When I think of Michelle Yeoh's character I hear "It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?" I'm hoping Blade Runner 2099 can emotionally ruin me like the original and 2049 did.

In a world where "AI" submissions are a plague, human-written stories are the cure for an editor's breaking heart. Don't let the flood discourage you from sending your work out there. You are better, no what the hype of the moment says. We want your stories. Not the slop-infested noise.

Cool fact alert! 'Stationery' paper/books/envelopes comes from medieval stationers-booksellers who stayed put instead of roaming around like other merchants. No one wanted to lug around a bunch of books, so they set up permanent 'stations.' I love how history is woven into our language.😁📚
