It is so good! We were in TAS in January and I fell in love with it.

Why yes I DID pay the $20 postage and get my favourite cider shipped all the way from TASMANIA instead of continuing to bemoan that they don’t stock it in WA. Because I am an ADULT and I have this POWER (this may be obvious but somehow still came as a surprising revelation to me.) 😋

Thanks, I guess! Also the word migraineur (which I also just discovered yesterday) is so fancy

I had my first migraine with aura the other day, complete with bright jagged flashy scintillating shit, where I then temporarily struggled to read properly. SO THAT IS NEW AND FUN

Through These Moments, Darkly, by Samantha Murray in Clarkesworld. Post slow climate apocalypse, we see the relationship between a biologist and a dark physicist. And the portals. The prose is graceful yet maintains the tension like a garrotte. Beautiful and disquieting.
