I would love to see change to address climate disaster, whether that's with making a wish at a carnival's Zoltar machine or decarbonization policies.

Delighted to share this issue with @katefrancia.bsky.social's wonderful story - the visceral hurt of Hereswith here cut deep, and I loved how it opened her up to emerge from the story's closing confrontation unharmed but not unchanged.

I have no idea what the big books are these days, lol. BUT I'm very much looking forward to "The Works of Vermin" by Hiron Ennis, and "Audition for the Fox" by Martin Cahill (which actually just came out I think?)

They're the same thing! There's different ways you can write the scientific name of the molecule (I do not in the least remember what those ways are) and there's one name associated with each way. I have no idea why any given country opted for one name over another, though.
