And if you need a little more convincing to check it out, here's what @ancillaryreviewofbooks.org had to say about this "delightful, chaotic" story of queer time travel in Amplitudes ("a standout collection for 2025"): ancillaryreviewofbooks.org/2025/05/30/s...

'Tis the season for eligibility posts!

As you're reading for awards this year, I'd love for you to consider my short story "pocket futures in the present past" & the other works in Amplitudes, edited by @leemandelo.bsky.social.

Already trying to figure out what to propose as a couples' Halloween costume for next year, since my wife will only agree if the ensemble does not a) require her to wear make-up or wigs and b) allows her to mostly wear own clothes. This year's Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew may be hard to top.

A bright spot in this terrible week: getting my advance contributor's copy of "Amplitudes: Stories of Queer and Trans Futurity" (coming out from @erewhonbooks.bsky.social next spring). I'm not sure I've ever needed stories of resistance, community, and queer and trans futures more.

Rex Duck-Lamb would run a bookstore, natch, selling scratch 'n' sniff volumes made exclusively for cats.

Oh, wow, missed that my flash story, along with two other great reads from CRAFT, made the The Wigleaf Top 50 Very Short Fictions 2024 Longlist! Creating tiny stories that require a strict economy of storytelling has been really satisfying to me, so this is cool. wigleaf.com/2024longlist...

Yeah!! Got to play Kathleen Hanna for a night and tried to do her justice, because she's amazing. (And I keep telling everyone to watch The Punk Singer!)

You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

Repurposed my Weird Barbie Halloween costume to try to bring the right Kathleen Hanna vibes to my Bikini Kill cover show and it worked out pretty perfectly

Bringing this little guy (Rex!) into our household from the local shelter has been our best move of 2024 so far.

My contributor copy of Greater Than His Nature arrived—can’t wait to dig into the creepiness. Get yours from @atomiccarnival.bsky.social!

This meal just cost me $78 at the Newark Airport. This is why Americans think the economy is terrible.

🚀 Got a new newsletter out on dreaming of being an astronaut as a disabled kid, what accommodations mean in outer space, and how our imagined futures are deeply intertwined with our present realities: https://open.substack.com/pub/katharineduckett/p/the-quack-3-why-disabled-astronauts
