They're Neo Confederates masturbating to the idea of slave ships. I want it to be more complex and less grossly stupid but they're not special interesting boys, they're Silicon Klansmen.

Thank you for writing such a marvelous book! I was captivated from page one and I remember it like an elaborate fever dream.

I really don’t know. Some folks have trouble parsing guidelines or navigating Moksha, but I suspect others have issues with boundaries and consent.

Six cases in the first 8 days of this poetry submission period. I should just delete them unread but I don’t like to leave writers in limbo, even if they are flouting the guidelines.

Do not send fiction to the poetry department of Strange Horizons. Mistakes happen, but if the fiction department is closed, you’re not getting around that closure.

Well-deserved recognition for a great book. Come for the fungi body horror, stay for the feminist rage.

A couple of nights ago, I finished this Flame Tree “Hidden Hares” puzzle of art by Angela Harding. Except for the edges, all the pieces were the same general shape: one prong on either end and holes on the sides. The variations in shading and foliage were the real challenge though.

A 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle picturing a moonlit hare in the foreground among grasses and flowers as the all-black silhouette of another hare bounds across an unspoiled meadow or maybe snow-covered path. The first hare’s coat is dark brown with comets of gold. In the upper right a full moon casts a greenish glow over the land and three leaf-bare trees.

The acorns have been so loud falling down lately. Last night there was a crash loud enough that it woke me up around 5am. I think the thinner branches are breaking under the weight.

YouTube Music is being that pushy friend who insists you’ll LOVE this artist and just keep pushing it: “what if it’s peppier what if it’s sadder what if it’s slower or faster what if it’s solo or a duet acoustic or or or…” I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam I am!

I look at this cover and I’m just astounded that someone who is obviously so uncomfortable in his own skin wants us to accept him as prophet and pioneer. Like, dude, you’ve got a lot of work to do on yourself. Why don’t you do that first?

ET taught me that if you’re special, the government will come for you with guns. And real life has only validated that lesson.

Neighbor sustained a head injury and was in a cervical collar, but was lucid and in the company of spouse and adult daughter when José left them.

Yes, fortunately one of our other neighbors went to find out what they needed and knocked on our door for help.

I haven’t either and I guess I’m supposed to feel terrible about it but there’s just so much to explore that I’ll never get around to everything, even if it’s popular. (But it just occurred to me, I may have heard it in public and because I didn’t know the words it didn’t register.)

I wouldn't even care about this that much except that it comes up like 8th on search results with a photo of me that is 17 years old. I erased it. I put in a request to remove my deadname as the main entry. I am writing this out just as a record in case other folks have to deal with this.

Just an update on this. I had a block of extra time trying to fix this and it's a fucking mess. My deadname is unable to be edited or moved or deleted because it's the 'canonical name', which only moderators can edit. Even though it has a field for 'legal name'.
