Yesterday,
haddayr posted links to a writing contest sponsored by Redstone Science Fiction Magazine:
http://redstonesciencefiction.com/conte st/
(Full details on the contest rules and prize are at the link).
I'm not ready to enter the contest itself. But I really like the essay that inspired the editors to have the contest:
Future Imperfect, by Sarah Einstein.
And I also really like, and agree with the rebuttal written by
dwgism: here.
Basically: This, Squared.
In other news: when I was having my breakfast, I noticed (out of the corner of my eye) a brown fuzzy shape walk by on my back patio, just outside my kitchen window. The first thought that registered was: "Neighbor's kitty." But when my kitty started that chattering meow they give, when they see something exciting, I came to the back porch door for a closer look, and:
BUNNY!
A live young bunny-rabbit sauntering along behind my house.
^_^
I love bunnies.

(Quote) The submissions should portray disability as a simple fact, not as something to be overcome or something to explain why a character is evil. The submissions should also incorporate the portrayal of disability in a world where universal access is a shared cultural value. (Unquote)
