Apparently adult pandas spend 10-16 hours of the day eating. They have to because of the low nutrition content of bamboo and their size.
Imagine needing to eat almost constantly just to survive. It's like the villain of a horror flick. Except these cursed villains are adorable, so we protect them.
Kickstarter for new @calendaroffools.bsky.social anthology dropping soon! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cal...

My first Omelas response story is out! www.sciphijournal.org/index.php/20...
So glad I could contribute to the tradition started by Ursula Le Guin and carried on in some of my favorite stories by Isabel Kim, NK Jemisin, and others.
One of my writing groups, @calendaroffools.bsky.social, is going to be running another Kickstarter for a Missed-Fits anthology. Follow if you're interested in when it launches. If the KSer funds, there will be an open call in March or so. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cal...

My saddest poem "Cultured Methodologies" is out in Worlds of IF #179. So cool to share a table of contents with @aijiang.bsky.social, Robert Silverberg, and others!

Just sold my "The Ones Who Walk Away From New Jerusalem" to Sci Phi Journal. This isn't one I expected to sell because it's probably my most blasphemous story (generally in keeping with the character of the #UrsulaLeGuin story it's a response to).

I'm going to slush for UFO 10 (Unidentified Funny Objects), but only if the Kickstarter funds. So chip in if you can and you want to support an under-appreciated sub-genre of spec fic. Only 5 days left. It's going to be close!

Another writing first for me: had a swear word censored by an editor!

My microessay "Orality and Respawn" about how oral traditions can address a problem in game storytelling is out in @crepuscularmag.bsky.social. It's one of the few works I've had two absolutely bomb titles for, the other being "Retold and Replayed"

When visiting family in Cally this past week I learned that there are people who refer to themselves as "coastal elites" with a straight face.

Big writing news for me. Just signed for my poem "Why We Give" to appear in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine!
Selling "Why We Give" taught me you can turn any kind of experience into saleable words, even bleeding into a bag for the @americanredcross.bsky.social!

Best line I wrote yesterday didn't drop while I was writing: "Morality's above our paygrade, isn't it?" Also perhaps my best six word story.

Have a poem coming out in #worldsofIF ! "Cultured Methodologies" is my saddest poem. Also my first anthropological piece.
Lots of impressive names in the last issue. I wonder who my neighbors will be.
Today's idea for novel in progress: crafting gear from character's own body parts.
