My first translation/non-english publication! “Consider This an Opportunity”—my dark sci-fi story about a woman gifted a “brother” to make her a better person—has been translated into German for Your Body the Ship: The Best International Science Fiction Stories. This is a milestone for me 🤖 🖤

Horror as a lifestyle: The rise of spooky and gothic shops
Slowly, steadily, a small but quite lively patchwork of horror-and-gothic-themed shopfronts and cafes and restaurants and bars have been replicating across America.

Today, I'd like to say-
The Taino were the people of Borinquen. Borinquen was later renamed to Puerto Rico.
Some Taino words remain today.
Words like hurakán = hurricane, barbacoa = barbeque.
The Taino greeting is
Taino-ti
Which means - "I greet you with love because you are family."
