Yesterday Bag of Bones Press accepted my short story "The Man With the Face Tattoo" for their Patterns anthology. (As the titles of the story and name of the publisher may suggest, it is dark fiction/horror.)

I missed an in-person protest this week because I did not hear about it. If anyone has suggestions on how to make sure I hear about protests--Bluesky accounts, email lists, websites--I would appreciate it. Thanks!

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice).
1. Refused to violate the law.
2. Refused to violate the Constitution.
3. Refused to bow or scrape.
4. Refused to bend a knee.
5. Deleted this stupid email.
