Long stretches of unsupervised time. Print pornography left in remote places. An inability to get factual answers to your questions. Everyone smoking everywhere, all the time. Bizarre pastimes born of true boredom. Long stretches of screen-free time. Going to the library nearly every day.

I recently had my first cowboy cookie: oatmeal chocolate chip coconut and pecans. I'd like several of those, hot from the oven.

There’s always a folding card table, a plastic picnic table, a ledge where we pile big bags of Cheetos, handles of cheap vodka, mixers from the gas station, and an improvised gravity bong (I lived in the years before vaping, youths. We used to have to do arts and crafts to get high.)

Alright, it's not his best work but Stephen King's newest, "Never Flinch," ends with a list of people who have been murdered for defending reproductive justice and I will never, ever quit this man. Constant reader, to the very last.

Reminder for your Pride events to book ASL interpreters, use wheelchair-accessible venues, and enforce a masking policy, at minimum. We can’t be proud to be part of a community until they include all of us—yes, “us” means your weird queer disabled friend, too. 😌

what makes NYC one of the greatest cities in the world in the same way London and mumbai are is that nothing ever fazes the people in these places. A guy dressed as a rat carrying a slice of pizza bigger than the average child? Sidestep, take the railing go about your day and never think of it again

Normally we push short story/poetry magazines here, but Locus is THE magazine of record for the Speculative Fiction publishing industry. Trade news, interviews, reports, novel & magazine reviews... it's where we turn! Please donate if you can to keep Locus in the black and going strong.
