GOOD NEWS: 1. Alito, yay! Am excited.

2. The final version of my short story, “Now and at the Hour,” is available in the current issue of Doublethink magazine. This version is better than the one you might at some point have seen on my fiction website; moreover, I took that version down, so if you want it, Doublethink is the only place to get it. Summary: “Welcome to a future where the drugs make you think you’re in West Berlin, and you can live forever if you really think you want to.”

3. Tuesday is All Saints’ Day. Go to church!
