The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 62, “Mermay - Golden Hour" by Maxine Vee: In a forest of brown, orange, and golden leaves, a mermaid with orange/gold hair sits on a rock in a small light blue pond. She stares at her open palms, illuminated by a beam of sunlight. Purple flowers in shade lie scattered on the ground in the foreground. The quote reads: "The form is one page long. No back. Just a front. It should be longer. There are six copies of the form, all different colors. Like I’m working my way through the rainbow to the end where I’ll finally find peace. Red. A parent or guardian. I meet my mother for lunch at the little bistro down the street."

Jaden Pierre's life was worth saving and protecting.

We mourned with his family in Roy Wilkins Park, a place where young people should find joy, not violence—violence fueled by our country's demonic obsession with guns and our city's failure to keep guns away from our children.

I'd have to go see Schmigadoon because I'm still upset they cancelled it before we got to the 80s.
