Billions of tons over Robert's islands

My Oppenheimer-in-space review "It's Good to Know How the World Works: Star Trek: Voyager's 'Jetrel'"—written originally for Patreon, slightly revised for publication and graced with illustrations—is now available in The Stellar Beacon: The Trickster Issue. It appears alongside a very nice essay on tricksters and radical empathy by Alexandra Rowland, another on the necessary nature of escapism by Priya J. Sridhar, an extensive compilation of resources for accessibility in gaming by Jennifer Kretchmer, and some neat even to my non-gaming self systems and scenarios by editor Mark Sabalauskas. Check it out! I don't do this nonfiction thing officially as often as I should.

Be the Serpent with Macey and Freya, whom we’ve known since she was 16

That noise I make to indicate mind blown over the rim of the galaxy.

...so when I say I failed to live up to any potential in the early-aughts mythpunk movement, I am... not joking. All those people I can never now catch up to are old friends.
(Freya, now well into majority, last crashed with us in 2018 and has offered mates’rates on editing the sex scenes if I’ll just move the fuck along already.)

Yeah, but I don't do cover modeling for them.

*hugs*

But you do it so precisely perfectly.

(I heard just the faintest whisper just now of “Move the fuck along already,” how strange.)
