I should have mentioned this sooner. I sold a story to Reactor (formerly Tor.com) via Ellen Datlow! “Model Collapse” is an sf/horror story about a government agent and his mentee, who are sent into a remote town on a mysterious and dangerous project.

From my walk yesterday in Brooklyn, looking south toward the Williamsburg Bridge. I'm reminded of a quote from Whitman's "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry":

"Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt,
Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd,
Just as you are refresh’d by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh’d,
Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood yet was hurried..."

Seven years ago on this night I saw Blade Runner: 2049 for the first time. So this seems an apt time to mention that I have been quoted on the Blade Runner 2049 Wikipedia page from a BBC interview I did in 2019. As far as accolades go, a Wikipedia mention isn't all that much. But many of you now what a big fan I am of the film(s), so being a "part" of the BR world, no matter how small, is very cool for me. (I have no idea who added my quote.)

I have been listening to the album Young Blood Blues by Hurray For The Riff Raff on repeat all afternoon. Really powerful and moving folk/country/jazz.

This is the coolest short sci-fi film I've seen in a long time. From Erik Wernquist, the creator of the amazing and moving "Wanderers" that inspired so much of my recent short and long fiction.
