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.

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

I get it: you're on lockdown. You're trying to do a lot with a little. It's hard to find joy in the midst of fear, depression, and austerity.
That's why it's time to learn about totwaffles. (thread)
