Reading for awards?
Here’s my eligibility (a couple of stories still to come in Nov and Dec). If you only have time to read one story, the one I’m most hoping people will keep in mind is “Through the Machine.” Thanks. 🙂

It's awards season! I have two short stories I'm most proud of this year.
If you only read one thing of mine, make it "Laser Eyes Ain't Everything", a piece Locus called a "sharp satire" which should give you lols and catharsis. www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1...

Y'all, it's time. And while I had a record number of publications this year (the Disney Essays, reprints, multiple short stories), I wanted to focus on two specific stories. (1)

Before the ACA, I couldn't get insurance as a freelancer at all, bc I'm a type 1 diabetic, so "pre-existing conditions." It was absolute shit on my health, scavenging for insulin & test strips, constantly in life or death debates about being able to go to the doctor. I had no primary care.

So @schiff.senate.gov's voicemail box is full, and @alex-padilla4ca.bsky.social's won't even receive messages after business hours. This is not a good look. If I could have left a message to tell them not to cave, I would have. bsky.app/profile/josh...
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

I called @markey.senate.gov & @warren.senate.gov to beg them to do whatever's in their power to stop Democrats from caving. Ending the shutdown at the expense of the American people & their rights is shameful. I will no longer be able to call myself a Democrat if this party cannot hold the line.

A bunch of writer friends are noting that they have not used LLMs to write. Me either, absolutely not. I feel like we need to stop asking kids what they want to BE when they grow up and start asking them what they want to DO. Because: I am not here to BE A WRITER, I am here to WRITE.
