Gift article from my Washington Post account: “…a lot of science fiction novels are exploring a scary post-climate-change future. Meanwhile, the best recent fantasy books have abandoned George R.R. Martin-style darkness, embracing a gentle sweetness instead. This month’s books provide some outstanding examples of each trend.”

Over on Bluesky, #HorrorWriter Mark Allan Gunnells posted:

Reading books with diverse characters as a child didn't make me queer. However, those books did teach me there is nothing shameful about being who I am. And therein lies the problem a lot of conservatives have. They want their queer children to grow up feeling ashamed.

I can tell that Guy the #Cat misses his brother Lenny. Guy usually sleeps on the sofa, but last night he stayed in bed, cuddled up beside me. This morning, when I put down his breakfast bowl, he looked over at the place where Lenny‘s bowl should be. Then he looked up at me and gave a very long and plaintive #meow. I got down on the kitchen floor and told him how much I love him.

This morning at the #Episcopal Church of the Epiphany in Atlanta, the Communion Hymn was the #GratefulDead song “Ripple,” sung by two very talented young women on guitar. I remember hearing “Ripple” as #Communion #Hymn before, when I was a member of St. Luke’s Episcopal in Atlanta. A fitting hymn, both musically and lyrically.

“Mommy, why is that man crying?”

“That man is a #Deadhead. You can tell by the sandals. Try not to stare.”

I fell into a delightfully artsy rabbit hole this morning when a friend posted this painting by Jack Butler Yeats, brother of the poet and mystic W. B. Yeats (who famously kicked Aleister Crowley down a flight of stairs once). The name of the painting is “About to Write a Letter” (1935).

My favorite tree. On the trail last Sunday at Sosebee Cove in the North Georgia Mountains. The hiking stick was handmade by my late father.

If you’re a film noir fan, you’ll love RIPLEY. The beautiful black-and-white cinematography, the slow-burn #Hitchcockian suspense, and the understated acting of the stars (especially Dakota Fanning as the suspicious girlfriend) make this an instant noir classic on the same level as Double Indemnity or The Maltese Falcon.

Murdercats take lots of naps throughout the day so they can be energized to terrorize their humans in the middle of the night.

It was only a few years ago that I realized the Rachel Pollack whose stories I loved in F&SF was the same Rachel Pollack who wrote Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom and other classic books on the Tarot. Looking forward to this DC Pride dedicated to her. Rest in Peace.
