no worries! I have other projects rolling along nicely, at various stages, while I wait for Fergus to tell me what the hell he’s up to.

Well, I mean, I wouldn’t rule out more Fergus, down the line, and there certainly will be more in that broader universe. (Many of my short stories are also set in same.)

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 62, “Mermay - Golden Hour" by Maxine Vee: In a forest of brown, orange, and golden leaves, a mermaid with orange/gold hair sits on a rock in a small light blue pond. She stares at her open palms, illuminated by a beam of sunlight. Purple flowers in shade lie scattered on the ground in the foreground. The quote reads: "Hence, a watchseed, with the best of intentions. Let’s give the seed-planters that much. They mean well. Crawling from star to star at not-quite-c, they make their surveys, consult their charts, launch a seed now and then. Old thinkers, they make an endless circuit of the galaxy on behalf of young thinkers."

Dems need to be asked about what Kansas is doing.
They hem and haw, they're unelectable. They give ANY answer besides "the legislators who voted for this will be imprisoned for war crimes", they're unelectable.
Understood?

It did not get through to the hardwood floor underneath, but I spent a solid hour and a half venting burnt rug smell out of the house )-:
I am very glad I didn’t take longer to get back upstairs, though.
Counterintuitively, I was trying to deal w/ a terrarium leaking water. I unplugged all the lamps from my power strip, set them down on the floor, then got distracted by dog shenanigans. Returned to discover one of the heat lamps was plugged into a different outlet, and melted a hole in my rug.
