It’s a little surreal, somehow, seeing our podcast on my phone. Benjamin Rosenbaum and I made a podcast! How bizarre. I think it will be of interest to writers and editors and teachers and anyone who is trying to make positive change in their community, but we won’t really know for a while whether anyone […]

Hey, SF/F writer folks. Workshop brainstorming help? So, one thing we’ve been talking about is setting up a SLF workshop in the Chicago area. It might eventually evolve to something like Clarion, 6 weeks in length, but for now, we’re figuring we’ll start smaller. We’re hoping all American adults who want to be vaccinated will

Getting closer to podcast launch, eep. In theory, TOMORROW, although in truth, we may take a few more days, as we’re finalizing various edits, and there’s really no need to make ourselves super-harried, since the ‘launch date’ is entirely self-imposed. But we’ll see. Maybe we’ll have a podcast dropping tomorrow? That would be rather exciting.

This is very fun — we’ve been working with a local musician, Thor Bremer, to add some original music to our little 9 second intro video (animation by Brandon Hadnot) for the podcast / Youtube series (Mohanraj and Rosenbaum Are Humans, hopefully launching March 15th, my god, that’s soon, argh….). I really like what he’s

Various readers here refer to my #spacecats, so I feel like I ought to do an update. Sripati is to the best of my knowledge safe and well cared for; he’s also no longer part of our household. My cats were indoor-outdoor cats; they’re former ferals, and it felt cruel to keep them indoors. (No

We’re finishing up the design on the podcast cover art for Benjamin Rosenbaum and my upcoming podcast (launching March 15th, eep!). Cool, yes? Any last tweaks before we finalize? (Artwork by Stephanie Bailey!)

From Plurality University: “We are extremely happy to launch our next collective project, Narratopias. Narratopias is a collective, open project that wishes to organize, on a global scale, a collective response to the recurring call for “new narratives.” (https://corpora.latelier-des-chercheurs.fr/narratopia/) It is a project for all of you who wish to work with alternative narratives and
We’re getting ready to open up a Discord hangout space for writers, through the SLF (so members-only, at least to start). In my experience, all such spaces must be moderated with a pretty firm hand to be effective; we have one moderator so far, but could use a few more. I don’t want to throw

I posted this in our local progressives group, am copying it here, mostly as an update for people following along with the makerspace efforts from the last two years. It’s not gone! Just slowed down a bit. ***** Hey, folks. So, a question about hosting political conversation in Oak Park. This will be a little
