My newsletter is returning! Science + gaming + storytelling. Monday’s is about superconductivity and how this current round of speculation is so well tuned to be a social-media-mediated story. Come sign up!

A reminder to folks that you should look up @granades.com on Bluesky if you want to know what I’m up to.

Eee so excited to be in this cohort! I can’t wait to read the other stories.

If you haven’t played my game “Professor of Magical Studies,” now’s a great time because it’s 33% off, along with all other magical school games from @choiceofgames !

With the contract signed, I’m excited to say that I’ll have a story coming out in @diabolicalplots, about a rat king who abdicates and discovers solidarity with the working rat.

Lost in a maze of twisty IF, all alike? Don't worry, you only need to find your way out of 5 games in order to be a judge in this year's labyrinthine IFComp.

Warm your hands and heart today with "Fox-Fires" by Emmie Christie. "It’s the time of year when they / Twirl down from their trees, / Hatched from their leaves, / All soft heat / And trembling" https://t.co/QVNRhrekyN

I’m very happy that this story is out!! Witness: children handling things both better and worse than adults do

Day twenty seven of @DragonCon and I’m ready for the Late Show!

How mean am I? I scheduled our “What Wine Pairs With My Science?” panel with @tattoosandbones, @drrubidium, @studentofwhim, Rae Pendergrass, and Topher Hunter at @DragonCon for 11:30 am.

Behold, my schedule! graphic design is my passion. If you're at the con, why not stop by and watch me be ridiculous?

All I’m saying is, when it comes to serious, measured scicomm, science talks at SFF conventions are prime shitposting opportunities.

prepping a talk for Dragon Con and I regret nothing

I got my print copy of Inclusive Future Magazine with “Sliders Aren’t For Gender”, my Gamergate-inspired story about uploaded humans wrestling with gender, and the zine looks incredible. I’m still not over having things I wrote in literal print.

It's such a pain when you get your new timelines all set up neatly, and then some pesky mortal comes in like a cat with yarn and causes a tangly paradox. Today, Kurt Pankau gives us: 12 Foolproof Ways to Solve the Grandfather Paradox. https://t.co/pU6hwU6VOi

Take a peek at what's on the other side of the mirror today, with our reprint by @Hudakwrites, "Mirorred" "She approaches the mirror; I’m there to meet her. We study each other through identical brown eyes." https://t.co/FNz1iMBcXk

"Abstain from Spinning, Beauty" by @DyaniSabin is a great modern take on Sleeping Beauty. This poem is powerful and pulls no punches. Content warning for sexual violence: "If you had known / what a spindle was, before, you would have used caution." https://t.co/JIWQ9h5eVu

If you read and loved "Dream the Sea" by Clara Ward in our issue 8, may we recommend the book "Be the Sea" by the same author? And if you haven't read the flash story yet, here's your chance! https://t.co/eqm1xMUVJX https://t.co/MSFizxej37

Going to #Glasgow2024? Here’s where you’ll find me! Friday I’ll talk about commercial companies’ effects on space exploration (online) and do a dramatic reading of research. Sunday I’m moderating a discussion of flash fiction. I’ll be around the entire weekend — say hi!

Please do share this among your networks and on platforms where we don't hang out! We want to spread the word far and wide and (hopefully!) see applications from many different folks! On that note: don't self reject for this, either. If you're interested, apply!
