Up on the Aqueduct
More of the “that time of year” thing. This time it is the review of the year posts on the Aqueduct Press blog. The lovely folks at Aqueduct keep asking me to write these things, so I keep doing them. … Continue reading

Worldcons in Smaller Countries
Most of the time Worldcon doesn’t cause much of a splash in the country where it is held. It is often as much as we can do to get the mayor of the host city to take notice. Who cares … Continue reading

Yesterday on Ujima – Hate Crime, Jazz & LGBT in Africa
