PS @drunemeton.bsky.social: the writers (cis, trans, and nonbinary) in this pack help understand and deconstruct misogynist problems, and their _intersectional_ feminist journalism, fiction, TV scripts, screenplays, media criticism, legal analysis (&more) often offers solutions.

I love writing conventions for many reasons, one of which is meeting people whose text I read —their stories, their social media posts, writing community posts, etc.
Even when it is just listening to their wonderful voices, it feels magical. (Yes, I know, thank you science.)

My story is up at @castofwonders.org for Banned Books Week, with a lovely narration by Katrin Kania.
As an archivist, this story is close to my heart. I think a lot about the silences in the archives.

Kazia files a folder of correspondence and closes the manuscript box. She leaves the archives as the sun is setting. Her head is filled with the collection she is processing, the papers of Elgar T.

I do not love it when conventions pretend there is nothing they can do about COVID. I do not love it at all.
