A beautiful, deeply personal essay on racism from SFF writer Andy Duncan, freely available from the Journal on the Fantastic in the Arts. I've met Andy on multiple occasions, and have even been his student at a 3-day workshop on writing literary criticism on science fiction. And I love his fiction and nonfiction.

I’m now at the #ICFA stage of proceedings regarding my battle to get more time with my kids. After all of the blood, sweat, tears and monumental amounts of money handed over to solicitors, I’ve been landed with a complete dud of an officer for this crucial stage. She’s going against the clear recommendations in the #cafcass section 7 report, and is actually working with my ex to reduce the amount of time I spend with my kids. It’s f#cking outrageous. Talking to my solicitor tomorrow. 💵
Now about to see three academic papers on feminist and queer theory in fantasy literature. I haven’t seen any actual papers this year until the last day of #icfa! It’s all been panels and banquets (and hiding in my room writing) this year. The story came out really good, though!

The great Silvia Moreno-Garcia addressing #ICFA as guest of honor

(The hotel’s podium is huge and all the women speakers have been mostly hidden behind it)

Still working. Took a break to get some wine at the conference reception though! Have to edit a bit of my intro to the Baseball Research Journal and then back to work on the #ICFA story.
