I regret to relay that Jon Lasser passed away. He was a kind peer and delightful writer. If you read any SFF magazine, you probably read a story of his, and you surely enjoyed it. I'm going to miss him.

It is my birthday tomorrow! If you want to do something for me, I have a big request. Think of somebody in your life who is struggling. Make them soup. Play videogames with them. Help get their window unstuck. You don't know how far a little goodness can go. I believe in you.

You know that nice thing somebody did for you that you're randomly thinking about? It would be rad if you randomly messaged them to tell them it's stuck with you.
