"If there's no one to read them, do my words truly exist?"
That angst-laden question is posed by the narrator of my latest short story now live at @uncannymagazine.bsky.social. Give it a read if, like me, you'd like to visit Markets of the Otherworld.

Includes a story by me! A secondary world fantasy that is one of the most personal I have ever written. “Markets of the Otherworld” is about exactly what it says, and oh, so much existential angst. Can't wait to share it!

The book is available in most public libraries and will be part of the Voters' package. Here is the first chapter, if you fancy an anti-colonial fantasy with a magic system based on flowers, set in alternate 16th century India.

It's #LongCovidAwarenessDay!
The best chance you have of avoiding Long Covid is avoiding Covid. Every new infection is another roll of the dice, and just because you didn't get LC last time means nothing about the next time.
Wear a mask! Lobby for good air ventilation! We're all in this together.

There is now a Flour Massacre almost every day. Don't let the Israelis normalize this. Killing hungry people waiting for food is a war crime. Targeting hospitals and medical staff is a war crime. Deliberately starving a population is genocide. #FreePalestine

This is the counter to "oh not everybody can care about every issue/not everybody talks in public about everything they care about" discourse. These statements are meaninglessly accurate in some general abstract sense but fail immediately when you make them specifically about Palestine.

RT @salamasinamusic: How can I make this more clear? There is no war. Palestine has no army. Hamas wants to give back all the hostages. Israel wants to murder every single Palestinian, half of which are children, almost 2 million ppl. What's so hard to understand about that? It's a genocide.

21st century genocides have a standard playbook, it seems. This was precisely how the Sri Lankan genocide was carried out in 2009, with planes bought from Israel.

Netanyahu is a criminal and a war criminal. Every action he takes, costing so many lives, is almost exclusively to keep himself out of jail. He should be isolated, arrested, and held accountable for his horrific crimes. He should be completely alone. He stands for nothing but himself.
