Congratulations @gautambhatia88.bsky.social!

Surprise! I have joined the fearsome and terrible hive at RRD, and will be the new Soc Media wretch! Lots of love and mouth full of dice, Naomi xoxo

All of which is to say: yes, I made a typo for Aisha's name above; yes, as an editor I am reliant on our proofreaders (sorry, @jampersand.bsky.social); and, yes, listen to the great @darthj.uno and @mickallister.bsky.social's latest SH@25, in which some of us talk about the mag. SH: it's nice. 🙏

Plug Alert: In addition to my story (Pvt. Parker, MiA) incld'd in this 1/4 C roundup; another story by me back then (strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...) was in the book SH: Best of Year One! Haven't placed any (fic) w/ SH since; guess they raised their standards...HahHah...heh... ..heh... sigh :(
