Same - just under 11 minutes. I basically looked at a clue and then immediately forgot that it existed until several minutes later.
The cover of Tales from the Crosstimbers magazine, Spring 2026 issue. It lists the authors included as well as the tagline: Ten tales from the crosstimbers, on the boundary between dreams and reality. The image is of a forest path winding through blue and green illustrated undergrowth. A small white creature, fluffy with fur, a long tail, and little dragon wings, sits on the path looking out with large black eyes.
I'm very proud to say that my story, "Casting On", just got published in the Spring 2026 issue of Tales from the Crosstimbers. This was a lovely one to write - about the magic in connection & unexpected encounters (plus knitting!)
You can read it at thecrosstimbers.net or buy a copy on Amazon.
It’s really well done and incredibly engaging.
In summation…
Nice! No mistakes but it took me 11!
This is so depraved.
Thank goodness because that was some shady shit the school board was trying to pull.
Oooo…so close…
I get a few perfect dailies under my belt, get overconfident, and go way too fast. And then make a silly mistake like confusing Innocent for Criminal or mixing up row and column.
This is what we need to hold onto. The way things were paved the way for all of this to happen in the first place. We can’t just go back to that.

Screenshot of first two paragraphs The Year Without Sunshine by Naomi Kritzer in Uncanny Magazine Issue Fifty-Five | 10883 Words During one of the much smaller disasters that preceded the really big disaster, I met a lot of my neighbors online. I can’t remember if we set up the WhatsApp group because of the pandemic or the civil disorder or both. My Minneapolis block had always been reasonably friendly—people would take their kids around on Halloween, and I knew the names of my next-door neighbors—but everyone on the WhatsApp group got closer. When the Internet and cell phones went down, my next-door neighbor to the north, Tanesha, built a little booth in her yard out of plywood, with corkboard inside and a roof, and painted WHATSUP on the outside, so people could leave each other messages inside. When I went in the first day to check it out, people were already posting up notes asking to swap stuff—coffee for condoms, cat food for diapers, a bike repair for a plumbing repair. The stores were empty but maybe someone on the block had what you needed.
Naomi Kritzer's informative blog posts on how to help are great (see last/pinned post).
Her Hugo & Nebula award-winning novelette "The Year Without Sunshine" is a must read for the moment we're in. A fave. We take care of us.

Congratulations! Well-earned.
Honestly, what are you doing? I’m one of your constituents and utterly baffled by this. I promise you that we are more concerned with the Secret Police taking over Minneapolis and a potential world war over Greenland than grocery prices. Please do something!!!
The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors
they abolished the department of education, we do not need a trojan horse to abolish ice we can just do it
Exactly!

Always satisfying when a Sunday one comes together with no mistakes!
Think about how you use your voice, and why anyone would want us divided, scared, and only allowing some into the very concept of people. /end
And the ICE officers doing all of this are people, people who are turning their backs on the idea that all of us share humanity together. Every day, we have a choice to say no more, enough, we are better than this and deserve to live in a society that values all people more than this. /4
But when we allow that, even for a minute, our society starts to crumble. Renee Nicole Good was a person. The other people ICE has harassed, kidnapped, arrested, attacked, killed - they are all people, too, no matter their race or citizenship. /3
Above all else, we need to remember that we are all people, capable of good and bad, but all of us human. The government would prefer we think of some people as "real" and others as not - not citizens, not citizens who count, not people at all. /2
Poem by Hannah Eve Levy The day a poet is murdered by ICE is a school day like every other in the first week of the year. Time isn't real but still it's January, and scientists say we're gaining about sixty seconds of sunlight even as the sun sets. I wake up and feel closer to death than the day before. I am a mother, so I wait for my daughter at the bottom of the stairs and I hold her hand when crossing the street and when we stop at the corner I run my fingers over her ponytail like it's my own hair. She says there's a cloud in the sky that looks like a heart but I can't see what she sees. I am a mother so when she is hungry I feed her and when she asks me how to spell wolves I explain how some nouns transform in the plural. Man is men and tooth is teeth and person who is murdered becomes people.
I don't know what to say. ICE needs to be disbanded, everyone involved with the lawlessness that has plagued it long before the murder of Renee Nicole Good must be prosecuted, consequences must exist. /1
I've seen people say that the officer who murdered Nicole Good should be charged with murder, and to that I add that every officer who kept medics from arriving, who barred doctors from helping should also be charged under conspiracy doctrine.
Senators from states where Trump’s Gestapo have killed people should publicly commit to rejecting unanimous consent in the senate until the House holds public hearings on what happened and the people responsible resign.
Important thread 🧵
Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation.
THIS.
