9 This just in: I’ll be doing a fiction reading, with fiction writer and SF academic John Langan, at the Melville Gallery of Manhattan’s South Street Seaport on Tuesday, January 2, as part of the New York Review of Science Fiction Reading Series.
The doors open at 6:30 p.m., and complete details can be found on the NYRSF page. The series is curated by Jim Freund, host of Hour of the Wolf, broadcast on WBAI radio.
One thing I love about New York right now? How people pull up their masks as they approach strangers on the street. It’s a sign of respect, community and common sense. Just call us the heartland.
“I thought it was all Carlos Castaneda, mescalin medicine man bollocks,” the girl said as she wiped blood from her brow. “How was I to know the fucker really meant it?” https://www.williammeikle.com/aboutsongsofdreaminggods.html
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg served until her last day. Rep. John Lewis walked the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 2020 after announcing his Stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Rep. Elijah Cummings signed subpoenas from his death bed. What do we owe them? EVERYTHING we can give.
Over the last few years, there’s been a pretty chilling shift in how Trump trolls respond when you point out that he’s inciting violence against journalists. The near-universal response used to be: “He was obviously joking.” Now about half of it is, “the media deserves violence.”

Happy New Year to you, too, Shelly Rae. I completely understand you needing to get back to the left coast. By the way, re: seals, had this to say.

Thank Ellie and you for last night. Sorry to say by tomorrow evening I will be out in the heartland, bringing those poor benighted souls, the gift of ME!
