Little known fact: @samasherwriter.bsky.social was so distraught by the closure of Daily Science Fiction that he wouldn't stop whingeing about it. So @crsutton.bsky.social told him to start a magazine or shut the fuck up. And that's how they started magazine. That and Asher selling his shoe

Do you have a floor? Because I'd just lie on the floor. Bonus if there's a pillow.

My daughter and I have grown a lot this year. Not even close to your scale in our little suburban yard, but still. It's satisfying.

Earn/beg/steal do whatever you've gotta do. I used to feel embarrassed about crowdfunding the magazine but I've come to accept poverty as a part of life.

*parents were mostly so blase. Sleeves was a really weird autocorrect move.

I enjoyed it, but those sleeves were mostly so blase about finding their children it kind of took me out of the movie. That one mom who wouldn't share her camera feed with the dad? Like your Ring privacy is more important than your kid? And nobody noticed them all run in one direction?

Even when I do make a little scratch from writing, I don't quit my terrible day jobs. The terrible day jobs don't rely on inspiration, or talent, or the muse or whatever.

I had one of those. Did yours also have birds on it?

Thank you so much!

The winter is definitely a little grim, I can't argue that. Could be worse though. Could be Scotland. (Which is basically the tagline for Ireland).
