 Recognize Fascism, edited by Crystal M. Huff  The Death of All Things, edited by Laura Anne Gilman and Kat Richardson |
I learned today that yesterday Storm Constantine, author of quite a few books (including one I edited) and owner of Immanion/Megalithica, departed for the beautiful West. (As I know she did a lot of Egyptian-based stuff I will euphemize her departure in traditional fashion, damnit.) I’m quietly and thoroughly stunned, today. She was a good […] Fascism is isolating. It feeds on isolation, and it exploits it. I have seen so many exhortations from people on the ground: get to know your neighbors. Know who will help you, and who will hurt you. Join together. Take collective action. Who would hide you in the basement, if you needed to hide? Who […] My poem, “Of Winter and Other Seasons”, will be appearing in Climbing Lightly Through Forests, a memorial anthology of poetry in honor of the late Ursula K. Le Guin. When she passed into the beautiful West, I tried to write about her here, and of course I didn’t get the half of it in, […] I have, in my drawer upstairs, a t-shirt with line art of a dragon, probably about fifty years old, labeled “Smaug”; it no longer fits my father.

My father started me off with My Family and Other Animals […] Autism is an experiment in passion. (I don’t know which blog to put this on, heh. Let’s go with the writerblog, because I’m going to be talking about writing and fandom and stuff, but I started it on the religionblog.) Long ago, in another lifetime, I got into a conversation on rec.arts.sf.fandom where, if I […] One of the things about the alchemy of reading is that it is possible to take it in and be transformed. Often in ways where it’s impossible to articulate the difference between who one was before and who one has become. I don’t know how to articulate the process of becoming as I am that […] I’m feeling a bit melancholy about that at the moment, really. I’ve just made my first sale – a short story, “Delayed Exchange Deferred”, to the anthology Death of All Things. (Preorders are up here!) And I can’t help but think of the community that was there, the people who would hang out together and […] |
