Links:

[Uncanny Magazine; Wayback] (by Sarah Pinsker, which is apparently *not* a pseudonymic conceit but the author's longstanding name; I only just realised this now) I'd been hearing praise for "that Hugo nominee where there's a murder at a convention of alternate-universe selves" and was a bit curious, but hadn't realised it was freely available. For those of you in the same boat, here it is. (I read it and enjoyed it.)

[TASTE; Wayback] (by Mari Uyehara) Different brands of kosher salt have significantly different densities: exercise caution when following recipes that don't specify which brand of kosher salt they were normed on. (I wonder what Windsor's density is: this article is aimed at Americans and doesn't say. *googles* Well, here's a chart from Windsor comparing the density of its kosher salt to that of table salt, from which the density relative to other kosher salts can presumably be deduced.)

I've had this sitting around in a notepad draft for maybe a year, and today I'm finally going to add in the links/quotes and post it (now on a different platform than the one I originally wrote it for).
