I’ve got some big news!
See this cool new science fiction anthology with short fiction, poetry, and art that celebrates human neurodiversity? The one called The Neurodiversiverse: Alien Encounters?
Well… It includes a short story written by me!
I’m so proud that my story is part of this new universe. The book celebrates human neurodiversity, with a focus on own voices stories told from the perspective of folks who are neurodivergent themselves, featuring autism, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, synesthesia, anxiety, and more. Representation is so important - I personally can't wait for this anthology to come out!
About 45 creators have worked on this book, including Cat Rambo, Tobias S. Buckell, M. D. Cooper, Ada Hoffmann, Jody Lynn Nye, and my Atthis Arts friends Clara Ward and Stewart C. Baker. It was edited by Anthony Francis and Liza Olmsted, with cover art by Barbara Candiotti.
You can preorder it now, and directly support all of these creators, on Kickstarter. The campaign will run until May 13. Please don’t miss it! Aside from the ebook and paperback edition (with a discounted early bird price!), you can add an original sticker, tote bag, or pin to your hoard, order bundles of books from Thinking Ink Press, and even acquire a special hardcover edition with slipcover that will be exclusive to this Kickstarter.
From the campaign:
“The Neurodiversiverse is for anyone who loves science fiction that stretches the mind!
In fact, when we first voyaged to your planet, we noticed that some members of your species coped better than others with the symphony of thought process found across the galaxy. These beings, whom many of you call neurodivergent, have diverse thinking styles enabling extraordinary responses to mind-bending situations.
Since your species communicates with words and images for enjoyment, we thought collecting stories, poems and art describing neurodiverse encounters with aliens would not only provide entertainment and edification to lovers of science fiction all across your globe, but also would facilitate our attempts to infiltrate your society.
The realized form of that collection is our science fiction anthology, The Neurodiversiverse: Alien Encounters!”

so funny to realize most alien sightings were just people not being able to identify owls in the dark
like, to be fair, i regularly get scared that inanimate objects in the dark are actually Creatures out to get me, so i get it

Saw the “trying to start a normal conversation” meme - love those topics as well.
Can you name a cryptid that you think is cool, and how whumpable it is on a scale of 1-10?
First of all, THANK YOU for sending me this, it has made my week! I have been dying to talk about the intersection of whump and cryptids—two of my favorite topics! I am always down to talk about cryptids and paranormal happenings, so if anyone has more questions, toss ‘em my way!
Right off the bat, the most whumpable cryptid that comes to mind is the Fresno Nightcrawler. Look how dumb and soft these things look:
Screenshots taken from this video
It’s just a weird blob of legs? Not only do they look ridiculous, but you could easily snare one in a bear trap since all they do is walk around like dumb little smooth brained idiots. These things are the equivalent of a sunfish (equally whumpable).
Whumpability score: 10/10
Cool score: 5/10 (they look ethereal but there’s not a whole lot else going on here)
This may be controversial, but an honorable mention of most whumpable cryptid is going to have to go to Skinny Bob:
Images taken from Google
You’re telling me this dude doesn’t look like someone’s go-to Little Guy™️ they routinely torture or put through precarious situations and have kidnapped for ransom money; or the Youngest™️ who gets taken by Villain™️ and the Whole Team™️ has to work together to save them? Or the recently discovered creature that Evil Scientist™️ captures and performs gruesome experiments on? He’s getting whumped in multiple situations!
Skinny Bob is Whumpee™️ confirmed.
Whumpability score: 6/10 (he’s an alien so you always run the risk of having more of them show up. We also don’t know what he’s storing in that massive dome of his—maybe it’s secrets to the universe, or maybe it’s the mental power to make things explode? Additionally, he was rumored to be in cahoots with the Russian government? Either way, suspicious. And he does have hands and those long ass arms to try to fight you off, but he’s clearly not hitting the weights because those things are pool noodles at best.)
Cool score: 10/10
P.S. I engage with cryptozoology, myths and legends, and paranormal encounters for entertainment purposes only. Is this shit real? I have no idea, and I don’t care. That’s not the point, I’m here for the fun and whimsy. There’s no harm in indulging in the unknown. I’m not here to convince or attest to the legitimacy of these creatures. It’s not that serious, so please don’t come after me!

In the realm of stars, a cosmic tale unfolds, Of alien beings, interstellar journeys bold. A challenge loomed, insurmountable it seemed, Yet heroes rose, their destiny supreme. In the vastness of space, they'd come to find, The key to overcome, a bond so kind. United, they conquered, and worlds they saved, A testament to friendship, eternally engraved.

The Time Traveling Society
There's a secret society of time travelers manipulating historical events to shape the course of humanity. Solid proof includes discrepancies in historical records, unexplained disappearances of individuals throughout history, and anomalies in photographs and documents. Some believe that certain influential figures throughout time were actually time travelers altering key events to serve their own agenda. This theory gains traction from alleged encounters with time travelers and the emergence of artifacts that defy conventional explanations.
