  At my dad's for Xmas and the kittens his adopted stray gave him last Xmas are DEEPLY suspicious of me. You wait, clowder. I'm going to the supermarket today and bringing back treats. You'll come around. Especially you, Dangermouse. I named you, you little ingrate!

  The first fiction story of @ReckoningMag issue 7 is out! It's Nadine Aurora Tabing's The Bright in the Gyre, and it's about fungi and healthcare and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

  There's a new story out in @ReckoningMag!!! It's called A Predatory Transience and it's by C.G. Aubrey. It has salt marshes and omnivorous sharks and vengeance against eco-vandals, and it's just a fantastic read: https://reckoning.press/a-predatory-transience/
