Misunderstood Acceptance

A couple of days ago, Kaleidotrope released their statistics on Spring Submissions.

World Events and Writing

First, I could write another blog about the new spam I was exposed to just this week. Two different ones. But I'm not going to. They already waste my time on social media and email (and now discord), so I'm going to look on other topics. The World I'm reluctant to talk about anything going on in the world because I recognize I don't have enough information before my particular situation, because focusing on all issues is impossible, because focusing on even one issue is exhausting. Is it […]
