Hmm, you make a strong argument, both for the possibility and for why I shouldn’t have to be working on a Friday afternoon.

Of course 99% of them flee from the mind at the moment, but I regularly think about the ending of Alarm Will Sound by Christopher Schultz. pseudopod.org/2018/01/19/p...

And we’re back. This is hour two of Talk it Out. I’m your host, Gabrielle Esposito. If you’re just tuning in, in our first hour on the air we talked at length with Mary from Poughkeepsie, New York…

Strangely, they weren’t as spicy as I expected. Although, the air in the kitchen sure was when I came back from the other room.

Last night hubby made Sichuan pepper noodles with black pepper, white pepper, wasabi, and sriracha. Somehow, I am still alive.

I don’t live anywhere near there so I’m probably good. Also, are you sure that’s not fishwives? Just to be sure.

It all started on this day. Thank you for a wonderful twenty years.
Text in the center reads: 20 Years Oct. 2006 - Oct. 2026, clarkesworldmagazine.com

(right) Cover art for issue 241 by Marcel Deneuve is "Labyrinths of Azarax" and features a blue and white mechanical eye in a circular opening looking at a small, white, glowing humanoid figure standing on a large pipe in the tunnel. Many pipes line the walls, all heading out to the main room. Pipes are yellow and gray. Room beyond is blue.

(left) Cover art for issue 1 by Tomasz Pietrzyk is "The Town of the Towers" and features a surreal town of yellowy white distorted towers with reddish orange roofs that overhang the towers and rise to a point. Mishapen dark windows and doors are scattered about on the buildings. Orange sky gives the entire piece a warm tone.

In a way, this makes me glad I am not tough enough to handle habaneros in my food.

That sounds perfect with a hunk of crusty bread! I love soup as an excuse for vegetables as well. Adding jelly is interesting—I’ve never heard of that before.

A.I. and corporate lingo are dragging language ynto drugged realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Language must have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake and leave wet dirtye footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Wielde them. Save us.

Stretch out on hard lumpy couch with TV and lights on and glasses stabbing into side of face: asleep immediately. Curl up in perfect comfy bed with white noise machine and peaceful darkness and cozy pillow: never sleep again.

Does the inherent quality of a piece of media matter when we love it due to nostalgia?

Gonna do animated movie week this week including (probably): Fantastic Planet Demon City Shinjuku The Last Unicorn The Dark Crystal (because puppets count as animation) Will happily consider any other animations matching these vibes.
