On June 30 at about 9pm, I turned in my master's thesis (actually, I didn't, but I THOUGHT I had, and that's a different story).
At 10pm, I finished dinner and said, you know what would make this evening so much more fun? If I wrote an entire short story tonight also.

Being in a language class as an adult feels so silly sometimes. Like, yes, I wrote a 150 word report on bugs, and I'm very proud of it. Also I have a job.

An EXCELLENT short story. I still think about it months later
If you’re reading for awards season, here’s a short story I’m really proud of in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social .
so @jrdawson.bsky.social reminded me of their excellent story "Six People to Revise You" and it'll cut you with knives but then heal you better than you were before.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.
Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Do you have any idea how bad it has to get for international humanitarian orgs to declare famine, rather than "almost a famine" or "famine-like conditions"?
Breaking News: Gaza City and the surrounding area are officially suffering from famine, a global group of experts said. An Israeli agency rejected the finding.
Gaza City and Surrounding Areas Officially Hit by Famine, Global Group Says
At least half a million people in the enclave were facing the most severe conditions measured by U.N.-backed international experts: starvation, acute malnutrition and death.

This is just to say that @diabolicalplots.com is one of those quietly standup people in the writing sphere doing the good work, not only by maintaining the Submission Grinder itself but in keeping an eye out for publications that, accidentally or otherwise, are not doing right by their authors.
