Ah yes. You are lost in the 'Mountains of Hitting Refresh Waiting for the Journal' that lie beyond Submission Pass. They aren't quite visible on this map but if you pay the fee you'll be able to gaze on those lands as well... (not really, just riffing on the idea of a paywall - I should draw more)

What is it when the editor has told you they will get you the final proof for each of the past 3 weeks?

How ironic ... I played the part of a character who thought robots should be given souls ... I was killed in the robot uprising! 🤖 ≠ 🧠

In high school, I was a key character- Helena Glory in R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) - 1st published in 1920 - this dealt with robots/artificial intelligence and ethics. Helena thought "robots should be given souls." Of course, I was one of the humans killed during a robot uprising.

Black and white newspaper photograph of the two lead characters in R.U.R - headline says, "Robots Attack Harrison High."
