Eligibility post! This year my story "House Brilliant" appeared in the far-future SF anthology Our Dust Earth from @aanpress.bsky.social
Under a bloated dying sun, descendants of humanity find that a fragment of our own time endures.. Capturing four posthuman tongues in English for this was so fun!

Now wishing for an alternate 21st century in which a fifty thousand ton immortal Gene Wolfe drifts in a gyre of the Gulf Stream, composing his seven hundredth novel in a register beyond the ken of humanity, while a fragment of his will directs his legions toward the conquest of North America.
I’m pretty sure Gene Wolfe did this

The thing about “patriotic education” is that if you have to lie about America to love it then you probably don’t really love it. Ultimately their objection to the flawed universalism expressed in the declaration is the idea that the flaws were bad or that the universalism should be realized.
