Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. The first time I heard about it was in 2016 when Jeff was the Trias Writer-in-Residence at Hobart-Wiiliam Smith College and we were living in Geneva, NY.

thinking of reading a short story a day in the @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social and @annvandermeer.bsky.social edited The Big Book of Modern Fantasy for the next month or so...just for fun

From the interview:
My background in public health and choreography taught me that everything is connected if you look closely enough. For anyone starting out, don’t separate your interests. Let them inform one another. The bridges you build between them will become your signature.

My nephew Pioneer Winter is such an inspiration. The more time I spend with him, the better I am as a person.

The cats of Gozo. Orange cat was spotted at a Neolithic structure. I wanted to get a better photo so I put my purse and cap down. They immediately sat in the cap!
Second cat lured me with their charms while I was eating lunch. Yes, yes...I gave them some fish. OK, I admit it: more than some. 🙃

This beautiful cheese shop almost had me in tears. The owner was very knowledgeable and explained so much about each cheese when we asked. Yes, yes, too many were purchased, but how could we resist? Honestly, I consider this an art form (just wait until I share chocolate photos).
