I have indeed done this thing, and I would recommend that other UK voters do the same. Particularly if you're a cis woman and want to emphasise that you are comfortable sharing facilities with trans women.

Social media is where marginalized people can build community and anyone who undervalues that has never been the only ______ in a crowded room.

Underappreciated deep cut of the day: the interviews don't generally do well in terms of numbers, but I feel talking to editors is important. They make your favorite books, magazines, and authors get published.

My best friend in high school was in the same situation with her stepfather and mother as Alice Munro's daughter, so I learned about this behaviour then.

Still using and trying to build up followings on socials becuase they're not nothing! But wow the difference with before... One of many reasons to support the anthology if you dig me/NESS expanding into books - it'll help us achieve the very important goal of having an actual advertising budget.

‘Caught in the Sad Orbit of a Dead Calamity’ by Fábio Fernandes is fabulous: an erudite, searching look into ANDOR that ranges from Cassian to Che, Clerks to cosmopolitics, the Chartist uprising in South Wales to the ‘cornfed’ moisture farmers of Tatooine

I heard Fritz Leiber based a few Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser tales on nights out with mates in a city not Lankhmar. Certain episodes of my story may be reminiscent of escapades in the city of Melbourne, in retrospect not things to recommend.
