In the supermarket the other day and some guy is openly vaping. I walked through a cloud of it. Felt annoyed, so I wrote a poem.

Love a good anthology. Just finished Vol. I of Year’s Best NZ Science Fiction & Fantasy from @paperroadpress. I was delighted to discover such tasty, inventive and distinct morsels.

“Common Denominator” by @MelHardingShaw is about a woman trialling a media chip implanted in her brain. She has to decide what to do when the results have unexpected consequences. That was my best fist pump moment of the anthology.

The Taliban’s hatred of women extends beyond the living. It is now mandatory for store owners to cover the faces of mannequins.
These dystopian images are a sign of how much worse life is going to become for Afghan women if the world doesn’t stand with them.

We’ve seen this in South Africa before. Beware of agitators and instigators who use legitimate protests to ignite chaos between protestors and police.

That's why it's time to learn about totwaffles. (thread)
