Seriously though, the worse I feel, the more I tend to withdraw from everyone. It feels like an effort to have a conversation. I hate that.

If only there was a way to turn this despair into a marketable product like, I don't know, a novel maybe?

PseudoPod 997: Flash on the Borderlands LXXV: Together is Our Favorite Place to Be
Our family doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful. There’s a gale when dawn illuminates our world. The morning light arrives as though leached from my son’s eyes, his gaze cast skyward…

Unwanted & *unnecessary* AI features in 2025 software packages give off very strong turn of the century telemarketing vibes for me.

On Spec has long deserved recognition for best semiprozine at the Hugo Awards, but has never even made the ballot because it's Canadian and most Hugo voters are U.S.-based.

2026 will be your final opportunity to nominate an institution that has been an incubator for so much talent.

Not long ago -- in my lifetime -- all trans people faced unspeakable violence, including state-sponsored violence, for simply existing

And self-appointed gatekeepers made it as tough as possible for a person to transition.

Anyone who wants to bring back the gatekeeping also wants the violence back
