"I don’t tell her how high the maternal mortality rate is here. Or how challenging it is for newborns to survive in this atmosphere . . . That it’s become even harder lately for Martian-born to be granted an Earth visa." - Mizuki Yamamoto baltimorereview.org/winter_2026/...

As we slide out of the old year and into the new, we wish all you readers and writers out there peace and many hours of reading whatever fills you with joy and wonder. Preferably in a warmer place than this guy. In a cozy armchair. Maybe with a mug of hot chocolate.
