Last week's story in Androids & Dragons was something a little bit different in that it's not TRULY speculative. It's main characters only wish it was.

In this week's story, Aphrodite visits NYC.
"Humans think they can heal their mistakes with kisses. Aphrodite is love’s goddess; she knows it will take far more to mend this world.
But for a first step, it’s a good one."

Today's new story offers a fun twist on some classic fantasy tropes as seen through the eyes of delightful characters who, as the author notes, are usually left out of fantasy tales. The link is in his thread (I think).

My story "The NPC's Lot" is out today with Androids and Dragons! It's a collection of five vignettes highlighting the sorts of characters that are usually ignored in most fantasy tales. I'm super excited to see it in print - thanks to @jennarainhm.bsky.social for believing in it!

Supremes say parents can opt out of letting their kids listen to LGBTQ stories. Can parents similarly opt out of kids listening to stories that DON'T have LGBTQ themes or incidents? 🤣

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

With a pandemic raging, could Felinites, a maligned minority, have the answer?
We live in terrifying times, but if you take time out to read this ultimately uplifting story, you won't regret it.
