Gender, Non-Binary, and Things (or, the Likelihood of Failure)

As you may have heard, I changed my review guidelines so I could join my podcast, The Skiffy and Fanty Show, in its 2015 “Women and Non-Binary in SFF” theme.  This post isn’t really about that so much as the related subject of life and getting things right.

2015 Resolutions: Oh, God, So Much Work to Do!
