Perhaps the only one so far, can't remember (the rest are paywalled in anthologies). A young Calcuttan couple's trip to exurban Bengal turns into a crucible.

At the end of her column @espiers.bsky.social says she looking for work. I have to say she is one of the people I most look forward to reading these days. When so many mediocre writers rise upwards like hot air, it was shocking to hear this.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.
Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.
