Thanks for this! The part about how, if you move a box turtle from the patch where it's lived for decades: "[I]t spends the rest of its life trying to walk home. Most don't make it."

Reminds me tangentially, but inescapably, of a remarkable time travel story by James Tiptree, Jr. (Alice Sheldon), "The Man Who Walked Home." (1972). Mind-blowing and heartbreaking.

Thankfully Clarkesworld reprinted it:

Well, my day just got a lot richer.

Turns out the near future SF polyamorous love story we've all been waiting for was published in Clarke's World Magazine in 2017 🥰

I was reading this story from #Clarkesworld Magazine and thought I'd share it with the one @hollie I know!

Recommended! I enjoy receiving the digital edition the first of every month. I've subscribed for some time now and have never regretted it.

I’ve always been a digital subscriber to Clarkesworld, but I upgraded to print. Really nice quality, thick paper. Love having both.

I don't usually make #poetry in anything other than text but I didn't have a pen. Or Internet access. And I kinda like the effect. Alt text in following toot.

Inspired by the line that is struck through, from Sea of Fertility by Bella Ham, as read by Kate Baker on the #Clarkesworld #podcast

Just signed back up. I've missed having the monthly magazine. Great stories, great podcast, and the cover art every month is outstanding.

I finally found the time to listen to another #Clarkesworld story. M. L. Clark keeps surprising me in “Mercy and the Mollusc” in ways that make sense and highlight sorry details that were introduced before. I wouldn't mind reading it again, in particular its beginning, which I originally found somewhat disorienting.
