Shout-out to all the spouses and partners out there enabling their loved one to pursue their writing by shouldering household responsibilities, taking the kids out, reading and critiquing, and above all -- validating. You are awesome. 💜

i pity whoever tries to analyze my browsing patterns and does not know i click on things by accident at least 50% of the time on the bright side, that's likely why I got an ad for an axe-throwing class, a heretofore unsuspected passion of mine

I hate this push that if you haven’t had Covid that means either you may be immune or you’ve totally had it without realizing, when in reality there are many people basically giving up our social and professional lives so that we don’t give up living, because Covid would be BAD.

i mean, remembering those time-travel episodes that always showcased some sort of monumental societal meltdown mid-21st century, i think we're exactly on track here, timeline-wise [sob]

BCS Patreon has fallen below the monthly goal we need to pay our authors SFWA rate and our first readers a worthy honorarium. Sometimes folks need to lower or pause their support; we totally understand. But <1% of our readership donates or supports. patreon.com/beneath_ceasel… 1/2
