What a cracking review of issue 11 of ParSec Magazine! Especially pleasing to see @ruthejbooth.bsky.social's brilliant immigration parable The Invitation getting the plaudits it deserves.
Another new post of short fiction reviews from us! What is going on! This is a delayed review of PARSEC #11 from @pspublish.bsky.social which came out in August. It's a great issue with stories by @aptshadow.bsky.social @neilwilliamson.bsky.social and more! supernova.reviews/2024/11/28/p...
Parsec #11
Self-imposed deadlines have no meaning, at least, not to me any more. I started Parsec issue 11 on the flight from Birmingham to Glasgow for Worldcon in August and was honestly blown away….

I don’t know about you, but I’m afraid to throw out, bury, burn, or dismember dolls, all because of horror movies.

I drew this cartoon of my brother and me (as their ratty avatars) back when I was in grad school in Wisconsin and he was in grad school in Arizona. It was a gift for my mom and she had it on her office wall in Connecticut for years. Recently unearthed, and I’ve put it up on my office wall at work.

Best heading yet about my lab’s recent research publication on the corpse flower!
Why this US horror fiction writer just spent three nights with an elephant-sized piece of flesh that smells like death
Professor G. Eric Schaller, a horror fiction writer and molecular biologist, was one of a team of scientists on a mission to find out more about the putrid scent of titan arum – the corpse flower.

Love this. There are lots of ways progressive people can build community outside of the legislative world. (Marginalized folks have been doing it for centuries.) Fewer policy wonks, more mutual aid.
Here’s my pitch: the Democrats should take a few million dollars and fund free childcare centers and bowling nights in swing districts resnikoff.beehiiv.com/p/the-party-...
