Archita is 78% to her goal but donations have slowed (none for 3 days). Much gratitude to everyone who's given so far. She's in desperate need, and would be very grateful for any help. I know things are difficult for everyone right now, even shares help to get more eyes on the fundraiser:
Fellow Calcuttan writer/editor Archita Mittra is in desperate need of financial help. She recently lost her father, her home was damaged in the recent rains, & her mother's in hospital. They don't have insurance, & she's a freelancer. I can vouch for her. Please share widely & donate:

As we near the end of the year, the last thing you might want is a big, chunky fantasy or science fiction book to drag into the new year. Good thing @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social's got 5 underrated novellas to recommend instead!
