I’m really bad at promoting my own stuff. I write speculative flash fiction. I have a blog and a podcast but I’m now on Substack to try to broaden my reach. I’d love it if people would subscribe and share. Most of my content will be free. missmelysse.substack.com

A panel from "I'll Be Home For Hanukkah," a story in DC Comics' 2025 Holiday special I SAW MA HUNKEL KISSING SANTA CLAUS, by Jadzia Axelrod, Hannah Templer, Bex Glending, and David Lanham, in which Galaxy and Argus fly through the skylight of the apartment they share with Kat, who is removing spent candles from the menorah. Narrator: HOURS LATER... Galaxy: SORRY I'M LATE--THERE WAS A HYPERINTELLIGENT MONKEY MAN WITH AN ARMY OF INSECTOID ROBOTS DOWNTOWN. Argus: TRULY A REGRETTABLE CIRCUMSTANCE. Kat: TAYLOR. YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER EVERY JUSTICE LEAGUE SUMMONS, YOU KNOW?

The transformer outside gave a low, uneasy hum, faltering just long enough to make her pause with the mixing bowl in her hands. Then the lights blinked once — sharp, warning — and everything went dark.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
