Hey! Some fun news. "The Sort" (orig. @clarkesworldmagazine.com) was picked up for @wilwheaton.net's podcast. Went live today! Narrated thoughtfully and w/a kind shoutout for SFF mags at the end. And a surprise(!) mention of Uncertain Sons 🙏. Many thanks to Wil and his audio team. What an honor.

Some people don't care about the well-being of others. Okay! Fine!
Just imagine the sick art you'd get if every creator had food and housing security. The endless stream of groundbreaking stuff you'd enjoy if we weren't constantly struggling.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

i am not usually shrill about media consumption as a moral metric. i read historical romances, a genre riddled with colonial fantasies and gender essentialism! but the thing is that none of those authors are billionaires converting my money directly into anti-trans violence

It is incredibly fucking onerous, because some nondisabled asshole somewhere is like WAIT, what if someone who doesn’t deserve it gets help?!
Meanwhile, every disabled person: good on them! We all need to take care of ourselves and doctors don’t always understand our realities!

So here’s the thing: I, a certified Disabled™️ Person, do not actually care if anyone fakes for an extra 20 minutes on the test. I care deeply about how the fear of that very thing puts up flaming hoops disabled people have to jump through.
Maybe listen to disabled folk on this one.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

It's a new story day today! This is one of my most personal stories—a meditation on queer bodies and unconditional love that I really hope you enjoy. 🛸
The heart knows what the heart wants, and today: it's the alien. You'll fall in love too with "Loving the Alien is the Easiest Thing In The World" by @elijah.mea.rs:
Loving the Alien is the Easiest Thing in the World - Small Wonders
You had no idea if the alien was your kind of guy (or even if it was a guy at all), but sometimes Cupid has a funny way with those arrows.
