[links] Link salad has a busy Friday
My short story “Skinhorse Goes to Mars” is live at Escape Pod — I’m quite enamored of their content rating.
Last Drink Bird Head comes to town — A cool flash collection, with many fine authors including my own self.
A question of freedom — Ta-Nehisi Coates on R. Dwayne Betts’ very difficult path to writing. How hard have you worked to be a writer?
Pension Office: 1918 — Wish my personal library looked like that.
This Day in Actual Communist and Real Nazi History — In case, you know, you think liberals are Communists and/or Nazis. From The Edge of the American West.
The more things change — Tom Tomorrow with a link to an editorial expressing skepticism about the need for the president’s proposed health care reform, and confidence that capitalism and American ingenuity will eventually take care of any problems our health care system might have. From 1949. Yep, that worked out well.
An Officer’s Experience in Our Christian Military — Think carefully about this one. Especially if you are conservative or a Christian.
