Breaking the Spell
A little free flash fiction from Ada Hoffmann, in Lightspeed Magazine.
Ten Unsent Letters to the Dark Lord
The conditions in Good Queen Frida’s dungeon are strangely adequate. I sit on a tiny cot between clean stone walls by torchlight. The guards come by with wholesome day-old bread and pure water. They ask if I am comfortable. I do not know if all the Good Queen’s prisoners are treated so well. If she really is as kind and fair as she makes herself out to be. Or if it is because they have found out, through some means, what happened at the very end.

Symptom: Social Security Disability Rejection
61% of Social Security applicants are denied after their first application. I am now on the second appeal, when 49% of remaining applicants are approved, and have hired a lawyer (disability lawyers are only paid if they win your case).
I set a new goal on ko-fi, in order to get more illmarks pieces into the world. The fundraising would cover framing two Med Art Advocacy pieces, and submission fees + professional scanning for the Mütter Medical Museum, a Senior Living Center, a Health Care Center & 3 other shows.
If you are able to comfortably, please buy me a ko-fi. We’re 1/3 of the way to the goal!

The recording from the "Decentering Humans in Solarpunk" panel is now available to watch! I had to bow out of participating in this last year, but several of the wonderful authors from the SOLARPUNK CREATURES anthology I helped co-edit stepped up and made it an amazing and impactful event.

Berlin was a raw & intense & bare trial of new ideas for the Dystopia Wetlands EP ♪ ♫/ world / its creatures. It’s beautiful to have some time to look back - resonate - appreciate - imagine further.
Thank you all for the support. Gives me warmth.♪ ♫◉●•◦*.:ₒ▫ᵒᴼᵒ▫ₒ｡.✿`°¤,¸.•*´¯

"I wanted to explore what water’s perspective on humanity might look like, separating it into three parts: the past, the present, and the (hopeful) future."

The Imagine 2200 story reviewers and judges evaluate stories without knowing the authors' names, so it's always exciting to find out who was behind the stories we chose.
I was ecstatic to learn the lovely story "The Imperfect Blue Marble" is by @raemariz! 💙📚 🔵
"In a culture where a child's first word takes on great meaning, a nonverbal child shows his compassion beyond words."

"Infrastructures of violence"
In this blog post, @arielkroon considers violence in the framework of solarpunk, specifically with regards to infrastructure, and how the label of "violence" is defined by the forces solarpunk seeks to oppose.
I don't come to any revelatory conclusions with this one, but hopefully it can provoke thought!
