits on a rock in a small light blue pond. She stares at her open palms, illuminated by a beam of sunlight. Purple flowers in shade lie scattered on the ground in the foreground. The quote reads: "While the Museum of the Lost and Found has an abundance of beautiful, thought-provoking pieces best viewed over multiple visits, we understand that your visit today must be brief. We have therefore created a personalized guide for your visit, based on the hesitance of your touch on the door and the waver in your smile."

Reading 2025 fiction? Try the short story "The Caravan" by AnaMaria Curtis @anamariacurtis.bsky.social! You can read it here! buff.ly/PJBwUYj
The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 66, “Listen To Me And I'll Tell You A Story" by Ejiwa "Edge" Ebenebe: In the depths of the sea a little girl sits on what looks to be a giant pink/green octopus tentacle. Several other tentacles extend in the background, curling in the depths. Towards the front and surrounding the little girl is a school of pink fish, some of them stop to listen as she holds one finger up. She looks like she is about to start telling a story. On the lower right corner, another school of fish is making its way over the tentacles, towards the edge of the cover. The quote reads: "We waited and longed for the caravan with constant, sickening hope for one reason: It protected us from the killing. The killing could never touch us under the overpass, and it did not strike anywhere when the caravan was near, so the caravan was our salvation."

"Overall, this novel richly exploits science fiction’s great capacity to imagine the otherwise and denaturalize what seems inevitable and natural. The adventurous analogy between height and gender will surely provoke much discussion, and—hopefully!—controversy."
