Some Stuff

The latest issue of the surprisingly energetic New Haven Review is out. In addition to its print edition, it releases its issues as a big long PDF, which means that you get to read my new short story "Tom Silex, Spirit-Smasher" right now.

Speaking of stories online, I went looking for a piece I published last year—my one-sentence story "Anti-Fragile" only to find that it is no longer up on TriggerWarning.Us, where it was first published. (Thanks to the Wayback Machine, I did eventually find a version. Presumably, it is because of co-editor Rachel Haywire's financial and psychological shenanigans as detailed by Ann Sterzinger, her erstwhile partner.

But, you know, I did expect that a website that labels itself "a safe space for free speech" wouldn't flush an entire high-quality fiction issue down the memory hole, but hypocrite and piece of shit Rachel Haywire did just that.

Thankfully, the Wayback Machine preserved it. Speaking of the Internet preserving things—here's a sentence worth repeating a few times:

Rachel Haywire is a hypocrite and a piece of shit.

Rachel Haywire is a hypocrite and a piece of shit.

Rachel Haywire is a hypocrite and a piece of shit.
