I swear the only way Gex X pushes through all of this awfulness is that we were absolutely convinced that we were going to have a thermonuclear war in our lifetimes, and this still feels slightly more manageable.

I realize that we all dislike the new Twitter owner who says stupid things, but I think need to spell this out a bit more for folks as the Uncanny Magazine publisher: the death of Twitter would decimate the science fiction and fantasy short story ecosystem.

I truly believe that short stories are still *important*. They’re vital to the development of speculative fiction as an art form. They aren’t stepping stones to novels or bingo squares on the way to other things. Exciting, notable things are still happening in magazines & anthos.

I probably should post an update. Lynne and I are pushing through the best we can. We’re hitting the depression stage of grief, but we’re managing to remain functional. We miss Caitlin very much. This is very hard. Mostly, we are escaping into old TV shows.

So yeah, we are making a double-issue of a magazine and doing palliative care in two hotels in the coming days so our daughter can have magnificent adventures, and it's possible we are feeling a teensy bit stressed.

Amusingly, they *finally* need Caitlin’s medical files that I have been saving in a file cabinet for 19 years. MY INSTINCTS TO NEVER THROW CAITLIN STUFF OUT WERE CORRECT!

We are at the local hospital ER. Caitlin is not responding fully to the IV emergency meds and is still having seizures. This is very bad. Please keep her in your thoughts.

Three months ago today, we were asked to make the hardest decision of our lives. No parent should ever have to make that decision. (Especially as there wasn't actually another choice.) I miss my daughter so very, very much. 💔💔💔💔💔
