For the love of all that's holy, if you can't write a eulogy, just leave someone else. Grief isn't something you can delegate. I know we'd all like to feel less of it, but feeling it is also a function of having loved.

I would really like to write the story I've been solicited to write for this collection. (Space opera! Fashion! Politics!)
But it needs to get funded for that to happen.

We have 12 days to go on our crowdfund for WHAT ELEGANT STARS and still need to raise about $7k. We've just added a reward "add-on" for a short story critique with editor dave ring if that would be of interest.
We also still have two Benefactor Rewards at $1k that would be incredibly impactful.

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.
After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.
18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

ICYMI, David Eddings (and his wife, Leigh) were jailed for the extensive child abuse of their adopted son and daughter.
Think about how bad that abuse would have been for them to have been jailed for a year each in the 70s.
Monsters, both of them.

The topic of David Eddings came up at my table talk at Worldcon.
Half the folks around the table - a pretty heavily invested in genre group - didn't know.
And two of them didn't know about MZB.

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
