"Girlfriend in a Coma, I Know/I Know – It’s Serious"*
I have been trying to write up a post about writing and trauma for the last hour, inspired by this post. I guess I’m still in a bad enough place that I don’t feel like I can talk about it. Of course, much of my reluctance is that so much of the current situation would

Names I’ve Given My Hardware
I was never one of those people who had names for my cars, mainly because I never actually owned them – my parents did. I got my first laptop as a graduation present when I finished highschool, and though I never named it at the time, the person I gave it to when I upgraded

Year’s Best SF 12
I was going to wait until they officially posted the TOC, cause there’s always the chance of the story getting cut, but I’ve seen a couple of other people mention that they’ve got stories coming out in it, so hey: My short story, The Women of Our Occupation, should be coming out in Cramer &
