This goes so hard, A++ would bop to it again.
Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.
Everyone, give

It turns out that linear time makes life easier, but the tangled tapestry of time-traveling and creating different versions of yourself makes for a much more entertaining story, as @zazzeaux.bsky.social demonstrates in "Matter and Time Conspire".
Matter and Time Conspire - Small Wonders
When time was linear, life was easier. We knew what to expect, based on what had been. But now we go forwards and back and sometimes what changes is not an event, but us.

"Sympathy for Wolves," by John Gregory Betancourt, asks you to consider werewolves in a different light, specifically the warm light of a cabin in winter.
Sympathy for Wolves - Small Wonders
I could hear wolves scratching like dogs at my door again. It was a full moon, or close to it, and I still felt a stirring deep in my soul, a longing to join them for the hunt, just as they longed to join me.
