Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go.

21st Century Problems
I grew up in the last century (and boy, howdy, do I feel old when I write that!) and discovered science fiction as a genre when I was about 11-12. I’d read everything in the children’s section of the library and asked if I could take books out from the adult section. Given permission,…
