A Little About My Story “Apocalypse Considered Through a Helix of Semiprecious Foods and Recipes” Now Out in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

My latest short story is out in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. When I first started writing short stories, back in the 90s, F&SF was one of the ‘big three’ that I really wanted to get a story in to cross off my bucket list. The big three were Asimov’s, F&SF, and Analog. […]

They Say There’s No Room for Immigrants While Desperate Rural Towns Lie Empty All Across the Western World

As Private Prison Stocks Soar, Immigrant Rights Activists Vow to Fight Trump's Mass Deportation Plans

Incoming President Trump’s vow to deport millions of undocumented immigrants when he starts his term has sent private prison stocks soaring. Immigrant rights advocates, including our guest, the executive director of Detention Watch Network, Silky Shah, are preparing for the Trump administration’s threats of mass deportation, a central tenet of his presidential campaign. “The first Trump campaign was defined by the border wall, and this one is really defined by mass deportations,” says Shah. If the Biden administration wants to protect immigrants’ rights before Trump takes office, she adds, it must begin reducing detention capacity by “shutting down facilities now.”

Person Adopts the ‘Mean, Hissing, Swatting’ Cat That No One Wanted at the Shelter, and after Getting Some Love, the Fluffy Feline Shows Her True, Cuddly Colors

Getting a cat to love you can take some time. We think that most cat owners know that. It's a rare thing for a cat to fall in love with its new owner on day one. Especially when you're adopting an older cat. You don't know what they have been through. You don't know where they came from most times. What you do know - or should know - is that for most cats, it's a matter of time. You need to give cats space and respect, affection when they ask for it, and snacks… like- all the time. 

And eventually, when you do all of that enough… your cat will show you love. Now, that might take a few days, a few weeks, or a few years. As long as your cat is not actively harming anyone around it, there is no reason to give up on them. You just need to keep giving them those things, and when the time is right, they will make as big of a turnaround as this kitty.

30 Purrfect Pictures of Cats Cuddling Calmly in Cozy Covers is Exactly What You Need to Pleasantly Pause and Ponder on Life’s Pleasures

Dear I Can Has-ers, today, we woke up thinking about a Danish term that will elate your days until the blessed weekend arrives: hygge. 

Hygge describes contentment derived from coziness, comfort, and gaiety. It is comprised of all that is cuddly, pleasant, cake-centered and candle-lit—in short, all the factors that make us purr.  
 

Hygge is all about enjoying each day to the fullest. All it takes is noticing the pleasantries of our daily lives. And it's no coincidence that cats and Hygge go together like Ben & Jerry. As you can see in the following photos of proud pawrents presenting their funny fluffy feline - cats are superior creatures, and understand that even the most mundane thing can be celebrated: a ball of yarn placed too low, cuddles with hoomans, and of course - continuous napping. If only we hoomans would appreciate our cozy domestic daily moments as cats (and Danes) do!
 

The ingredients for this comforting contented coziness are incredibly easy to obtain: Pour yourself a nice warm cup of your favorite beverage, wrap your feet with animal-shaped slippers, animal-printed socks, or your partner's backside, cuddle with your cutest cat, and scroll down these lovely screen shots from this post on Reddit. We must warn you, though - this post is not easy to leave. If you have plans today, cancel them. You are about to enter cuddle heaven.

24 Growling Giggle-Worthy Grumpy Feline Memes to Guarantee That You Have a Purrfectly Terrible Meownday

Ugh, is it really Meownday again? For once in our lives, we don't have anything funny to say about it - this is because we're still half asleep and our brains are back in bed. But, instead of being tucked in underneath our fuzzy blankets, we're in the cold on our way into the office. How else are we supposed to feel except grumpy? The vibes are in the air, and they aren't holiday vibes, nor pawsitive vibes, but curiously cantankerous vibes for all of us grumpy cats today.

Don't talk to us today unless you want to be growled at, grumpiness in the only company we need (and cat memes). Good thing cats are known for being grouchy, especially if you make them do something they don't want to do, so we're embracing our inner feline today and taking inspawration from these growling giggle-worthy funny felines to make sure we have a purrfectly terrible Meownday. Remember, if you expect the worst, you can never be disappointed.

Heartless Owner Returns Cat to Shelter Because She ‘Wanted to Cuddle Them at Night’, Then Her New Hooman Un-Breaks Our Hearts and Shows She’s Living Her Snuggliest Life Now

Look, we have heard stories of cats being returned to shelters. We have heard people say that they felt like they had no choice. The couldn't afford taking care of a cat anymore, they found out they were allergic… there are all kinds of reasons. At least everyone who returns a cat is a heartbroken, at least that's what we thought. We never imagined that someone would do it because the cat they adopted wanted to cuddle with them at nighttime. 

Everyone wants a velcro cat, right? Cuddly cats are the best! Cuddling with your cat is one of the best feelings in the world. The trust they show you, the love, the calmness that being so close to them gives you… there is nothing quite like it. To complain about a cat being too cuddly is like complaining about something being too tasty. It's silly. And ridiculous. And thank goodness that this sweet girl is now in the hands of someone who actually deserves her.

My friend is confident it’s the same planet, but it has an ancient-yet-futuristic civilization.
