Court all night and sleep all day
Indeed, it is snowing. Patches of warm spring sunlight slant and brighten on our street and the snowflakes spiral through it. I don't think New England believes or cares that April Fool's Day by definition ends as soon as the second of the month begins.
1. Upper Rubber Boot Books has launched a Kickstarter to fund their two newest anthologies, Broad Knowledge: 35 Women Up to No Good and Sharp & Sugar Tooth: Women Up to No Good. The rewards are a pleasing combination of practical materials and egoboost. Please give generously! I have a story in the former and I should like to see it in print, not just an attractive mock-up in the Kickstarter video.
2. Dammit, how did I not know that Hampshire College has slime-mold-in-residence? I missed the symposium!
3. I really like these pride flag mermaids.
The last three nights, I have fallen asleep consistently before four in the morning and twice before three; it has taken me something like an hour after showering to fall asleep; I have slept at least six hours each night and once it was nine and a half. This is an unprecedented dent in nearly nineteen years of chronic insomnia. I am seriously wondering if it is the blue-light filter on my new glasses. If so, it is unlikely to be a placebo effect, since the only thing I thought they would do for me was reduce my chances of glaucoma in a decade or so. Either way, I'm trying not to jinx it. I could do without the vivid spike in nightmares, but it's sleep.

The wonderful slime mold reminds me of the lovely Joan Slonczewski's most recent book, The Highest Frontier, which is an Ivy League college with interesting scholarship kids inside an L5 structure. It's because of [spoiler] that the Hampshire residency might be a starting point for Frontera College.

I have my fingers crossed it continues! With fewer nightmares would be all right.

Interesting! I will look at it.
