Bone to bloom, fast to feast
Writing news!
1. I can now announce that my jötunn short story "Skerry-Bride" has been accepted for reprint by Transcendent 2: The Year's Best Transgender Speculative Fiction, edited by Bogi Takács (Lethe Press). It was written right after discovering Moss of Moonlight's Winterwheel (2013) and right before seeing Thor: The Dark World (2013) and published originally in Devilfish Review #16. I do what I can for more Norse queerness.
2. My short story "Like Milkweed" has been accepted for reprint by Broad Knowledge: 35 Women Up to No Good, edited by Joanne Merriam (Upper Rubber Boot Books). It was written in 2014, inspired by a comment![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
asakiyume made about burdock and other edible plants, and published later that year in Not One of Us #52. I used to think it might be one of my rare pieces of science fiction, but now I think the chances are much better that it's just weird.
3. My poems "The Women Around Achilles" and "The House Always Wins" have been accepted by Not One of Us. The first is a gloss on Achilles on Skyros, a story whose gender essentialism has always sat badly with me; the second is the direct result ofyhlee asking me to draw a Vidona spread.
I saw a young couple with a baby in a stroller on the bus this afternoon; they were cosplaying Deadpool and Harley Quinn. Nicely matching red and black. No idea if the baby was cosplaying anyone. I felt a little disappointed when it was pointed out to me that they were probably on their way to Boston Comic Con. They had been a terrifying prospect of parents.

Dunno who Deadpool is (the name is a total turnoff) but I found our who Harley Quinn is just two days ago, visiting my four year old grand-nephew. He wants to be Harley Quinn for Halloween.

Fourth-wall-breaking Marvel antihero; I know a lot of readers who like him. The 2016 movie starring Ryan Reynolds is supposed to have been well-done.

I think that's great. She is a rather terrible role model as far as her relationship with the Joker goes, but she and Poison Ivy make a nice couple.

I love your poetry; it's not like anything else and it makes non-musical earworms for me.
That's a wonderful thing to hear. Thank you for telling me.

Thank you! I guess I have a moral obligation to write more.
